Frequently asked questions
How do you clean a mower deck safely?
Disconnect the spark-plug wire (or remove the battery) before reaching under the deck. Clean while clippings are still moist, tip the mower with the carburetor / air-filter side up so oil does not run into the engine, and scrape with a plastic scraper — never metal, which scratches and invites rust.
Why clean equipment at the end of every day?
Daily cleaning keeps cooling fins clear so engines do not overheat, prevents corrosion and clipping buildup that degrades cut quality, and means equipment is ready to roll the next morning instead of being serviced.
