What’s Done During a Routine Service of Your Lawn Mower

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t think about your lawn mower until it’s time for a service. And even then, you might only think about the basics – changing the oil, checking the spark plug, and so on. But there’s a lot more that goes into a routine service of your lawn mower. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what’s done during a typical service and why it’s important. We’ll also provide some tips on how to maintain your lawn mower between services properly.

What’s usually done during a routine service of your lawn mower

A lawn mower service typically includes a few key steps. First, the engine is inspected, and all necessary adjustments are made. This may involve changing the oil, spark plugs, or air filter. Next, the cutter deck is checked for wear and tear, and any damage is repaired. The lawn mower wheels will be inspected and inflated to the proper pressure if needed. Finally, the lawn mower blades are sharpened to ensure a clean cut every time you mow.

Why it’s important to have your lawn mower serviced regularly

Proper lawn mower maintenance is important for many reasons. Not only does it help to keep your lawn mower in good working condition, but regular servicing also helps to identify and fix any potential problems before they cause damage to the lawn mower or result in an accident when using it. A poorly maintained mower can actually be quite unsafe to use, and the chance of malfunctioning becomes much higher. This can result in accidents that could have easily been prevented had the mower been kept in top working condition.  Finally, lawn mower maintenance is important for environmental and economic reasons. A lawn mower that’s running efficiently will use less fuel and produce fewer emissions.

What you can do to maintain your lawn mower between services

Regular and professional servicing of your lawn mower servicing is important to keep it running smoothly and avoid costly repairs. There are though a few things you can do to maintain your lawn mower between services, such as:

  • Check the engine oil level and top it up if necessary.
  • Clean the air filter and spark plug.
  • Adjust the cutting height.
  • Empty the grass catcher and clean under the deck after each use.
  • Store the mower in a dry and protected place when not being used.

By following these simple steps, you can help keep your lawn mower in good condition and avoid major problems down the road. Of course, it’s still important to have your lawn mower regularly serviced by a qualified technician, and we’d be happy to assist you with a regular servicing schedule.
