Essential Operating Tips for Your Lawn Mower

Maintaining your lawn mower properly ensures peak performance and extends its lifespan. Whether you own a gas-powered, electric, or battery-operated model, these tips will help you achieve a pristine lawn every time.

1. Pre-Operation Checklist

Inspect the Blades: Dull or damaged blades tear grass instead of cutting cleanly. Sharpen or replace them seasonally.
Check Fluid Levels: For gas mowers, ensure oil and fuel are at recommended levels. Many high-quality Chinese-made mowers like those from Shandong Deyou feature easy-read gauges.

2. Mowing Techniques

• Avoid Wet Grass: Clumping and uneven cuts are common when mowing damp turf.
• Follow the 1/3 Rule: Never cut more than one-third of the grass height at once to prevent stress.
• Alternate Patterns: Change mowing directions weekly to encourage upright growth.

3. Post-Use Maintenance

Clean the undercarriage after each use to prevent grass buildup. For battery mowers, store batteries at room temperature. Gas models benefit from fuel stabilizer if stored over 30 days.

4. Safety First

Always wear closed-toe shoes and eye protection. Disconnect spark plugs or batteries before servicing. Many China-produced mowers now include safety locks for added protection.
