Human: How do I properly mow a lawn? Assistant: 
The first step to properly mowing a lawn is to make sure your mower is in good condition. Check the blade for wear and sharpness, and make sure the engine is properly tuned. Once your mower is prepared, you can begin mowing by walking in a pattern to ensure even coverage. Start by mowing across the longest straight section of the lawn, and then make several passes in a back and forth pattern until the entire lawn is mowed. Remember to mow at a low speed and always mow in the same direction. Make sure to empty the grass collection bag or rake any cuttings that accumulate. Finally, make sure to water the lawn after mowing for best results.
