  2. Four-stroke cycle small engines range from 2.4 HP to 31 HP.

  3. The basic parts of a walk-behind rotary lawn mower include an engine, handle, operator presence bail, wheels, mower deck, and blade.

  4. Walk-behind rotary lawn mowers are designed specifically for residential or commercial use.

  5. A speed control device is used by a lawn mower operator to select a comfortable mowing speed appropriate for the type of terrain.

  6. Zero-turn lawn mowers are designed to cut closely around obstacles, pivoting 180°, without leaving circles of uncut grass.

  7. Each rear wheel of a zero-turn lawn mower is connected to a hydrostatic transmission.

  8. Because of the ability to accept different attachments and implements, lawn and garden tractors are versatile enough to be used during any season.

  9. Pressure washers provide pressurized water for the purpose of cleaning surfaces.

  10. Wood chippers are used to chop and shred organic growth materials into small particles.

  11. Leaf blowers create high-speed blowing air to move light debris, such as grass clippings, leaves, and twigs, away from driveways, walkways, roofs, and lawns.

  12. String trimmers have a cutting head with a flexible monofilament line for cutting grass and other plants near objects.

  13. Snow throwers can be single-stage or two-stage. Two-stage snow throwers are designed to remove more snow than single-stage types.

  14. Portable generators are often used in residential applications to provide auxiliary electric power for critical loads, such as refrigerators and sump pumps, during utility power outages.

  15. Concrete mixers are portable or stationary devices with rotating drums or paddles used to mix concrete ingredients and are typically powered by four-stroke cycle engines.

  16. Most soil compactors are powered by four-stroke cycle engines and are used to improve the bearing capacity of soil by tamping or vibrating the soil.
