ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH YOUR LAWNMOWER PARTS?

Before discussing the steps to make your mower go faster. I would like to share the basic information which helps you in understanding the steps I will discuss in the ensuing paragraphs. A typical lawn mower consists of a combustion engine or electric engine. After this, a mower consists of tires. Tires size depends upon the company and mower type. Similarly, the mower contains an electric system, Air and oil filters that protect the engines. Moreover, it also contains a carburetor which is used to mix the fuel and air and give it to the combustion engine. Finally, all these parts play an essential role in your lawnmower speed.

STEPS TO MAKE YOUR LAWNMOWER GO FASTER (TIPS AND TRICKS)

TIP 1 AIR FILTER IS A GAME CHANGER

In the first step, the air filter in the lawnmower is the game changer. Similarly to the lungs in human beings, Air filters in the mower provide fresh air to the engine. If your filter is dirty and soiled ultimately, your lawnmower speed is decreased.

To increase the speed of your machine, always check and replace the air filter frequently, and immediately after replacing you notice that the speed is increased and the mower starts mowing without lagging.

TIP 2 OIL CONDITION IN YOUR MOWER

Secondly, people do not care about the oil quality and quantity which ultimately impact badly the engine and is responsible for the speed decrease in your mower. Check the oil level by the oil gauge and if found to be low, immediately refill the oil.

Similarly, many people do not care about the type of oil used in their machines which damages the engine slowly and the power of your lawnmower is decreased. Always refill the oil which is recommended by the manufacturer in the instruction manual.

TIP 3 LENGTH OF GOVERNOR SPRING

Thirdly, the governor length is a small spring that controls the flow of fuel in the engine. If you increase the length of the governor spring it will allow more fuel to flow inside the engine and ultimately speed is increased.

Changing the length of the spring keeps in mind that It increases the fuel flow. So, if you mow the whole lawn in one tank. Maybe after changing the length, you need some additional fuel to mow the whole lawn.

TIP 4 FUEL QUALITY

The fourth tip is also common we don’t care about the fuel quality. Of course, the quality of fuel matters a lot. So always use good quality fuel, it will not only increase the speed but also your engine performance is the same as the new one.

The above-mentioned tips are essential for all types of mowers, but there are a few that are particularly helpful for riding and zero-turn mowers to help them work faster.

BLADES CONDITION

Additionally, dull blades damage the grass root and even leave the grass uncut during mowing. Therefore, always inspect the blades and if found deteriorated must sharpen them immediately.

BIGGER TIRES ALSO PLAY A VITAL ROLE

The company provides default-size tires which are best suited. However, if you buy additional bigger tires your speed is increased because the area cover time of the wheel per turn is increased. If you use the wrong size tires they get stocked and even jammed in the shaft and create another problem. Therefore, before doing this must read the instruction manual and buy accordingly which are best fitted in your lawnmower.

ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING HEIGHT

In the last, adjustment of cutting height also creates a difference. If you are mowing on a flat surface, adjust the height to the higher setting it will make maneuverability easy. Finally, it will create a difference in the speed of mowing.
