1. Before using the lawnmower for the first time, take the time to thoroughly read and understand the operation and maintenance instructions provided in the user manual. Familiarizing yourself with the equipment will ensure safe and efficient use.
2. Always wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes when operating the lawnmower. Never use it barefoot or while wearing sandals, as this increases the risk of injury from flying debris or slips.
3. Before each use, perform a quick inspection: check that the blade is securely fastened and that all engine mounting screws are tight. Also, verify that the engine has enough oil—do not overfill—and ensure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
4. Never refuel the lawnmower while the engine is running or still hot. Always turn off the engine before adding gasoline, and never smoke near the fuel tank to prevent fire hazards.
5. Prior to mowing, walk through the area to be cut and remove any obstacles such as rocks, sticks, wires, or other debris. Be especially cautious of uneven ground, holes, or tree stumps that could cause accidents.
6. Never adjust the wheel height while the engine is running. Always stop the blade and wait for it to fully stop before making any adjustments. This ensures your safety and prevents damage to the machine.
7. Use different speeds depending on the grass condition. The highest speed is ideal for tall, thick grass, while the lowest speed works best for short, thin grass. Maintain a steady pace for optimal performance and safety.
8. When mowing on slopes, make sure the slope is within the recommended limits for your lawnmower model. Avoid steep inclines and never mow across a slope again. Be careful when changing direction to maintain control of the machine.
9. If you hit any foreign objects while mowing, stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the spark plug and inspect the lawnmower for any damage. Repair or replace damaged parts before using it again.
10. When crossing gravel paths or roads, turn off the engine and pass slowly. This reduces the risk of damaging the machine or losing control on rough surfaces.
11. Always check the blade before use. Replace it if it is worn, bent, or unbalanced. Continuing to use a damaged blade can lead to uneven cuts and may eventually cause the blade to break, posing a serious safety hazard.
12. After sharpening the blade, always check its balance. An unbalanced blade can cause excessive vibration, which may damage the mower and reduce its lifespan.
13. During disease-prone seasons, sterilize the blade and chassis before and after mowing to prevent the spread of plant diseases. This is especially important when working on multiple lawns or gardens.
14. Before inspecting the blade or performing any maintenance, disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. This simple step can save you from serious injuries.
15. To extend the life of the grass collection bag, empty and clean it after every use. Remove any weeds or debris and inspect the bag for tears or loose seams. Repair or replace it if necessary to avoid clogging or breakdowns.
16. At the end of the mowing season, store the lawnmower in a dry, well-ventilated area. Before storage, have it inspected and maintained by a professional or follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Disconnect the spark plug, clean the chassis thoroughly, and consider sealing the muffler and air filter to protect them during storage.
