Problems with lawn mowers

As with any gardening equipment used, wheeled lawn mowing equipment requires compliance with the rules of safe use. Motorized machinery can only be operated in good working order. this is an unshakable requirement. And before you turn on an electric or gasoline-powered machine, you should always make sure it is in good condition. When carrying out work, general safety rules and the requirements of the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed.

There are five major problems with using a lawn mower:

• hitting an obstacle;
• Leaking oil;
• blades get clogged with grass;
• The machine rakes the dirt along with the grass;
• uneven cutting.

All of the problems are to some degree or another solvable. In the first two situations, you will most likely need to seek help from professionals. And to prevent such problems, it is recommended to check the site before mowing for stones and other objects in the grass lawn, as well as do not put the unit for storage in an upside down form.

Young, soft, succulent grass can clog the grass ejection opening, and then unstable, torn motor operation is observed. In this case, you should periodically stop work to clean the hole of adhered grass segments with a thin, sharp tool.

When your mower powerfully rakes not only grass stalks but also lumps of earth, adjusting the cutting height so that the blade doesn’t reach the ground can help. If the machine with a normally working motor cuts the grass in uneven strips, shreds, the problem is with the blade: either blunted or not properly installed.

To clarify the correct position of the cutting tool will help to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is better to entrust the sharpening of the blade to a specialist.

Don’t forget to wear personal protective equipment when working with a lawn mower. Check the equipment regularly, to detect defects in time and solve the problem before a serious breakdown occurs.

Adjusting the cutting height on the lawnmower

Lawn mowers are designed to adjust the height of the grass cut. The range may vary from model to model. Manufacturers of equipment indicate the minimum and maximum value of this parameter in the accompanying documentation. The inexpensive models usually have 3 variable height positions, the more expensive and advanced models can have 5-7 positions of the height adjuster.

To care for bumpy lawns, usually choose a model with a wider range of height adjustment.

The technical solution for selecting the cutting height can vary from model to model. There are two types of regulation: manual and mechanical. The first involves stopping the engine and changing the regulator position manually. Mechanical method allows you to change the height of mowing by pushing a button on the control lever without interrupting the process.

I disagree. very difficult with a chain saw, heavy and time-consuming (for me). I could never get the hang of it. I mow only manually, for a long time I mowed with a badly chopped and blunt mower. I can mow a 750 kg trailer with a big mountain for 20-30 minutes with a break. Depends on the grass and the mood. Didn’t count laying time. Koshu only in the daytime, I can’t do it at other times. I mow where I have to. That’s why the grass is different. By the way, I mow in two directions, a swath, I think it’s called. I can do it with ease. It’s only my third year mowing on my own and all the time. Throughout the grass season. My husband used to mow the trailer in 10 minutes. I just loved it 😆 But the man has been mowing all his life. And I made a good scythe, you can’t compare it with me. But, these are two extremes, so started a theme to learn, so to speak, the average.

When mowing with a hand-held mower it’s not so much strength that’s needed, but skill. IMHO. How many times I’ve seen it in the countryside. The old grandpa used to mow better than the young and strong ones. I never learned to mow with a hand held mower, I guess I lack patience, but a gasoline mower. Again a plus, the manual only in the dew is good, and benzo at any time. For 1.5 hours with a gasoline grasshopper mow and I’ll put the car trailer full (750 kg). Usually there are two of us, so one of us mows and one collects and it takes less than an hour. With a gasoline mower it’s easier to put 2 rows in a swath, then it’s twice as fast to collect. Now lawnmowers are not expensive, even with 1-2 horses will pay for itself in 2 seasons for sure, and the savings in their forces, too, is worth something.

Lawnmower basics

Essentially, any lawn mower is a motor with a pair of sharp blades attached to the motor shaft. The whole structure of the shaft of the motor with the impeller is closed by plastic or steel protection and is fixed on a wheeled cart. Despite the relatively large weight of the machine, in theory, any adult person without special physical training can mow with a lawnmower. Nevertheless, mowing the grass is not as easy as the advertisements may look.

In order to properly and safely operate a lawn mower, you need to:

• Properly maintain the device, adjust and prepare the lawnmower for operation;
• It is good to orient on the area to be mowed. Before you start, inspect the area and remove rocks, large limbs, any debris that could chip the cutting edge, blade and motor;
• If there are flowerbeds or shrubs on the lawn, think in advance about the route of the mower and where to unload the cutting container.

Tip! Before you go out to actually mow the lawn, try mowing vegetation of varying heights on the flattest and most convenient site. This is necessary to learn how to mow and control the movement of the rather bulky mower cart so that you can see and feel the dimensions of the device when avoiding obstacles.

Problems when operating lawn mowers

Like any gardening equipment used, wheeled lawn mowing equipment requires adherence to safe use rules. You can only operate a motorized technique if it is in good working order. this is an immutable requirement. And before you turn on an electric or gasoline-powered machine, be sure to make sure it is in good condition. General safety rules and the requirements of the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed when operating.

There are five main problems when using a lawn mower:

• hitting an obstacle;
• leaking oil;
• blades become clogged with grass;
• the machine rakes the earth together with the grass
• uneven cutting.

All problems are more or less solvable. In the first two situations, most likely, you will need to seek help from specialists. And to prevent such problems, it is recommended to check the area before mowing for stones and other objects in the grass lawn, as well as not to put the machine for storage in an upside down form.

Young, soft, succulent grass can clog the ejection port and cause the motor to become unstable and torn. In this case it is necessary to stop work periodically for cleaning of an aperture from the adhered segments of grass by means of a thin sharp tool.

When a mower powerfully rakes not only grass stems but also lumps of earth, it is possible to correct the situation by readjusting the height of cut so that the blade does not reach the ground. If a machine with a normally working motor cuts the grass in jagged strips and shreds, there is a problem with a knife: it is either blunted or not installed correctly.

Referring to the manufacturer’s instructions will help clarify the correct positioning of the cutting tool. It is better to entrust the sharpening of the knife to a specialist.

Remember to wear personal protective equipment when working with the lawnmower. Check your power tools regularly so that you can detect faults in time to solve the problem before a serious breakdown occurs.
