Spring is coming, it’s time to maintain your lawn mower to ensure peak performance as your garden comes back to life after a few cold months. Here are few things you need to check before firing up.

1.Fuel Stabilization

Prevent carburetor clogs by employing a fuel stabilizer if your mower has been idle for more than 30 days. Remember to read the instructions on the container carefully before using a fuel additive.

2.Oil Check

Make sure there is enough oil in the oil reservoir as the designated mark on the dipstick. If maintenance has been lax since the previous mowing season, consider an oil change.

3.Spark Plug Inspection

Clean your spark plug. If the spark plug is too dirty to clean or the electrode worn down, we recommend you to replace it. Normally a spark plug needs replacing every 100 hours.

4.Blade Sharpening

When a mower has dull blades, it’s hard to make a smooth cut as the motor requires additional power to turn the blades. So it’s critical to keep your blades sharpen.

5.Air Filter Examination

Clean the filter with a mild detergent, if the filter is too worn to clean, replace it.

6.Deck Maintenance

Remove accumulated grass beneath the mower deck.

7.Belt Examination

Check for cracks and worn spots in the belts to prevent malfunction or improper operation.
