Avoid Breakdowns: Signs To Look Out For

Don’t wait for a breakdown. If your lawn mower is showing any of the following issues, it’s probably time to schedule service:

• My mower isn't starting very well: Trouble starting your mower could mean a dirty spark plug, fuel system issues, or other internal wear. 

• My mower is cutting the grass uneven: If your lawn looks patchy or scalped after mowing, your blades may be dull, bent, or out of balance. 

• My mower is making strange noises or there's smoke: Strange sounds or visible smoke from the engine are clear signs your mower needs immediate attention.

• My mower is using more fuel than normal: Decreased fuel efficiency can signal clogged filters, worn-out belts, or a failing engine.

Why You Should Schedule a Lawn Mower Service

Preventive maintenance helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly mower repairs later in the season. It also ensures your equipment is ready to perform when you need it most, especially during peak mowing months. By scheduling service ahead of time, you stay in control of your maintenance schedule instead of reacting to surprise issues that could take your mower out of commission for days or even weeks.

Koenig Equipment’s Preventative Maintenance Service includes more than just a quick check. Our expert technicians provide:

• Blade sharpening or replacement to ensure a clean, even cut

• Oil and filter changes to protect your engine

• Spark plug and fuel system inspections for reliable starts

• Deck and drive system checks for smooth operation

• Cleaning and lubrication of key components to reduce wear and tear

Whether your lawn mower has seen heavy use or it's coming out of storage, seasonal service helps extend its life and maintain peak performance.
