Protecting Yourself
Keeping your garden clean and tidy can sometimes be a struggle, especially when there is hard to reach branches or wood to cut through. Protecting
Reading the owner’s manual for your mower is essential for safety, proper operation, maintenance, and overall performance. It provides valuable information that ensures you get the most out of your investment and helps keep both you and your equipment safe.
Lawn mower repair technicians say old fuel is one of the main suspects when a mower won’t start. You should run the remaining fuel out of the mower or drain it at the end of each mowing season, and always use fresh fuel in the spring.
Monitor the oil level in your mower and look for floating debris or oil that appears to be a dark black in colour. Old or contaminated oil should be drained and replaced. To change the oil, remove the drain plug underneath the mower and allow it to drain completely. If your mower doesn’t have a drain plug you’ll need to carefully tilt the mower on its side and drain the oil through the fill hole. If you are unsure of what oil to use please contact us.
Grass can get caked in the undercarriage potentially clogging the mower’s discharge chute. Use a wire brush to scrape grass clippings and dirt from the undercarriage and spray the remaining debris away with a hose. As a safety precaution, always disconnect the spark plug before working around the undercarriage.
A clogged or dirty air filter puts added stress on the mower and burns fuel less efficiently. Most lawn mowers have a paper or foam air filter that can be easily accessed. Replacement air filters are inexpensive, so we recommend getting an annual replacement from us to ensure optimal performance.
Like the air filter, the spark plug is extremely important to a functioning lawn mower, yet inexpensive and easy to replace. Change the spark plug every year to ensure an easy start. Unhook the spark plug wire and remove the old plug with a socket or spark plug wrench. Install the new plug but make sure not to overtighten it or it could prevent the mower from starting.
Mower blades endure a great deal of stress thanks to rocks, large branches and other hidden objects. A dull blade rips and tears grass instead of providing a clean cut. Some people sharpen their own blades with a vice and metal file, but it’s not recommended for the inexperienced. Allow us to sharpen your blades so you cannot be harmed.
It’s a great way to ensure your mower is in top working order for the mowing season. We will service your mower by draining the old fuel from the mower (if needed), replace the air filter and spark plug and perform basic diagnostic tests.
