To start the McCulloch M46-125 R Lawn Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, and the oil level is adequate. Pull the choke lever to the on position if the engine is cold. Firmly hold the handle and pull the starter rope briskly until the engine starts. Release the choke gradually as the engine warms up.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season. Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Make sure the air filter is clean. If the mower still doesn't start, the carburetor may need cleaning or the fuel may be stale and needs replacing.
Ensure the engine is off and cool. Use a garden hose to wash the underside of the mower deck to remove grass clippings and debris. Avoid spraying water directly onto the engine to prevent damage. Dry the mower with a cloth after cleaning.
Disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Tilt the mower to access the blade. Use a wrench to remove the blade. Secure the blade in a vice and use a file or grinder to sharpen the cutting edge. Reinstall the blade and ensure it is balanced.
Check for any debris stuck in the blade or under the deck. Inspect the blade for damage or imbalance. Tighten any loose bolts or screws. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever near each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position to adjust the cutting height. Ensure all levers are set to the same level to maintain an even cut.
The McCulloch M46-125 R Lawn Mower typically uses a Champion RC12YC spark plug. Always refer to the owner's manual for confirmation and proper gap settings.
Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor. Clean the mower thoroughly and inspect for any maintenance needs. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered area. Cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
