To start the McCulloch M13538 Lawn Mower, ensure it has sufficient fuel and oil. Engage the parking brake, pull the choke lever to the 'start' position, and turn the ignition key to start the engine. Once started, push the choke lever back to the 'run' position.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content as it may damage the engine.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation and then every 50 hours or at the beginning of each mowing season. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions.
Perform regular maintenance including checking and changing the oil, replacing the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and cleaning the mower deck after every use. Refer to the manual for a detailed schedule.
Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starts. Tilt the mower to access the blade. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolt, replace the old blade with a new one, and tighten the bolt securely. Ensure the blade is installed correctly to avoid imbalance.
Check if there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open. Verify the spark plug connection and condition. Ensure the choke is in the correct position for starting. If the problem persists, consult the manual or seek professional help.
After each use, disconnect the spark plug wire and tilt the mower for easy access. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris. For stubborn buildup, use a scraper or brush. Ensure the deck is dry before storing the mower.
It is not recommended to mow wet grass as it can clog the mower deck, cause uneven cuts, and potentially damage the engine. Wait until the grass is dry for optimal performance.
Locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired setting, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Wear appropriate safety gear including gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear. Clear the lawn of debris before mowing. Keep children and pets away from the mowing area. Always turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.
