Lawn Mower Winterizing Tips Save Money and Hassle
(PRWEB) November 6, 2006 -- With rainstorms pelting the West Coast and snow falling in the Great Lakes, it is time for homeowners across the country to properly winterize their lawn mowers with help from AllAboutLawns.com (http://www.allaboutlawns.com). Winterizing mowers takes several steps, including draining the gas, cleaning the mower, replacing air filters, and changing the oil. When not properly maintained, lawn mowers can not only be frustrating and costly but also damaging to the environment and unsafe. Older mowers, especially those that haven't been properly maintained, do not perform as well and may be dangerous.
Following these easy maintenance steps for your lawn mower this winter will save you time and frustration with lawn mower repairs next spring:
*
Drain the gas out of the tank
*
Clean the mower with a brush and hot soapy water, making sure to rinse well
*
Sharpen the blade
*
Replace the air filter
*
Change the oil
*
Apply a little oil to the sparkplug hole
*
Lube the cables and throttle control
*
Store your mower in a garden shed or your garage
According to Consumer Reports, a self-propelled gas-powered lawn mower can cost $200 to $900. Winterizing your lawn mower can help you avoid that kind of annual expense and can free up money for other home improvement projects.
Proper mower maintenance, before winter and throughout the year, can also help reduce mower emissions by as much as 50 percent, reports the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) in "National Wildlife," the organization's bi-monthly magazine. The manager of NWF's Climate Change and Wildlife Program, Jeremy Symons, notes that tuned lawn mowers use 30 percent less fuel, last longer, and save their owners money. "By using energy more efficiently and cutting down on emissions, homeowners can help stretch limited resources, cut down on air pollution, slow global warming and protect wildlife habitat."
Lawn mower maintenance is not only beneficial for the environment, it also increases lawn care safety. In addition to being hard to start, old lawn mowers can deliver an uneven cut or may be unsafe. If the lawn mower is beyond reviving with the above maintenance tips or if an estimate on lawn mower repair is costly, consider purchasing a new lawn mower this winter. Stores are often eager to sell mowers at great prices during the winter months. Information about various types of lawn mowers and how to maintain them is available on AllAboutLawns.com (http://www.allaboutlawns.com/lawn-mowing-mowers/its-easy-being-green.php).
