Here are some great ways you can repair your lawnmower.
| 1. | Remove the spark plug lead from the spark plug. Always do this before attempting any repairs to a lawnmower. |
| 2. | If your lawnmower is a "four stroke" mower (separate petrol and oil), tip the mower so that the spark plug is pointing skyward. Never tip it on its side with the spark plug to the ground. |
| 3. | If your lawnmower is "2 stroke" (oil and petrol mixed) turn off fuel tap. You can tip a two stroke mower any way that is suitable to you. |
| 4. | To change a blade, or blade disc, it is often easier to remove the spark plug and feed a length of string into the cylinder head to 'lock' the piston while trying to un-do the blade bolt(s). |
| 5. | Check the motors "air filter" while doing this sort of maintenance as a dirty or clogged air filter will affect engine performance and increase fuel consumption of your mower. |
| 6. | If your mower is a "four stroke" model, change the oil at least once a year. When it is tipped over with the spark plug in the air, is a good time to remove the "oil fill" plug and drain oil into an old ice-cream container for recycling. |
