Introdução

Cleaning your lawnmower is not only essential for smooth operation; it will extend the life of your machine. The underside of the deck of the lawnmower can quickly become caked with grass clippings and debris if left uncleaned. It is essential to clean this part of the lawnmower at least twice a mowing season to avoid damage.

Normal cleaning procedures for a gas-powered mower often include using a hose or pressure washer to remove debris. Getting an electric mower wet in this fashion has a strong possibility of damaging the lawnmower beyond repair. This guide uses a Greenworks M060L00 lawnmower to demonstrate how to clean your electric mower safely without using any water.

    • Remove battery and safety key.

    • Position the lawnmower on its side. Ensure the working surface is level and firm.

    • Secure the lawnmower blade with a block of wood.

    • The lawnmower blade will want to rotate counterclockwise. Place the correct end of the blade against the wood block to avoid unnecessary blade rotation.

    • Remove the bolt holding the lawnmower blade using a 17mm wrench or socket wrench.

    • Wear heavy work gloves if you are worried about working around a sharp lawnmower blade.

    • Use a plastic scraper to remove grass and debris from the underside of the lawnmower deck.

    • A metal scraper may damage the coating on the lawnmower allowing for rust to form.

    • Optional: Use a brass brush to remove finer particles from lawn mower deck.

    • Brass brushes are soft enough to avoid scraping the protective coating. Use of a steel brush is not advised for this reason.

    • Replace the blade assembly. Hand tighten the lawnmower blade bolt.

    • Ensure the blade is blocked to resist clockwise rotation.

    • Tighten the lawnmower bolt using a 17mm wrench or socket wrench.

    • Do not overtighten the lawnmower blade bolt. Overtightening could cause the bolt to crack.

Conclusão

Regular cleaning of your lawnmower is a simple task that allows the machine to run smoothly while increasing its lifespan. Electric lawnmowers cannot get wet, so using a power washer or hose makes the cleaning process slightly more involved. Despite this, it is still a relatively simple process that will make mowing your lawn a more enjoyable process.
