If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, examine the air filter for clogs, and verify the engine oil level. Replace any faulty parts if necessary.

How can I adjust the cutting height on my TimeMaster mower?

To adjust the cutting height on the TimeMaster, use the height adjustment levers located on each wheel. Raise or lower the levers to set your desired cutting height.

Regular maintenance includes changing the oil every 50 hours or annually, cleaning or replacing the air filter every 25 hours, sharpening the blade as needed, and checking the spark plug annually.
