It works in much the same way Rubber tracks series as any gas or battery powered lawn mower. The difference is that the lawnmower pushes forward on its own, instead of the operator (you) pushing it from behind.As with most gas-powered lawn mowers, hold down the handlebar and pull the power cord. Then pull the drive lever up to engage the drive system. For battery-powered motors, press the start button and pull the handle to start moving forward.

The drive system is similar to the drive system in a car: once you engage the drive rod, the drive system engages the wheels and the lawn mower propels forward on its own. If you need to stop the lawn mower immediately, release the two handles and the lawn mower and drive system will stop.Like cars, self-propelled lawn mowers also have all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive. This is a breakdown of each. The all-wheel drive lawn mower does not require a lot of guidance to get it headed in the right direction.

All-wheel drive lawn mowers (aka four-wheel drive lawn mowers) have excellent traction and balance on all four wheels.When you need a different drive system, the easy-to-use handlebar switches between three drive types to get the best traction on hills and most terrain. AWD may be more expensive than other drive types and is the rarest of the three. FWD is generally cheaper than the other two types of drive systems and is ideal for flat lawns. The reasons are as follows: uneven grass will cause the front wheels to bounce.

When this happens, you will lose propulsion.This is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that you will have to do more manual labor. When the front wheel leaves the lawn (high grass, slope, or turning), you must provide the driving force yourself.
