To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Move the lever to your desired height position, ensuring that both sides are set equally for an even cut.
If the mower does not start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected properly, and verify the battery charge. Also, inspect the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it if necessary.
Blades should be sharpened after every 20-25 hours of mowing to maintain optimal cutting performance. Dull blades can tear the grass, leading to uneven cuts and a ragged lawn.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for general use. In temperatures below 32°F (0°C), you may use SAE 5W-30 for easier starting. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
Maintain the engine by regularly changing the oil and air filter, keeping the blades sharp, and ensuring the tires are properly inflated. Avoid mowing at full throttle unless necessary and reduce idling time.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, debris lodged in the mower deck, or loose parts. Check for and clear any obstructions, tighten loose bolts, and inspect the blades for damage or imbalance.
After each use, clean the deck by scraping off grass clippings and debris. You can also use a hose to wash off the underside, ensuring the mower is turned off and stable. Dry the deck to prevent rusting.
The recommended tire pressure is typically between 10-15 PSI for the rear tires and 12-20 PSI for the front tires. Refer to the mower’s manual for exact specifications.
Uneven cutting can result from dull blades, improper deck leveling, or incorrect tire pressure. Ensure the blades are sharp, the deck is adjusted evenly, and the tire pressure is correct on all four wheels.
A regular maintenance schedule includes changing the oil every 25 operating hours, cleaning or replacing the air filter and spark plug annually, and inspecting the blades, belts, and tires frequently. Check your manual for detailed guidance.
