There are two types of gas powered mowers to choose from -- push and self propelled.
Both types have many features in common.
All have a safety-bail that stops the blade when released.
Cutting height can be adjusted by raising or lowering the deck height -- either with
dual adjustment handles, or a single lever.
Nearly all the gas mowers carried by Canadian Tire will mulch the grass trimmings. Specially
designed blades chop the grass into small pieces so the nutrients can be absorbed by
your lawn.
If you want to collect the clippings, most gas mowers will discharge them into a rear
mounted bag.
All gas mowers sold at Canadian Tire use 4-stroke engines that operate like a car engine. Just
gas up when needed and check the oil periodically.
They are easy to start, and some models offer key start electric ignition.
With a 4-stroke engine you get more consistent power with less pollution and better fuel
economy.
Engine size is measured in cc's, or cubic centimetres. Generally the larger the engine,
the more power you will have available.
For large lawns, choose a self-propelled gas mower. There are front or rear wheel drive
models to choose from.
Select a front wheel drive for better manoeuvrability if there are obstacles to mow around...
...and rear wheel drive for great traction on thick grass and hilly terrain.
Some models offer up to four forward speeds.
Canadian Tire has a full range of gas powered mowers with special features so that you can
find the mower that's just right for your lawn.
Some models feature easy-rolling steel sleeve bearing wheels.
Large rear wheels help you glide over rough terrain.
Padded or inset bails make mowing more comfortable.
Nearly all models can switch from side discharge to rear discharge and bagging without tools.
Some models feature Deck Wash capability. Attach a garden hose to the special fitting
and turn on the water while the mower runs for a short time. The spinning blade and water
cleans out the underside of the lawnmower deck.
All gas mowers require periodic maintenance such as blade sharpening and oil and air filter
replacement. Proper winterizing will keep your gas mower running efficiently for years.
For large lawns and lawns with hilly terrain, choose between a push or self-propelled gas
mower.
And for smaller lawns, choose a quiet, convenient cordless mower.
For all your lawn care needs, gas or electric, the choice is yours at Canadian Tire.
