4. Which lawnmower should be preferred if there are many bushes on the site?
If there are a large number of bushes on the site, it is necessary to select not only a maneuverable model. Separately, you should pay attention to the width of the mowing.

In this case, it can be either a self-propelled model or a lawn mower, which must be set in motion by pushing.

Perhaps the mowing of the lawn was carried out at a high speed of movement of the lawn mower. Try to move the device slower or disable the self-movement feature of self-propelled models. In no case is it recommended to mow the lawn even shorter; take care of the grass with the usual frequency.

To maximize the performance of the mower in the new season, you need to prepare the device for proper storage in the winter.

2. Check oil level. All working parts to be lubricated must be in the oil, even during storage. If the oil level is insufficient, you should add fluid or completely change it.
3. Clean the mower. Residual grass falling into the exhaust area, cooling fins and other heated parts of the device can cause fire when the mower is first started after winter storage.

For battery models, it is important to store the equipment in a warm room. Ensure that children cannot access stored equipment.
