Maintaining Your Lawn Mower

Ensuring your lawn mower is in good working condition will not only result in a better-looking lawn, but will also reduce the risk of frustration in the middle of the mowing season! Our team at AHW LLC is here to help you find the right lawn and ag equipment, so continue reading for a few maintenance tips that will keep your yard looking great and your mower running right.

1. Blades

You should regularly check your lawn mower blades for optimal performance and safety. This is an important maintenance task because cutting with a dull blade can tear up your lawn, leaving it looking rough and unhealthy. Sharpening the lawn mower blade will help it cut more efficiently, saving you time and energy in the long run.

2. Engine

Next, you’ll want to regularly monitor the engine. Dirt and debris can build up on the lawn mower engine over time and cause unnecessary wear and tear if not cleaned regularly, so you’ll need to clean it often. You’ll also need to check the oil levels and filters and replace them as needed.

3. Air Filters

Air filters become clogged with dirt and debris over time, so it's essential to clean or replace them regularly to ensure lawn mower performance.

4. Spark Plugs

Spark plugs can wear out over time, so replacing them annually is a good idea for lawn mower maintenance. This will help keep your lawn mower running smoothly all season long.

Completing these maintenance tasks will keep your lawn mower working well throughout the year, but if you need additional parts or service, our team can help!
