Ensure the mower is on a flat surface, check the oil and fuel levels, then hold the safety bar and pull the starter rope firmly.
Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. Sharpen the blade at least once a season or after 25 hours of use, and replace it if it is damaged.
Check the fuel level and quality, ensure the air filter is clean, inspect the spark plug, and verify the safety bar is engaged properly.
Ensure the cutting blade is sharp and balanced, adjust the wheel height, and clear any debris from the underside of the deck.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced blade, loose engine mounting bolts, or debris stuck under the deck. Inspect and rectify these issues.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and if it's a foam filter, wash it with soap and water, then let it dry. Replace if it’s a paper filter.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher, and ensure it contains no more than 10% ethanol.
Ensure the blade is sharp, mow at a higher setting to avoid overloading the deck, and mow when the grass is dry.
