To start the mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline. Check the oil level and ensure it's adequate. Pull the safety lever towards the handle and pull the starter rope briskly.
It is recommended to use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Verify the spark plug is clean and connected properly. Make sure the air filter is clean, and check the oil level.
Disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Tip the mower to its side with the air filter facing up. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris from the underside of the deck.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, cleaning the deck, and sharpening the blade.
Remove the spark plug wire for safety. Tilt the mower and remove the blade. Use a grinder or file to sharpen the cutting edges evenly. Reinstall the blade securely.
Excessive vibration could be due to a damaged or unbalanced blade. Inspect the blade for damage and sharpen or replace it as necessary. Also, check for loose bolts or parts.
Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops. Change the oil, clean the deck, and check the air filter and spark plug. Store the mower in a dry place.
Check if the blade is dull or damaged. Ensure the wheels are adjusted to the same height. Verify the deck is not clogged with grass clippings.
