How to maintain your garden equipment?
15.11.2022
Winter is coming ... This period of inactivity is a good time to maintain all your power equipment: from chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, snowblowers, thermal tractor mowers to ride-on mowers. Annual maintenance includes changing filters (air, fuel, oil and hydraulic). Nevertheless, checking your machines' filters throughout the year is essential to optimise their performance.
Small materials
Equipped with a 2-stroke engine, small equipment (chainsaw, brushcutter, hedge trimmer, snowblower, etc.) dedicated to the maintenance of green spaces contain an air filter. Some are also equipped with a fuel filter. Each of these filters must be maintained regularly.
Lawnmowers, lawn tractors, power tillers...
Ride-on mowers, tractor-mounted thermal mowers and tillers are equipped with a 4-stroke engine. They therefore have an independent oil tank. In addition to air and fuel filters, these machines may also contain an oil filter and a hydraulic filter.
