To start the McCulloch M46–135CMD Lawn Mower, ensure that the fuel tank is filled, the oil level is adequate, and the spark plug is connected. Then, press the primer bulb a few times, pull the throttle lever to the 'start' position, and pull the starter cord briskly.
Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), use SAE 5W-30. Regularly check and change the oil after every 25 hours of operation.
Sharpen the blades at least once a season or after every 25 hours of use. Dull blades can tear the grass rather than cut it cleanly, leading to a ragged lawn appearance.
After use, allow the engine to cool. Disconnect the spark plug for safety. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris from the underside. Avoid spraying water directly on the engine. Wipe the mower down with a clean cloth.
Ensure that the mower blades are sharp, the deck is clean, and the mower is set to the correct cutting height for your grass type. Regular maintenance of the engine and cleaning of the air filter can also enhance performance.
Check if there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel is not stale. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and replace if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean. If the mower still doesn't start, consider checking the carburetor or contacting a service professional.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all four wheels are set at the same height for an even cut.
Always wear protective eyewear and sturdy shoes. Clear the lawn of debris before mowing. Do not mow wet grass to avoid slipping. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts and never leave the mower unattended while running.
Clean the mower thoroughly and drain the fuel tank. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder, then pull the starter cord to distribute the oil. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered area.
Check for any clogs in the mower deck and ensure the blade is not bent or damaged. Make sure the blade is balanced and securely tightened. If vibrations persist, consult a professional technician.
