To start the McCulloch M46-140WR lawn mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Engage the parking brake, set the throttle to the choke position if the engine is cold, pull the starter rope firmly until the engine starts, and then adjust the throttle to the desired speed.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than E10 to prevent engine damage.
If the McCulloch M46-140WR doesn't start, check if there is fuel in the tank, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify the ignition switch is working properly.
The recommended oil type for the McCulloch M46-140WR is SAE 30 for general use or SAE 10W-30 for varying temperature ranges.
To clean the cutting deck, first turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug. Use a garden hose to wash away grass clippings and debris. Scrape off any stubborn residue with a plastic scraper.
Sharpen the blades of the McCulloch M46-140WR at least once per mowing season or more frequently if the mower is used extensively. Dull blades can tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly.
Excessive vibration can be caused by imbalanced or damaged blades, loose bolts, or debris lodged in the mower. Inspect and tighten all bolts, check the blades for damage, and remove any debris.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the wheel assemblies. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the cutting height. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
At the start of the mowing season, perform a thorough inspection and maintenance of the mower. Change the oil, clean or replace the air filter, inspect the spark plug, sharpen the blades, and ensure all nuts and bolts are tight.
For winter storage, clean the mower thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, remove the battery if applicable, and store the mower in a dry, covered location to prevent rust and deterioration.
