Now that winter is drawing in and the grass has stopped growing it’s time to pack the lawnmower away for the winter. But before you do so it’s worth giving your mower a winter service.

Servicing your machine before storage will ensure it’s in good working order and will start easily in the spring. It’s important to change the engine oil and clean or replace the filters regularly to maximise the engine’s lifetime. It’s also important to remove any grass from under the deck and around the blades to prevent corrosion over winter. This will ensure your mower lasts for many years to come. The blade also needs to be sharpened to give a neat cut once the grass begins to grow in spring.

What is a winter service?

A winter service will include the following:

  • Full engine service including oil change, filter change and new spark plugs.
  • Old fuel replaced with fresh Aspen fuel which will not go off over winter (stale fuel is the number one cause for a mower which will not start)
  • Blade removed, cleaned, sharpened and balanced
  • Inspection of all belts and cable, replaced if required
  • Test of all operator controls and safety features
  • Deck cleaned to prevent corrosion over winter
  • General inspection for any other faults
