Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers have gained popularity worldwide due to their high – quality, cost – effectiveness, and advanced technology. Here are some essential operating tips to ensure you get the most out of your lawn mower.

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting your lawn mower, check the fuel level. Use high – quality fuel to ensure smooth operation. Also, check the oil level. If it’s low, add the recommended oil type as specified in the user manual.

Blades

Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which may lead to an unhealthy lawn. Sharpen or replace the blades as needed.

Wheels and Deck

Make sure the wheels are properly inflated and in good condition. Check the mower deck for any debris or blockages that could affect the cutting performance.

Operation

Starting the Mower

Follow the correct starting procedure in the user manual. Usually, it involves priming the engine, setting the choke, and pulling the starter cord firmly.

Cutting Height

Adjust the cutting height according to the type of grass and the season. In general, it’s better to cut the grass at a higher setting during hot and dry weather to help the grass retain moisture.

Mowing Pattern

Change your mowing pattern regularly. Mowing in the same direction every time can cause the grass to lean in one direction and lead to an uneven lawn. Alternate between horizontal, vertical, and diagonal patterns.

Post – operation

Cleaning

After mowing, clean the lawn mower thoroughly. Remove any grass clippings from the deck, blades, and wheels. This helps prevent corrosion and keeps the mower in good working condition.

Storage

If you’re not going to use the mower for an extended period, store it in a dry and protected place. Drain the fuel and oil to prevent damage from stale fuel and to avoid leaks.
