To start the McCulloch M46-501 CMDW Lawn Mower, first ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Then, press the primer bulb 3-5 times, engage the safety lever, and pull the starter cord briskly.
The McCulloch M46-501 CMDW Lawn Mower requires SAE 30 oil for optimal performance in warmer temperatures. For cooler climates, refer to the manual for the appropriate oil type.
It is recommended to sharpen the mower blades at least once every season or after 25 hours of use to ensure a clean cut and maintain lawn health.
If your mower won't start despite having fuel, check the spark plug for dirt or damage, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify that the fuel is fresh. These are common issues that may prevent starting.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position to raise or lower the mower deck to the preferred cutting height.
Excessive vibration could be caused by unbalanced blades, debris buildup, or loose components. Inspect the blades for damage, clean any debris, and tighten all screws and bolts.
After mowing, turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug. Use a hose to rinse the underside of the mower deck and scrape off any grass clippings or debris. Dry the mower thoroughly to prevent rust.
Perform a pre-season checkup, change the oil every 25 hours of operation, clean or replace the air filter annually, and inspect the spark plug and blade condition regularly.
When storing the mower for the off-season, drain the fuel tank, change the oil, clean the mower thoroughly, and store it in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and corrosion.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance is performed, keep the air filter clean, use fresh fuel, and avoid mowing very tall grass in one go to reduce engine strain.
