The rear bag grass catcher is better than a side discharge catcher since it takes much less room and is much easier to navigate around landscaping and other obstructions normally found in urban areas.

Safety & Operation

All lawn mowers should be treated with respect. They are powerful machines and in the wrong hands can do a lot of damage. Start by reading the manual and following all of the safety guidelines outlined in the manual. Never work on the lawn mower without first ensuring that the engine is turned off.

While cutting the lawn and using the side discharge, never allow anyone to stand beside the discharge or point the discharge at something that could be damaged by high speed flying objects ejected from the lawn mower.

Always check the engine to make sure that there is sufficient oil in the engine before starting each day. Top up if necessary.  Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cool. A good time to do this is before you start cutting the lawn. Spilled fuel can sometimes cause fires. If you do spill any fuel, wait until it evaporates prior to starting the engine to avoid any chance of fire. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors.

Shut the engine off before removing the rear bag to empty it of grass or make any other kind of adjustments to the lawn mower.

Maintenance:

Maintenance of the lawn mower is pretty straight forward. Read the guidelines in the manual and follow them.  Arrange to have your engine tuned up once a year and the oil changed at the same time. This applies to most consumer applications where you are cutting your lawn once a week. If you are using the lawn mower for commercial applications you may need to change the oil more often.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also, keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean fresh gasoline for your lawn mower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure that your lawn mower will last for many years.

Delivery: Customers can purchase the Bolens Self Propelled lawn mower at Lowes in Canada for pickup or delivery. Delivery can be arranged, however, this will add to the cost of the lawnmower. Some customers will arrange for a van or small trailer if they cannot get the lawnmower into their cars.

Safety & Operation

Always read the operator’s manual prior to assembly and prior to starting the Bolens Self Propelled lawn mower for the first time. Take the time to understand all of the safety concerns and areas that you need to pay attention to while operating the Bolens Self Propelled lawnmower.

There are some basics to safety while operating the lawnmower. First, always complete an inspection of the lawnmower prior to starting each day. Look for loose parts and check the oil level and the fuel level. Top up the engine oil as required to ensure that the engine has sufficient oil at all times.

While you are operating the lawnmower, always ensure that no one is in the path of the side-discharge to avoid being hit by flying objects. Always shut the engine off prior to emptying the grass catcher for similar reasons. You do not want to be hit by moving objects thrown out by the lawnmower blades.

Adjust the lawnmower speed to a comfortable walking rate and the density of the grass that you are cutting. Use the 4-speed control to change speed on the fly if you encounter thicker harder to cut grass.

If you need to clear clumps of grass from under the lawnmower, always shut the engine off before doing any work under the lawnmower. We also recommend that you disconnect the spark plug wire so there is no danger of accidentally starting the engine while you are cleaning under the deck of the lawnmower.

Bolens Self Propelled Lawn Mower – Maintenance

The manual for the lawnmower will cover all required maintenance activities including the frequency of oil changes. Depending on the use you may need to change the oil once a month if you have lots of lawn to cut. On the other hand, a small lawn will not require oil changes nearly as often. At the minimum change the oil annually to extend the life of the engine and use of the lawnmower.

The blades should also be sharpened at least once per year to provide sharp blades that cut the grass and avoid tearing the blades. Most people are comfortable doing this work themselves. However, a small engine mechanic can complete these activities for you including changing the oil and changing the spark plug if needed.
