To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring both sides are set equally to maintain an even cut.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Confirm that the battery is charged and connections are clean. Ensure the safety switch is engaged properly.
It is recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours or at the start of each mowing season. Refer to the manual for specific oil type and capacity.
First, disconnect the spark plug and remove the blades carefully. Use a grinder or a file to sharpen each blade evenly, ensuring you maintain the original angle. Balance the blades before reinstalling them.
After each use, safely lift the mower and use a hose to spray off grass clippings and debris. For thorough cleaning, disconnect the spark plug, remove the blades, and scrape off any built-up grass.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Inspect the blades and replace if necessary. Additionally, check for loose or damaged parts on the mower deck.
Regular maintenance, such as keeping the air filter clean and using fresh fuel, can improve efficiency. Sharpening blades and operating at optimal speed settings also contribute to better fuel economy.
For optimal performance, maintain the front tires at 14 PSI and the rear tires at 10 PSI. Always use a reliable gauge to check the pressure.
To winterize, run the engine until the fuel tank is empty. Change the oil, remove and clean the spark plug, and store the mower in a dry, covered location. Consider removing the battery and storing it separately.
Stop the mower immediately and let it cool down. Check for any blockages in the cooling fins and ensure the air intake is clear. Inspect the oil level and top up if necessary.
