Tune-Up Tips

* Clean or

replace the lawn mower air filter every three months or after 25 hours

of use.

* Keep the

engine tuned, which can add years to a mower and help reduce its emissions

up to 50 percent.

* Change the

engine oil after 20-25 hours of use and recycle the old oil according

to community guidelines.

* Keep the

mower blade sharp, the underside of the deck clean and engine-running

time to a minimum.

Other Ozone-Reducing

Hints

* Mulch or

compost grass clippings, rather than sending them to a landfill.

* Plant more

grass and trees to absorb carbon dioxide.

* Mow later

in the day when the temperature is lower.
