It can be expensive to have your mower serviced
but to be honest most servicing can be done
by yourself. Cylinder mower blades and badly
chipped and damaged rotary blades need to
be sharpened professionally. |

Electric
Mowers |

Before you start cleaning make sure its
unplugged from the mains. Remove all grass
and soil from underside that's caked-on
using a scraper. Check plastic casing for
cracks and damage. Any doubts on doing it
yourself then have it serviced professionally. |

Petrol Mower

start
your mower and run the fuel down. Once fuel
tank is empty remove spark plug lead. Remove
spark plug and clean , its as cheap to just
replace old spark plug with a new one. Remove
the old oil from the engine by the drain
plug. Remove the air filter and give a good
clean ,remove grass and dust ,I use a tooth
brush to do that. Remove all grass and soil
from the rollers, blades and grass box.
Turn upside down the mower to clean the
underside. Use a scraper and wire brush.
Be careful of the blades. It maybe best
if you can to remove the blades first. Check
for cracks on the casing of the mower. Check
to see if the throttle and clutch cables
are not worn, put a little 3 in one oil
on a rag and wipe the cables.

| Topping
up with oil |
|
Once your machine is clean and the right
way up then fill the mower up with new oil
making sure its at the correct level. If
you are in any doubt about servicing your
mower then have it serviced by the professionals.
To keep your blades in tip top condition
remove any dirt and rust using a wire brush
then wipe them over with an oily rag.( 3-1
oil).
