Winter is coming, and the temperature is starting to drop, making people feel cold. This is true for people, and machines are no exception. As more and more families have their gardens and lawns, Petrol lawn mowers have become indispensable machines for them. Once winter comes, our Petrol lawn mower and other outdoor power machines are basically in an idle state, and the idle time is often two months or more, which often causes the machine to start the following spring when the machine is not activated, so it is necessary to understand the maintenance of Petrol lawn mower in winter.

Petrol lawn mower

When the mower is stored for more than 30 days, first drain the fuel in the tank and start the gasoline engine until it stops due to fuel depletion; then drain the oil in the crankcase in the warm-up condition just after stopping, and then refill with new oil at the appropriate scale according to the recommended grade.

(1) Remove the spark plug and gradually drop 5-10 ml of oil into the cylinder block.

(2) Turn the crankshaft several revolutions.

(3) Install the spark plug.

(4) Dust and debris around the cutter, body, cylinder block, head fin, air guide, mesh cover, and muffler.

(5) placed in a suitable location for preservation.

It should be noted that storage in a heavily humid place should be avoided to avoid rusting and corrosion. Do not use plastic sheeting to cover the lawn mower. The non-porous plastic sheeting will prevent moisture from dispersing around the engine, prompting rust and corrosion.

Another reason why idle Petrol lawn mowers do not do well in winter maintenance, causing the machine to fail to start when it is activated in the coming spring, is that the fuel in the tank and gasifier is not burned out during winter maintenance, while the winter oil is not combustible. At the same time, the gasifier oil will also cause the gasoline volatilized precipitates clogged oil holes, making the machine unable to start or run unstable, so in the winter, before decommissioning, machinery must do an excellent job of maintenance before storage.

(1) drain the fuel in the tank.

(2) burn up the fuel in the gasifier. While opening the spark plug to the cylinder, drop 2-3 drops of oil finally, and pull the starter two times can.

If the causes and countermeasures have the following points that need to pay attention to after the winter or poor spring maintenance still needs to start.

(1) it may be the first year of oil in the tank has not been drained, so check whether the fuel is qualified fresh oil.

(2) If it is said that the carburetor in the previous year before the suspension of fuel is not burned out, then the carburetor should be cleaned (be sure to ask professionals to clean it).

(3) Send it to a professional store for repair.
