To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel of the mower. Move the lever to the desired position to achieve the preferred cutting height. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
First, check that the fuel tank has enough gasoline and that the fuel is fresh. Ensure the air filter is clean and the spark plug is properly connected. If the mower still won't start, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps or contact a service professional.
For optimal performance, sharpen the mower blades at least once a mowing season or after approximately 20-25 hours of use. Regular sharpening ensures a clean cut and promotes lawn health.
Perform regular maintenance every 25 hours of operation or once a season. This includes changing the engine oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, checking the spark plug, and inspecting the mower blades. Follow the user manual for detailed maintenance instructions.
Ensure that the tire pressure is consistent and correct for optimal traction. Adjust the mower's speed to match the terrain and consider using a higher cutting height setting to prevent scalping.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10% as they can damage the engine.
After ensuring the mower is off and cool, tilt it to the side and use a hose to wash away grass clippings and debris. For stubborn build-up, use a plastic scraper. Always wear gloves and ensure the spark plug is disconnected before cleaning.
Uncut strips may result from dull blades, incorrect cutting height, or mowing too quickly. Ensure blades are sharp, adjust the cutting height, and mow at a slower pace to achieve a clean cut.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and sturdy shoes. Clear the mowing area of debris and ensure bystanders are at a safe distance. Never refuel the mower while the engine is hot or running.
To winterize, drain the fuel system or add fuel stabilizer, clean the mower thoroughly, and remove the battery if applicable. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered location. Consult the user manual for detailed winterization procedures.
