Q: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

Q: What are some simple lawn mower problems I can fix on my own?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for minor issues like replacing spark plugs, but professional repairs ensure proper diagnostics and longevity.</p></div>

Q: Why is my lawn mower smoking?

• <div><p>Sometimes dark smoke trailing out of your lawn mower is the result of excess oil. It smokes as it burns off. Other times, it could signal a problem with the combustion or contaminated fuel. If changing the fuel and cleaning your mower doesn&rsquo;t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).</p></div>

Q: Do services include blade sharpening?

• <div><p>Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.</p></div>
