Introduction
Chinese – made lawn mowers are known for their reliability and affordability. To make the most of your lawn mower, here are some essential operating tips.
Pre – operation Checks
Inspect the Lawn Mower
Before starting, check the blades for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly. Also, examine the body of the mower for any loose parts or signs of wear.
Fuel and Oil
Ensure there is enough fuel in the tank. For gasoline – powered mowers, use the recommended fuel type. Check the oil level as well. Low oil can cause engine damage.
During Operation
Cutting Height
Adjust the cutting height according to the type of grass and the season. In general, taller grass is better for the lawn’s health as it helps the roots grow deeper.
Mowing Pattern
Change your mowing pattern regularly. This prevents the grass from leaning in one direction and promotes even growth.
Post – operation Care
Clean the Mower
After mowing, clean the grass clippings from the mower deck. This helps prevent rust and keeps the mower running smoothly.
Storage
Store the lawn mower in a dry place. If it’s going to be stored for a long time, drain the fuel and oil to prevent corrosion.
