Servicing Done Right !
At this time of the year getting your lawnmower, ride-on-tractor or any other garden machinery ready for storage is as important as keeping it maintained through the spring and summer months.
At Toolbox Omagh when we service a lawnmower or ride-on-mower, we will look at a whole host of things. Our full service on a lawnmower (Ride-On / Walk-Behind) for example includes:
1. Removing all covers and guards.
2. Cleaning the machine to remove any grass build up and oil residues.
3. Removing and strip the carburettor and clean it thoroughly.
4. Flush the fuel tank to remove stale fuel and contamination.
5. Replace the pull starter cord if required and re-wind the return spring and lubricate all moving parts.
6. Check the air gap on the ignition coil and fit a new spark plug.
7. Replace the air filter if needed.
9. Sharpen and balance the blade.
10. Check drive belt and cables and make any necessary adjustments.
11. Lubricate height adjuster mechanism and all control levers and cables.
12. Tighten the engine mounting and handle bar bolts as required.
13. Run and test all machine functions.
14. Check the running speed and tune the carburettor.
