To start the Craftsman CMEMW213 mower, ensure that the battery is fully charged. Insert the safety key, press and hold the start button, then pull the bail lever towards the handlebar.
If the mower doesn't start, check the battery charge, ensure the safety key is inserted, and verify that the bail lever is fully engaged. If issues persist, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting.
Sharpen the mower blades at least once per mowing season or more frequently if the grass appears uneven after cutting. Regular sharpening ensures optimal performance.
Regular maintenance includes charging the battery after each use, cleaning the mower deck, inspecting the blades, and checking for loose bolts. Conduct a more thorough inspection at the start of each mowing season.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
If the mower is not cutting evenly, check the blade for dullness or damage, ensure the cutting height is consistent for all wheels, and verify the mower deck is not clogged with debris.
It is not recommended to use the mower on wet grass as it can lead to uneven cutting, clogging of the deck, and potential damage to the mower. Wait until the grass is dry for best results.
During the off-season, clean the mower thoroughly, charge the battery completely, and store it in a dry, cool place. Remove the battery and store it separately if possible.
The Craftsman CMEMW213 uses a 20V MAX lithium-ion battery. Ensure to use only Craftsman-approved batteries and chargers for safe operation.
To improve battery life, avoid storing the battery in extreme temperatures, charge it fully before use, and avoid completely draining it before recharging. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for battery care.
