To start the McCulloch M46–140R lawn mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Set the throttle to the 'fast' position, engage the choke, and pull the starter cord firmly. Release the choke gradually as the engine warms up.
If the mower does not start, check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, and clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean and the throttle is set correctly.
Sharpen the mower blades at least once per mowing season or after every 25 hours of use. Dull blades can tear grass rather than cut it cleanly, affecting lawn health.
Use SAE 30 oil for the McCulloch M46–140R in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For colder climates, SAE 5W-30 oil is recommended to ensure proper engine lubrication.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel. Raise or lower the lever to set the desired cutting height. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Regularly inspect the rear roller for debris accumulation or damage. Clean it after each use and ensure it rotates freely. Lubricate the roller bearings annually or as needed to maintain smooth operation.
After use, turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug for safety. Use a brush or compressed air to remove grass clippings from the deck and other parts. Avoid using a hose to prevent water entry into the engine.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Check and balance the blades, ensuring they are tightly secured. Inspect the deck and engine mounts for any loose parts.
For storage, empty the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly, lubricate moving parts, and check for any repairs needed. Store in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and damage.
If grass is not collected efficiently, check if the grass box is correctly attached and not overfilled. Ensure the blades are sharp and the chute is not clogged. Adjust the mowing speed to optimize collection.
