Title: A Quick Guide for Starting a Push Lawn
1A Quick Guide for Starting a Push Lawn Mower
- Starting the lawn mower will vary for each brand
and model of the lawn mower. This content will
help you to get started on.
2Step 1 Check Fuel and Oil Levels
After your lawn mowing session is completed, you
need to refill the fuel and also check the level
of oil. Commonly what happens is that after
finishing the lawn mowing, people just tend to
put their mower aside unattended all winter and
when it is taken back for lawn mowing, often
forget to check the fuel and oil levels and so
the mower doesnt start up appropriately.
- Fill up the fuel to the desired level.
- Ensure the motor oil level is proper in your
mower. Without proper levels of oil, it will harm
the engine. - Some two stroke engines require a mixture of fuel
and oil. So follow manufacturers instructions
thoroughly.
3Step 2 Using Prime Button
- You need to look for the prime button, which
would be red or black in colour and usually it is
located near the spark plug. In order to force
the fuel into the lines, you need to push it 3 to
4 times however, dont overdo it else it will
flood the engine.
- Remember not all lawn mowers possess a prime
button in such case, just open the throttle
entirely for activating the choke. Ensure the
motor oil level is proper in your mower. Without
proper levels of oil, it will harm the engine.
4Step 3 Examine the Spark Plug
- On to the rear or side of the motor, you would be
able to see the end of the spark plug that is
sticking with a lid that appears like a broad
cable with a rubber cap fixed to it. This
facilitates the motor to operate smoothly, so you
need to ensure that the lid is securely fixed to
the spark plug.
5Step 4 Unlock the Throttle
- In order to keep the engine running smoothly
after starting it, you need to place the throttle
lever in the middle to high position so that
consistent fuel is delivered to the engine.
6Step 5 Be Careful when Starting the Lawn Mower
- In case your lawn mower is older and does not
contain a safety switch, ensure its steady and
placed on level ground. The latest lawn mowers
come with an integral safety switch which you
require holding down when starting. When starting
up the mower, you need to pull and hold it.
7Step 6 Pull up Penetratingly
- When holding the starting lever support your arm
and grip the starter handle (fixed at the end of
a string or cable) and pull up speedily and
tightly. You may need to repeat it number of
times before the motor starts up.
- When starting up, if it clutters and sounds like
starting up, but really it doesnt start up, you
need to examine the fuel level in the fuel tank. - If the required level of fuel is there and still
it does not start, you should examine whether the
spark plug is properly fixed or not.
8Step 7 User Manual
- Suppose you are still not able to start your
mower, you need to refer the manufacturers user
manual and go over lawnmowers check up and
troubleshooting procedure.
