BS Power’s Maintenance Tips for Ensuring the Longevity

 

With great power comes great responsibility, as is the adage from Uncle Ben to Spiderman, and you can apply this advice to owning any piece of equipment, including a riding mower. It goes without saying that regular maintenance should be non-negotiable to keep your machine running smoothly and efficiently for years to come. In fact, taking proper care of your ride on mower won’t give you the best performance but will also prevent any potentially costly repairs, effectively extending the lifespan of your machine:

 

Cleaning and Sharpening Your Blades

 

After every use make sure to remove the grass clippings, dirt and any debris from the deck of the mower, to prevent buildup that will affect the mower’s performance. Be sure to regularly inspect and sharpen your mower’s blades to ensure that every cut is clean and precise and to reduce the strain on the engine. Lastly, always check for rust or any damage to the blades and replace them immediately if necessary.

 

Taking Care of Your Engine and Fuel

 

Make sure that you regularly change the engine oil and replace the oil filter when needed to ensure your mower’s engine runs efficiently. Always use fresh, high-quality fuel, and add a fuel stabilizer if you’re planning on storing your mower for a long time. Be sure to periodically clean and replace the mower’s air filter to ensure proper airflow and to help prevent any strain on the engine. Regularly inspect the mower’s spark plugs and replace them if you come across any signs of wear or corrosion.

 

Maintaining Your Battery and Storing the Mower

 

Before you store your mower away for the off-season, be sure to run it until the fuel tank is close to being empty. Alternatively, you can use a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from degrading and doing long-term damage. Make sure you keep your mower stored in a dry, covered area to protect it from the harsh elements. Rust is not your friend.

 

Ensure that your battery is disconnected, and keep it stored in a dry, cool place to prevent power drainage. Lastly, regularly lubricate the mower’s moving parts, and apply a rust inhibitor to all the metal components to prevent corrosion.

 

BS Power’s Safety Tips

 

Your safety should be your number one priority when using a ride on mower, so make sure you adhere to our safety tips when using one.

 

Always wear proper protective gear like safety gloves, eye goggles, and a pair of decent, sturdy boots. Try to avoid mowing the grass when it’s wet as this will prevent skidding. Always keep your hands and feet away from the dangerous moving blades. Finally, never allow children to use the mower unsupervised.
