Protect Your investment

After you rake out all the leaves, do not relax. Remember Robert
Frost. There are miles to go before you sleep and miles (well
not exactly) to go before your lawn mower is allowed to sleep.
Unless you do it, your lawn mower might be put to a longer
sleep. It may not wake up when winter goes away, and when you
need your lawn mower most.

The Why Of Lawn Mower Winterizing

Gasoline in the carburetor of your lawn mower, does not take
kindly to lowered temperatures of winter. The gasoline gums up
and when you try to restart it after the winter, there s no
gasoline flow to your engine and it does not start. You will not
be able to do the maintenance by yourself. You will lose time
and money making the trip to your friendly neighborhood
mechanic. You get all this, for not following up simple steps of
winterizing your lawn mower. Avoid all this winterize your lawn
mower.

The How of Lawn Mower Winterizing

There are some simple steps for winterizing your lawn mower. You
can do it your self without involving any one else.

1. The first thing to do is to remove the gasoline in the tank.
This can be done by siphoning the contents in the in a plastic
can. Usually a single gallon container should be sufficient.

2. Keep the can tightly closed after decanting contents of the
lawn mower. Place the can in such a way that it cannot topple
over and spill the content.

3. If you use the same grade of gasoline in your car, transfer
the content to the car tank, it is much safer that way, or
transfer it to winter heating system if that is possible instead
of storing gasoline in a can.

4. Run the engine until the remaining fuel is completely
consumed and engine stops on its own.

5. Drain gearbox oil and crank case oil. Dispose off the oil as
per guidelines from municipal authorities for disposal of
hazardous waste or hand it over to municipal authorities for
doing it. NEVER, EVER, dump it in sewer or on ground.

6. Remove the spark plug, put lubricating oil (about 50
millilitres) through the opening, and crank up the engine using
the rope, so the piston and crankshaft is lubricated.

7. Ensure that you are wearing hand gloves before you do any of
the following activities and take safety precautions to avoid
any injury to your hands.

8. Turn over the engine and clean the undersides of the lawn
mower to remove traces of grass, muck attached to the blades and
clean the working parts of lawn mower. Remove any foreign
material lodged between blade and body.

9. With a small piece of steel wool, clean all the underside
areas and remove any rest from the covers and body of the lawn
mower.

10. Apply protective solution like WD-40 to the cleaned up
surfaces

11. If required, remove, sharpen and refit the blade, and turn
the lawn mower to its normal position.

12. Change the air filter and the oil filter. If it is possible
to clean the air filter, you can do so, but if it is made of
paper, it must be replaced. The air filters and oil filters can
also be replaced just before re-using the lawn mower, but it
pays to do this while winterizing as you might forget doing so
before starting.

13. Fill up the tires with air and wheel it to its resting place
for winter When spring arrives and the grass is ready to be cut,
fill up the fuel tank with gasoline and start up. Your old
faithful lawn mower will purr into motion and you will be ready
for your<a href=" http://www.homes-seekers.net"> lawn
maintenance</a>. It will purr like a contented cat.
