Have you ever tried to mow your lawn for the first\ntime in the spring just to realize your lawnmower wouldn\u2019t start? Did you know this could be due to the way you\nstored it the previous fall? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To avoid any damages to your lawnmower next spring,\nour experts share how to properly store your lawnmower in 5 easy steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Empty the gas tank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Because gasoline is a non-stable fuel, leaving it in\nyour lawnmower could cause the gas to degrade over winter. This could cause\ndamages when spring comes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To avoid this problem, during your last mow, empty\nyour gas tank by leaving your lawnmower running until it runs out and stops\nitself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Check the oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Just like any motor vehicle, lawnmowers also need oil\nchanges from time to time. It is very important to check the oil levels before\nstoring it for winter. Dispose of the old oil and replace as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Deep Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After several months of usage, your lawnmower needs to\nbe carefully cleaned. While tipping it backwards, remove excess grass under\nblades with the help of a brush and soapy water. If you choose to use a garden\nhose, make sure the water pressure is adequate to avoid breaking your lawnmower\nand its respectable parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never tip your lawnmower to its side while cleaning\nit, this could cause irreversible mechanic damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
