To start your Poulan Pro Deluxe Push PO500N22SH Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil is at the correct level. Press the primer bulb three times, pull the starter handle slowly until you feel resistance, then pull sharply.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Ensure that the fuel is fresh and clean, and avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
Sharpen the blades at least once a mowing season or more frequently if the grass appears torn after cutting, rather than cleanly sliced.
Check for fuel and oil levels, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and verify that the air filter is clean. If issues persist, consult the user manual or a professional technician.
To clean the mower deck, ensure the mower is off and cool. Tilt the mower carefully and use a brush or hose to remove grass clippings and debris from the underside.
At the end of the season, drain the fuel, change the oil, clean the mower deck, inspect the blades, and store the mower in a dry place.
To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, then turn it off. Remove the oil cap and tilt the mower to drain the oil into a suitable container. Refill with the recommended oil type and amount.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced blade or loose parts. Check the blade for damage and balance, and tighten any loose bolts or screws.
Ensure the blades are sharp, the deck is clean, and the mower is set to the appropriate cutting height for your lawn conditions. Regularly inspect and maintain the mower for optimal performance.
Uncut strips may indicate dull blades or uneven ground. Sharpen the blades and check the mowing surface for levelness. Adjust the cutting height if needed.
