Pick the Right Mower:
Whether you are buying a mower or leasing machinery, choose an acceptable mower for the job. Use a reel lawnmower when the lawn is less than 500 square feet. A mower powered by batteries is a great option at all stages. Such mowers don’t use fuel and don’t use oil so they’re environmentally friendly.
Clean the yard Before Mowing:
Clear objects and mark hazards for safety before lawn mowing begins. Use a rake to catch leaves, loose stones, dog bones, small toys, bottles, cans or other items like that. Every item lying on the ground can be propelled out of the discharge chute of the mower at great speed, reaching velocities as high as 200 miles per hour. If there are low-lying objects, such as pipes, that can not be moved, mark their positions so you don’t accidentally run into them.
Maintain your Mower in good condition:
Look for obstructions in the blade area of the mower before you start mowing, particularly when the mower has just been purchased. If they feel tight, apply a little oil to the movable parts. If the mower is over a year old, you may need to sharpen the blades or your lawn would look ragged after you’ve mowed it. If the blade is sharpened before its first application, a new mower can work a lot better.
More Tips:
- Always encourage kids to play nearby when you’re lawn mowing: something could fly out of the discharge chute, causing injury. You should not take children on a riding mower “along for the ride.”
- Mowing of the lawn should be done when the grass is dry. Wet grass can cause your mower to slip, and soggy clippings will clump and clog. Damp grass cutting also leaves it vulnerable to fungal illnesses.
- By always moving across the hill, not up and down, a sloping field avoids injuries when lawn mowing. The exception is when you use a riding lawn mower riding mowers is easier when running on slopes up and down.
