Spring and summer are the seasons for mowing grass and mowing tall grass. However, this is of little concern to drivers, but in vain. Grass clippings can cause a lot of trouble for the unfortunate helmsman. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells where exactly to fear.
A typical situation: the driver parked the car in the parking lot according to all the rules, and early in the morning the utilities came and started mowing the grass on the lawn next to the parking lot. Looks like it’s okay, but for “state-owned” lawnmowers, they usually remove the grass catcher. It’s simple: too lazy to go somewhere several times and clean the bag of grass clippings. But in the grass there may be small branches or cones. All of this flies out from under the mower’s blade at a decent speed, bombarding the side of the car next to it. There will be no dents from this, but scratches can easily be planted. And when it rains, the grass also sticks to the side and discs. If the bodywork has been previously washed, the whole procedure will have to be started again.
It is much worse if, after cutting tall grass, the driver tries to drive through a field or country road that is strewn with the same grass. Tall stems dig into the attachments of the exhaust pipes, hang in large pieces from the exhaust and resonator. The grass is also hidden under the protection of the engine, gearbox or gearbox. Over time, all this dries up and can catch fire. This happens when the driver accelerates frantically in an attempt to overcome a long climb, for example. The exhaust system heats up, adding its own and summer heat. This is where the risk of fire comes in.
And if there is too much grass under the body, then over time it can lead to the appearance of foci of corrosion. After all, all this is moistened with water and the process of decay begins. Here, SUVs with a domestic frame are in the highest risk zone. Frames on new UAZs are often already rusty, and when grass gets into the technological gaps, the process speeds up.
Finally, do not park the car where it was mowed. A catalytic converter hot from a long way can ignite the grass. Here you should pay attention to the crossover Nissan Murano. The exhaust system is very low. The owners complain that even in the city they often just tear off the exhaust with the “meat”. What can we say about the primer or a tour of the field.
