Ensure that the mower is on a flat surface. Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position, set the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position, and pull the starter rope. Once the engine starts, move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 motor oil for optimal performance. Always check the oil level before each use and change it after every 25 hours of operation.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean, and examine the carburetor for any blockages.
Sharpen the mower blades after every 25 hours of use or at least twice during the mowing season. Dull blades can tear the grass, leading to an uneven cut.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all four are set to the same height for an even cut.
Turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a brush or cloth to remove grass clippings and debris from the deck and blade area. A garden hose can be used for thorough cleaning.
Excessive vibration may be caused by a damaged blade, loose bolts, or engine issues. Inspect the blade for damage, tighten all bolts, and check the engine mounting. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the drive cable is properly connected and adjust its tension if needed. Test the wheels for proper engagement.
Clean the mower thoroughly and drain the fuel tank. Change the oil and remove the spark plug. Store the mower in a dry, covered location to prevent rust and deterioration.
Ensure that the cutting height is set evenly on all wheels. Check the blade for sharpness and balance, and inspect the wheels for any damage or wear that might affect the mowing height.
