Check the Oil and Gas Before You Mow
Without gas, your mower won't start, and without oil, you'll quickly damage your engine. You'll want to make sure you have enough gas for the lawnmowing job and that your engine is well lubricated before you begin.
Clean Under the Deck After Each Mow
Cleaning out the stuck grass clippings in your deck after each mow will ensure that your mower runs smoothly and efficiently, as well as that no corrosion or rust can take place. This ensures proper airflow, as well as having to deal with fewer grass clippings in your storage space.
Clean and Replace the Air Filter Regularly
The air filter is crucial to any engine, and for your lawnmower, it will put less stress on your mower and ensure it is fuel efficient. This is a quick and inexpensive way to protect your engine from damage.
Properly Winterize Your Lawnmower
By properly winterizing your lawnmower, you'll ensure it will be ready to help beautify your lawn in the following spring. Some common steps to take to winterize your lawnmower include draining the gas before storing it for the winter, removing the battery to preserve its lifespan, and offering a good cleaning, too.
