Important Tips For Your Mower

Fresh Fuel  

Your mower shouldn’t sound like its sick. If it’s spluttering along in the backyard as you mow, it is likely to be old or dirty fuel. Bad fuel can lead to troubles starting, so it’s a good idea to drain your mowers old petrol and replace it with fresh fuel regularly. Over the cooler months mower usage declines, so be prepared to put these practices in place throughout the winter period.

Where There’s Smoke

If your mower doesn’t require you to mix fuel and oil manually and it’s blowing a light coloured smoke, you’ll need to take it in to see a professional, as it could be something serious

Missing a Spark?   

If your mower just won’t start, check that you’ve got fuel. If you’ve got enough petrol then the next step is to check your mower’s spark plug before taking your mower in to the specialists. Fouled or loose spark plugs can be a common occurrence and are easily tightened, cleaned or replaced. Always read your mower’s instruction manual before you start cleaning or replacing spark plugs and be sure to reinstall the correct spark plug (make and model), as a different type of plug can cause serious engine damage.
