Gas Powered Mowers

 

Gasoline  mowers are a very good choice for larger yards but no bigger than 1/2 acre. A gas mower is away more powerful than an electric  mower plus you should not worry about battery running out or running over the power cord ( very dangerous )
Gas powered lawn mower can be chosen with a pull cord start or an electric starter avoiding pulling the cord.
Make sure you get right fuel for your Lawn mower machine.

What type of fuel should you use ?

Pump Gasoline and Ethanol

Know Your Fuel Logo.

If you purchase gasoline at the pump, check the labels to make sure it meets the requirements for your machine. Don’t buy more than you can use in 30 days. Pump gasoline that’s over 30 days old can lead to corrosion in outdoor power equipment engines. Ethanol in pump gasoline can be another concern. It burns hotter and can wear out small engines more quickly. Know the level of ethanol your equipment can safely use. High levels can damage a small engine, resulting in machinery that won’t start. While you can find ethanol-free pump gasoline, most contains up to 10% ethanol.

Fuel Options

Fuel Stablizer and Pre-Mixed Fuel.

 

Fuel stabilizer helps protect outdoor power equipment engines. You can find stabilizers designed to prevent the formation of corrosion, gum and varnish and to treat fuel for storage. There are also stabilizers designed to treat ethanol fuel blends.

Ethanol-free power equipment fuel is available for 4-cycle and 2-cycle engines. It stays fresh, doesn’t degrade like pump gasoline and provides dependable starts. Pre-mixed fuel for 2-cycle engines also saves time. It’s available in different gasoline-to-oil ratios so you don’t need to measure and mix the fuel yourself.

How big is your garden?

 The average lawn size in America for example is about  1/5  of an acre.

An acre = 43.560 Square feet

  OR       =   4.046  Square meters

Storing Outdoor Power Equipment   

 
 

If you don’t use a machine frequently or if you’re preparing it for storage in the off season, you need to protect the engine. Remove the fuel by draining it into an approved container or running the engine until the fuel system is dry. Keeping the tank and fuel system full of gasoline treated with a fuel stabilizer is an alternative for some models — just follow the instructions in your manual.

 

Caution  

 

Fuel requirements and engine maintenance may vary from machine to machine. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use, maintenance, fueling, safety and storage for your specific model.

Tips on how to use Extension Cords Safely and Effectively

Exercise caution when using an extension cord. If your power tool draws more current than your cord can handle, you could start a fire. Before using your power cord, consider the following:
Match your cord to the work environment, whether indoor or outdoor. Outdoor-rated cords have durable covers to protect from weather and damage.
Make sure the number of prongs (two or three) fit the outlet you’ll be using.
Get a cord that meets the amperage requirements of the tool you’re using. Read the owner’s manual for assistance.
Keep the cord’s gauge in mind for maximum output. The lower the gauge number, the more power the cord delivers.
Remember that more isn’t better with cord length. The longer the cord, the less power is delivered to the item you’re powering. Keep both gauge and length in mind when selecting a power cord.
