Getting your Outdoor Power Equipment Ready for Spring
Get Your Outdoor Power Equipment Ready for Spring
Yes, you read that right. True, Winter is almost upon us — but when it comes to your lawn and garden power equipment, such as lawnmowers, tillers, and trimmers, the time has come to plan ahead for Spring. Some care and maintenance now will guarantee that your equipment is ready to roar into action come Springtime!
Before putting your equipment away for the winter, here are some recommendations on what to do in order to make sure your outdoor power equipment is running smoothly when Spring arrives.
- inspect for worn parts: if necessary, replace tires, or sharpen blades.
- replace any missing parts, such as nuts and bolts, o-rings, etc.
- change the fuel and air filters
- clean or replace spark plugs
- add fuel stabilizer or drain the fuel
- clean off caked on dirt so moisture isn’t trapped against the metal
- scrape off rust and clean and protect metal parts
- lubricate hinges and moving parts
