How To Get Your Lawn Mower Ready For Mowing Season | Tips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since your mower’s been sitting idle for the last few months, it will need a little attention before you fire it up this Spring.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, remove the spark plug wire before you check the blade for sharpness and balance. If the blade is dull, remove and sharpen it. A dull blade will simply tear the grass instead of making a clean cut, and THAT can lead to lawn disease. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clean the mower housing inside and out and lubricate all moving parts, including the wheels. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, make sure to install a new spark plug and fill the tank with fresh gasoline. Gas that has been sitting in a container a few months will potentially gum up the motor. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, remember to think safety when you start the mower up and take on the lawn this year.</span></p>
