Perform regular maintenance including changing the oil every 25 hours of use, cleaning or replacing the air filter every 25 hours, and sharpening the blade as needed.

How do I troubleshoot if the mower doesn't start?

How can I adjust the cutting height on the mower?

To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for even cutting.
