# Mowing Procedures

* #### 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.choteaulions.club/committee-procedures/committee-procedures/pool-committee/mowing-procedures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
