Lawnmowers And Rototillers
• Tune up for spring. When the grass starts to turn green, put your garden equipment in top running order.The spark plugs should be cleaned, checked and replaced if necessary. Adjust the carburetor and be sure the choke is working well. Replace transmission oil if necessary and then start the machine. If there are problems you can't solve by yourself, take it to a qualified serviceman.
• Watch your engine speed. Don't run a gas-powered lawnmower at full speed unless absolutely necessary. Learn to "hear" your motor; gradually open the throttle until the machine is working at optimum efficiency.
Warning: Never leave your machine idling for long periods or when you're not around. It's hard on the motor, wastes gasoline and is dangerous if there are pets or small children nearby.
• Electric lawnmower. Be sure to give it a spring checkup. The operator's manual will tell you where to squirt the oil and what type to use. Take off the hood of the motor and clean out any collected grass clippings. If you don't take this small precaution, the motor will have to work much harder than normal and could burn itself out.
Inspect the cord for breaks and cuts. Repair them with electrical tape.
