Perform Regular Inspections
Remember to inspect your brush cutter before each use. Make sure the starter rope is working properly, and inspect the fuel tank for leaks. Check the nuts and bolts, tighten them as needed, and check the stone guard for wear and tear. Finally, make sure the disc or blade is sharp before starting your brush cutter.
Maintain the Engine
If your brush cutter has a gas engine, you will need to change the oil and filters regularly, and clean and replace the spark plug as needed. Check the user manual provided with your brush cutter for model-specific instructions on how to maintain the engine.
Keep It Clean
Cleaning your brush cutter is an important maintenance task. Check the user manual for instructions on how to properly clean your brush cutter, and use the cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer. For most brush cutters, you can simply wipe down the exterior using a soft cloth and clean debris out of the vents using compressed air.
Store It Properly
Always store your brush cutter in a dry, enclosed area, such as a garage or garden shed. Before storing your brush cutter for the winter, clean it thoroughly, grease the metal components, and drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer. Taking these steps will ensure your brush cutter is ready for action when spring comes back around.
