Starting Lawn Mower - How To Do It Right

Check oil and petrol before starting - tips for starting preparation

In order for your lawnmower to jump on the first pull on the starter cord, the engine must have sufficient oil and petrol available. You should therefore examine the supply of these resources before you turn on your petrol mower. How to proceed:

  • Open the fuel cap and take a look inside
  • If no gasoline can be seen, add new fuel up to the mark on the inside
  • Check the oil level and top up with new oil if necessary

Please make sure that neither petrol nor oil drips onto the engine or the cutting deck. As soon as you turn on the lawnmower, both substances burn with an unpleasant build-up of smoke.

Start the lawn mower in 5 simple steps - that's how it works

If the gasoline and oil levels are level, place the lawn mower on a level surface without stones or lawn. In order to start the engine in an exemplary manner, the following 5 steps are required:

  • Open the fuel cock
  • Adjust the cutting height on the wheels
  • Release the engine brake by pulling the lever towards the handlebar
  • Push the choke (throttle lever) on the handlebar forwards
  • Grasp the handle on the cable and pull firmly

If the engine does not start on the first pull, don't be discouraged and try two or three more times. As soon as the engine is running, regulate the fuel supply using the throttle. If excess gasoline is pumped into the engine, it begins to smoke because the combustion gases are not completely burned off. This process creates harmful deposits in the engine.

Tips

After the last cut of the lawn, your lawnmower will take a well-deserved winter break. To ensure that the engine starts again next spring when it is first suit, it receives careful maintenance before it is put away. Clean the device thoroughly and let the engine run until the tank is empty. Used gasoline is the most common cause of a lawnmower failing to start.
