Mowing Procedures

This page provides essential instructions for maintaining the lawn using our available equipment. Follow these guidelines to ensure efficient and effective lawn care around the property.

• Mowers

  We have two mowers:

  1. Self-Propelled Mower: Ideal for larger areas with its easy maneuverability.

  2. Push Mower (White Model): Offers higher RPM and a more hands-on approach.

  Both mowers feature:

  • Baggers for collecting grass clippings.

  • Side discharge attachments for when collection isn't needed.

  • Mulching capabilities for finely chopping grass.

  Usage Tips:

  • Pool Area: Use the mulching option to avoid throwing clippings onto the pool deck.

  • Tennis Court Area: Bagging is unnecessary; use either discharge or mulching.

  Starting the Mowers

  • Self-Propelled Mower: Starts on the first or second pull without needing a choke.

  • Push Mower (White Model):

    • Has a choke on the left handle.

    • Pull the choke out before starting.

    • Push the choke back in once the engine starts to prevent stalling.

  Weed Eater

  • Location: Garage.

  • Fuel: Requires 50:1 mixed oil/gas. Bring your own mixed gas or trimmer if needed.

  • Starting Tip: It can be hard to start, but works well once running.

  Pool Area Coordination

  • Check with the pool manager to schedule the best mowing times once the pool is open to avoid disruptions.

  Reminder and Thanks

  There have been some questions about the trimmer and the mower that wouldn't run with the choke pulled out. This page serves as a reminder to address these common issues. Thank you to everyone who volunteers to mow and helps keep our grounds looking great.

  By following these instructions, you’ll ensure the lawn remains well-maintained and equipment operates smoothly.
