McCulloch M12597 Operator's Manual

To start the McCulloch M12597 lawn mower, ensure the mower is on a flat surface. Pull the safety lever towards the handlebar, then pull the starter rope firmly. Make sure the fuel tank is filled and any safety keys are in place.
The McCulloch M12597 lawn mower requires SAE 30 oil for optimal performance. Always check the manual for any specific brand recommendations or temperature adjustments.
It is recommended to sharpen the blades of your McCulloch M12597 lawn mower at the start of each mowing season or after approximately 25 hours of use.
If your McCulloch M12597 won't start, check the fuel level, spark plug condition, and ensure the air filter is clean. Also, make sure the safety lever is engaged and the starter rope is not damaged.
To clean the air filter on the McCulloch M12597, remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and wash it with warm soapy water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling.
Excessive vibration in the McCulloch M12597 might be due to unbalanced blades. Check for blade damage or debris buildup and ensure the blades are properly balanced and securely fastened.
To improve cutting performance, regularly sharpen the blades, maintain the correct mowing height, and mow when the grass is dry. Ensure the deck is clean and free from grass clippings.
At the end of the mowing season, drain the fuel tank, clean the mower thoroughly, sharpen or replace the blades, and check for any worn or damaged parts. Store in a dry, sheltered area.
To change the spark plug, disconnect the spark plug wire, remove the old spark plug with a socket wrench, and install a new one of the same type. Reattach the spark plug wire securely.
If your McCulloch M12597 cuts unevenly, check that the wheels are set to the same height and inspect the blades for sharpness and balance. Adjust as necessary to ensure a uniform cut.
