Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Ensure there is fuel in the tank and oil is at the correct level. Check that the Auto Choke is set correctly. Verify spark plug is connected and clean. Ensure the primer bulb has been pressed if applicable.
Engine runs but blade doesn't spin
The blade brake cable may not be engaged properly. Check for obstructions around the blade. The blade may be damaged or loose.
Poor cutting performance or uneven cut
Check that the cutting height is set correctly. Ensure the blade is sharp and securely fitted. Clean the underside of the mower deck; grass buildup can impede cutting action. Do not mow wet grass.
Self-propelled system not engaging
Ensure the drive lever is engaged correctly. Check the drive belt for tension and damage. Clean any debris from the drive mechanism.
Grass collector not filling efficiently
Check that the grass collector is correctly fitted and not overfilled. Ensure the discharge chute is clear of blockages. Try adjusting the cutting height or cutting frequency.
