Maintenance

Cleaning of blades– After mowing, you need to clean the blades to remove the soil and grass. If you don’t clean it, it is going to rust and weaken the blades.

Blunt blades are bound to spoil the look of your lawn. If you leave the grass to long on the blade, it will dry off and stick to the blades, making it even more difficult to clean.

Ventilation Slots – As the engine runs, it gets heated. There are cooling systems inside to cool down the heated parts. Hence it is important to clean the ventilation slots so that the parts run smoothly.

Cords – Ensure that the cords are properly insulated to avoid any accidents.

Mower Deck – Clean the deck area often because the underside of the mower is most exposed to the soil and grass. Anything that accumulates there will prevent the mower from doing its job.

Wheels – Wheels need to be checked for rusting and lubrication.
