Lawn mowers are essential tools for maintaining a beautiful yard. Here are some useful operating tips:

Pre – operation Checks

Before starting the lawn mower, check the oil level. Low oil can damage the engine. Also, examine the spark plug. A worn – out spark plug may cause starting problems. Inspect the blades. Dull blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which is bad for the grass health.

Starting the Mower

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for starting. Usually, you need to set the choke and then pull the starter cord firmly and smoothly. Avoid yanking the cord too hard as it can break.

Mowing Techniques

Mow in a pattern. Rows or stripes can make your lawn look more organized. Don’t cut the grass too short. A good rule of thumb is to never remove more than one – third of the grass blade at a time. This helps the grass stay healthy and strong.

Post – operation Care

After mowing, turn off the mower properly. Let it cool down before cleaning. Clean the under – carriage to remove grass clippings and debris. This prevents rust and keeps the mower in good working condition.
