Lawn mower (Vadaš, Štúrovo)
Image via Wikipedia

The beginning of the Spring season alerts you that it is time to make preparation for your lawn mower out of storage (or hiding) and get it ready for the work of keeping your lawn looking well cared for . Getting your lawn mower ready for its season of work is not that laborious to do. In fact if you maintain your mower on a steady basis then it should only need a few adjustments at the start of the busy season to keep it running all throughout the months that it is needed.
Get Started

Here are a few tips to get you started getting your lawn mower up and running ? To start you should wipe it off with a dry cloth if it is dusty or dirty in any way . You then will need to drain any oil that was left in it and change the oil filter. The lawn mower will not run at its peak if there is a dirty oil filter
Change the Oil

The next step is to change the oil in the mower . Mowers are similar to cars in this manner- oil is a must! The oil in a lawn mower generally needs to be changed twice a year. Always get rid of the used oil with proper disposal methods . Inquire at your neighborhood car garage if you can dispose of the used oil using the proper methods of diposal that they offer.

What Next?

Once you have disposed of the used oil , It is know time to inspect the spark plugs and most likely change them and then to replace the air filter . After all of these mechanical elements have been taken care of , it is then time to give the mower deck a good cleansing.

Be Safe and deliberate as You Inspect

Once your mower is looking as snappy as possible, you then need to inspect the engine and free it from any dirt that has accumulated or any grass or leaves that are caught. You should also clean the blades at this time too.

Be as cautious as you can so you will not hurt yourself when you start the mower and touch the blades. Always make sure that the gasoline top on the lawn mower is secure before you start the mower over . Even if you think there may be a little gas in the mowers fuel tank , even a small amount can be dangerous. It is best to wear gardening gloves or some type of outdoor gloves when you are doing any work on the blades of your lawn mower.

Sharpen the Blades

If the blades of the lawn mower are dull and need sharpening, if you can do that at home then do so. If not then take the mower into the repair shop. Please note, when you take a mower in for repairs it should always be empty of gas for the sake of safety, both for transporting it as well as when it is being worked on. Some mowers are such that the blades can be removed and taken in for sharpening on their own.

Gas It Up

One of the last things that need to be done to get the lawn mower ready for the season is to fill up the gas tank. In order to keep the gas as fresh as possible, avoid using a can that is any bigger than two gallons.
