On a champion mower, the blade and the engine are located at the high or mid level. Thus, the common push mower feature is that they are light and also easy to push.
Pushing a mower manually always ensures an enjoyable workout. Also, those who do not want to own an electric or gas mower will find this a wonderful option. With such features, the champion self-propelled mower is ideal for small and medium yards that do not require much of a lawn care task.
A self-propelled mower has a motor and wheels at which the motor engages the wheels. Thus, with this, self-propelled mowers are quite simple. One only has to change the speed, turn, and set the height. The motor engages the wheels with a simple shift of the transmission.
The S.P. champion lawn mower is convenient since one does not need to push the mower. This makes it good for large and slightly hilly areas.
The riding mowers come with a seat where the operator can comfortably sit and ride the mower, especially those designed for residential areas. Therefore, this makes riding lawn mowers great for covering large, even areas.
Utilizing the riding mower saves time and energy, especially over a push or self-propelled mowers, making it effective where very less space is required.
The rotary mowers use the rotating blades to provide a cutting action. Thus, the mowers are versatile and can be used whenever a fine or rough cut grass is required.
This mower category also includes reel and the other special-purpose mowers. The champion push mower deals with the rotary mechanism.
Homeowners use the champion mower for their own lawn care. These mowers give an exceptional cut, making it well applicable to keep lawns looking neat and well taken care of.
It is noted that push and self-propelled mowers are ideal for small residential areas, while riding mowers are suitable for larger flat areas.
Lawn care is a part of landscaping, but landscaping is a bit broader. It includes the design and installation of the lawn. For this reason, many landscapers use special landscaping mowers.
The champion mower may also be used for lawn installation and restoration, which may include sowing grass seeds or using sod.
Landscaping companies will also use the champion mower to keep their clients’ lawns in good shape. Therefore, landscaping and installation companies should have a diverse selection of champion mowers for their clients.
Companies that provide lawn care services to other companies and residential homes use championsmowers s. These companies need a range of mowers for the different areas they service.
GOLF courses require mowing to maintain a healthy golf course turf that looks good. For this reason, there are different types of champion mowers that can be used in all the above ways.
Just as with any major lawn care tool, it is important for course supervisors to have different mowers at their disposal so they can keep the greens and fairways cut properly.
Championsmowers may also be used by property managers to maintain the green areas of their properties. This can include hiring an outside service or doing the work internally with the maintenance crew.
Commercial properties such as office parks, retail centers, etc., may have a champion mower used to care for those areas.
Engine power
It is noteworthy that champion mowers are available with various engine options. Most of these engines are even fitted with advanced systems to enhance their performance. The engine power varies from one mower to another, depending on the size and design of the mower.
The engine size refers to the strength or power of the engine. The larger the engine size, the more powerful the engine is, and thus, power to cut through tougher grass types. However, this would mean that the mower would consume more gas.
An important feature embedded in the lawnmower's engine is the automatic start system. Most modern mowers come with a simple switch key starting system. This is a much easier feature than the pull cord start found on older mowers.
The blade width means the area the mower will cut in one pass. Champion mowers have various blade widths for differing lawns.
A wider blade equals the need for fewer passes over the lawn and quicker cutting time. However, larger blades are less suitable for smaller lawns because they can't easily maneuver around obstacles or edges.
The cutting height determines how closely the mower will cut the grass. champion mowers have multiple cutting height settings to allow the user to choose the desired grass length. This feature enables a customized cut based on the grass type and weather conditions.
Grass collection refers to whether the mower gathers the cut grass, allows it to disperse evenly, or even both. Some champion mowers have rear or side grass boxes that collect the grass clippings after cutting.
Others use the mulch plug that cuts the clippings into tiny pieces and returns them to the lawn as nutrients. There are also machines equipped with the Auto switch, which allows the user to select whether to collect, mulch, or discharge the clippings.
Maintenance and care tips
Like any mechanical device, a champion mower will need regular checkups to keep it in excellent working shape.
Cleaning the parts of the mower after each use will increase the mower's longevity. This is most important for the underside of the deck, as grass will pile up and cause the mower to rust over time.
Engine checks like oil change and spark plug check should be done regularly per the manufacturer's guidelines. This helps the engine stay effectively and efficiently powered.
The blades should also be sharpened at least once every season or every 10-20 uses in order to provide a neat and clean cut. If the blades are dull, they will shred the grass, leading to lawn diseases.
All movable parts such as wheels, belts, and cables must be checked frequently. Lubrication also helps them from cracking or breaking. Proper storage of the mower during winter or when not in use helps the mower from weather damage.
Gas-powered mowers must be stored in a ventilated space and not indoors. Electric mowers must be stored in a space where they won't get wet. Maintenance enables the mower to work excellently and last longer.
Clean the mower after each use
The inside of a champion push mower is designed with rotating blades that cut the grass. As this happens, grass clippings may stick on the blades or even underneath the mower deck.
Some clippings may also get stuck on the blades themselves. If these clippings are not removed, they will dry out, turn into a hard substance, and even rust the mower deck or blades.
This is why it is recommended to clean the mower after each use. The best way to clean the mower is to hose down the deck and blades with water.
Do not wash the tires, as detergent can weaken their quality. The tires may also develop cracks if they are excessively washed.
Towable mowers are equipped with a tow hitch. This feature enables chains, cables, and straps to be attached to the mower for easy movement.
There is also a tow ball mounted to the back of a machine with a pin-style attachment, shock-absorbing, and easy to remove. Tow straps are heavy-duty straps used in recovery situations. They can be attached to the mower and the vehicle for a secure pull.
Champion gas mowers need thorough washing fluid to thoroughly wash the mower. It is economical, and dual-action washing fluids are even available.
Push champion mowers can also come with a washer mounted on the blade to clean it easily after every use. For tougher grass clippings, a putty knife can be used to scrape them off.
Cleaning tools also have stains that can be removed from time to time using a grit pad. This pad is tough enough to remove the clippings and rust without damaging the blade or deck material.
Check the oil level and change the oil
The more the engine runs, the more oil it uses up, and the more it gets dirty. This is the reason why every champion mower should have its oil level checked before every use.
Oil may also need to be changed based on the manufacturer's recommendation. The toll of oil changes depends on how much the mower is used. For instance, seasonal gasoline models only require oil change once per year or per 50 uses.
Machines utilizing four-stroke engines will require oil changes after 25 hours of use. Hybrid gas-electric mowers with a smaller engine will require oil change after 30 hours of use.
How to properly change the oil includes running the mower for a few minutes to allow the oil mix in and drain. A putty knife can be used to get any leftover clippings off the blades.
Then place a large container or bucket underneath the engine on the side with the oil pour to catch the old oil. Then remove the oil cap and let the old oil drain completely.
After that, use a paper towel to check the dipstick to see if there is any left oil. After it is fully drained, pour in new oil using the right kind. Don't forget to replace and secure the oil cap.
Sharpen the blades
When the blades become dull, the grass will have a hard time cutting through, causing the grass to shred. Shredded grass weakens the grass and makes it look unattractive.
For this reason, it is important to sharpen the blades regularly. The frequency depends on how challenging the mowing task is.
Blades should be sharpened at least during the off-season and at least 10-20 times during the mowing season. To determine if it's time to sharpen the blades or not, perform the paper test. Grab a piece of paper and see if the blade can cut through it cleanly.
If it cuts through with minimal effort, then the blade is sharp. Sharpening lawnmower blades is dangerous and should be done carefully. An even better option is to buy a power attachment that attaches to the wheels for mowing tasks.
Reel mowers have a special reel sharpened tool that can be used on reel mowers. This tool slides over the rods of the reel designed to slide each blade past a special shaped hone to sharpen a professional edge onto each blade.
Check the spark plug
The spark plug is a vital part of gas engine operation. It produces a harmless electric discharge to ignite the mixture of air and gas in the combustion chamber.
However, like other parts of the mower, it needs inspection during maintenance. If the spark plug is dirty, it won't be able to ignite as it should. This may cause the engine as a whole not to work well.
Or if the plug is worn out or damaged, the engine might not start at all, or it might backfire. Champions recommend checking the spark plug at least 1-2 times a year and replacing it if necessary.
Sometimes, the wire may need to be replaced as well. This is necessary when it has burn spots on it, or the plastic is worn out. Only use genuine parts that are specifically designed for the mower.
The warranty typically includes manufacturing defects but will not cover damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance.
However, it is important to check the specific warranty terms and conditions for the champion mower to understand what is covered and for how long. This is because warranty details may vary depending on the model and the seller.
Champions offer a wide range of propulsion, from electric to gasoline. Gasoline mowers provide more range and intensity. This makes them suitable for larger tasks. Advanced champions also come with electric motors.
Electric mowers are quieter and less polluting. They are also better for light to medium tasks and smaller areas. In short, the type of mower a champion provides depends on the customer's preferences, task sizes, and spaces.
Routine practices like scrubbing, oil changes, and sharpening blades must be done. More so, gas mowers usually last up to 10-15 years. This varies with the model and how the machine is treated. Electric models last around 5 years.
Most of the time, champions allow returns from its mowers within certain policies. Such policies require the mower to be in its original state with all accessories and paperwork.
They come with various types, including push mowers. Each type of mower has different features like self-propelling, riding, and rotary. These features help to meet specific needs. This allows users to have more options for choosing the right mower for themselves.
