Lawn Mower Maintenance Tips
Keeping your mower safe from hazards is not a tough task, but you need to be careful. A few things are must if you want to get the best out of the mower. Below you’ll find some important maintenance tips to keep your mower running for a long time.
- Know the mower properly. Read the user manual to make sure that you’ve read the instructions given by the manufacturer. Try to follow those if you want it to last long.
- During winter, you won’t use the mower. So, before storing it for the whole season, make sure that you’re draining the gasoline. Old gas can’t run the mower after a whole lazy season. Keep it running or drain out somehow else to get rid of the gas inside.
- Keep it clean. Try to clean the mower after every use. Grass and debris enter several parts of it and get accumulated inside. This affects the performance of the mower. Keeping it clean is a must because a clean one can perform its task perfectly.
- Keep your eyes on the blades. The blades lose sharpness with time. If you want the best performance from the mower, keeping the blades sharp is mandatory. Check those regularly and make sure that they are sharp enough. If not, consider sharpening or replacing those. Also, don’t forget to keep those balanced if you want superior performance.
- Check the mower regularly for damaging signs. It can be damaged in several ways. Check before using it every time. Also, be careful while using it to get rid of potential damages.
- Keep your eyes on the air filter. Wash or change it if you think the necessity. A clean air filter allows the mower to work perfectly. So, for good output, don’t forget to check the air filter regularly.
- Just like your vehicle, lawn mowers also demand oil changing. If you want it to run properly on your lawn, you should change the oil if you find it too old and dirty. Changing oil is not a big deal.
- If your mower is old, maybe one and a half years old, check the carburetor and replace it if needed. To secure the best performance, you should make sure that the carburetor is properly maintained. Clean it at least once in one and a half years.
- Fogging the engine is necessary if you want it to work seamlessly. Spraying fogging oil creates a barrier around the carburetor, spark plug, and other parts to make sure that no moisture is entering inside.
- Whenever you think that the mower is going through a problem that you can’t handle, ask for professional help only. Reach a good service provider. A professional service provider handles the mower with care.
- Don’t forget the importance of the tires. Keep those in good condition. No matter what type of tires and wheels the mower comes with, ensure that you’re maintaining those properly.
- Don’t put too much pressure on the mower. Each mower comes with a maximum capacity. Buy a mower that can cover your lawn easily so that you don’t have to put huge pressure on it. Putting pressure continuously reduces the life expectancy of the mower.
- Store the mower somewhere safe. Don’t leave it just here and there. Keep it away from accumulated water. When you’re keeping it off for a long time, make sure that you’re storing it somewhere dry.
When You Should Replace the Lawn Mower
Sometimes hiring lawn mower repair services is not the solution for a damaged mower. The only thing you can do is replace the mower with a new one. In those cases, repairing might run it for a few days only. Let’s talk about a few such situations.
When It is 10 Years Old
Typically a lawn mower is supposed to serve you for eight to ten years. If yours is already more than ten years old, you should think of buying a new mower. However, this rule is only for gas and electric mowers as those come with an engine and other components.
You can make your mechanical mower last longer than ten years by replacing the blade and maintaining the frame.
When It Needs New Transmission
Adding new transmission to your mower costs you a lot, maybe $500 or more. If you spend a bit more, you can get a new one. So, in such a case, think about the age of the mower.
If it is already close to the end of the expected lifespan, it would be wise to replace it instead of spending around $500 bucks for it.
When the Engine can’t be Repaired
There is no doubt that the engine is the most vital part of your mower. So, when it is damaged somehow, you should repair it as soon as possible.
But sometimes you can’t repair the engine for several reasons. A severely damaged engine can’t be repaired usually. You have to replace it. The cost of replacing the engine is almost similar to the cost of getting a new mower. So, why would you spend this huge amount on repairing the old one?
When You have to Repair It Frequently
Sometimes you can see that you have to spend a huge time repairing the mower, maybe more than the time you can use it to trim the grass. In this case, you should replace it.
Spending on repairing this mower is not an ideal solution anymore. Repairing such frequently costs you a lot without delivering any benefit. So, replacing is the best thing you can do in this case.
When It can’t Meet Your Demand
If you move to a house with a larger lawn, there is a chance that your old mower can’t handle the task of cutting the grass of such a huge lawn. In this case, instead of putting huge pressure on it, you can replace it with a new one.
Putting pressure would damage the mower eventually. So, switching to a new one is the best option for you in such situations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
