Spring will be here before you know it. Make sure your rider is ready for that first cut with these tips.
Step 1: Prepare your lawn mower
Before performing any maintenance on your equipment, disconnect the spark plug.
Step 2: Remove last season’s fuel and oil
Fuel can become stale in as little as 30 days, so you want to remove last season's fuel from your rider to prevent starting issues. Use a siphon to remove both the old oil and fuel.
Step 3: Inspect your lawn mower
Next, you'll want to inspect your motor’s parts for any wear or tear and replace them if they're worn or damaged. This includes your air filter, belts, mower blades, tires and spark plug.
Step 4: Re-install your battery
Once you've inspected your rider, re-install your battery and tighten the connections. Be careful not to touch both battery posts at the same time with your wrenches.
Step 5: Remove debris
Remove debris from around the engine muffler and cutting deck. Always wear gloves and be careful not to use any tools that could scratch the paint and cause rust.
Step 6: Add new fuel and oil
When you're done, add the new oil and fuel. if you're using gasoline with ethanol make sure to use a fuel stabilizer to help keep it fresh for more than 30 days, or you can use synthetic fuels without ethanol to avoid engine damage.
Step 7: Re-connect spark plug
Finally, re-connect the spark plug and you're good to go!
By following these tips you'll know your rider is ready for that first spring day.
