McCulloch M46–501 CD Spare Parts List

To start the McCulloch M46–501 CD Lawn Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Press the primer bulb 3-5 times, pull the throttle lever to the 'start' position, and then pull the starter cord briskly.
If the lawn mower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear and clean or replace it if necessary. Also, check the air filter for blockages and clean or replace it.
After use, disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a brush to remove grass clippings and debris from the deck and blades. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the mower is dry before storing it.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level before each use, replacing the oil every 25 hours of operation, inspecting and cleaning the air filter every 25 hours, and sharpening the blades at the start of each season.
To ensure optimal cutting performance, keep the blades sharp and balanced. Mow regularly, avoiding overly long grass, and adjust the cutting height to suit the grass type and season.
Excessive vibration could be caused by unbalanced blades, loose parts, or debris lodged in the mower deck. Check and tighten any loose components, clean the deck, and ensure the blades are properly balanced.
Before storing, run the engine until it stops to ensure the fuel system is empty. Clean the mower thoroughly, remove the battery if applicable, and store it in a dry, covered area.
Use SAE 30 oil for general operating temperatures. In cooler climates, SAE 10W-30 can be used to improve starting. Always check the manufacturer's manual for specific recommendations.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set at the same height for even mowing.
If the mower is not cutting evenly, check the blade for sharpness and balance. Inspect the wheels to ensure they are set at equal heights, and examine the deck for any debris that might obstruct the blade.
