Cleaning
Keeping your lawn mower clean will improve performance and the longevity of your mower. It will also make it easier to identify potential problems. Your cleaning process should include the controls, blades, tires, and body of the mower. You can utilize a leaf blower or compressed air to remove debris and then use soap and water to rinse away the grime.
Batteries
The battery on your mower is a critical component for performance. You should test your battery at least once a year and make sure to protect it from debris and dirt build-up. You may need to replace your battery every few years with frequent use.
Tires
Lawn mower tires are also an important component for performance, especially if you have a model that utilizes the tires to adjust the deck height. You want to make sure your tires have the right air pressure and don’t have too much wear to affect their performance. Mowers often go through a lot of wear and tear, so inspecting and repairing your tires when necessary can improve the lifespan of your mower overall.
