What are some basic electric mower maintenance tips?
Unplug your electric mower, or remove the safety key, before attempting to do any kind of maintenance. Use a putty knife to remove grass and debris from the underside of your mower. Check your blades, ensuring that they are on tight and sharp and wipe your mower clean with a damp cloth. If you have a cordless mower, the battery should not be exposed to extreme temperatures. What should I do with my old gas-powered mower once I replace it with a more eco-friendly mower? The best thing you can do is to take your old gas mower to a recycling center that accepts mowers. You can also donate it or give it away, but this kind of defeats the purpose of reducing carbon emissions, if that is your goal. You could take the engine out for recycling and make a funky planter out of the mower body. It’ll make a statement and is more attractive than the toilet planter.
