How to prevent grass buildup on your walk-behind lawn mower
Grass that builds up on the underside of your walk-behind lawn mower deck disrupts airflow needed to lift the grass for a clean, even cut. It also can lead to rust and corrosion of the mower deck. This video gives 3 tips on how to prevent the grass from clumping under your mower deck.
For more DIY help, including troubleshooting videos and step-by-step repair guides, check out our walk-behind mower repair help’ section. In addition, find the lawn mower parts you need to fix your mower.
The following tips can help avoid grass buildup under a lawn mower deck. Caked-on clippings disrupt the airflow and encourage rust and corrosion.
Use a spray lubricant
MO-DECK keeps grass from sticking and prevents rust.
Mow only when it's dry
Grass is sticky when wet.
Keep clippings short
Cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height. Shorter clippings blow away easier—and a trim is less of a shock for the grass than a crewcut.
