Product Information

Full details

The Mac Allister 1700W 38cm Corded Lawnmower is designed for homeowners with medium-sized lawns seeking efficient and reliable grass cutting. Its key benefit is a powerful 1700W motor combined with a convenient 38cm cutting width for quicker mowing.

FAQs

What type of extension cord should I use?

You should use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is in good condition. The gauge and length of the cord should be appropriate for the power requirements of the 1700W motor and the distance to your power outlet.

How often should I clean the lawnmower?

It is recommended to clean the grass collection bag after each use. The deck and body should be brushed free of debris after each use, with a more thorough wipe-down as needed. Always ensure the mower is unplugged before cleaning.

Can this lawnmower be used on wet grass?

It is generally best to avoid mowing wet grass, as it can lead to clumping, uneven cutting, and increased strain on the mower. Wait for the grass to dry completely for optimal performance and safety.

How does the Verti-Store system work?

The Verti-Store system allows you to store the lawnmower vertically. After unplugging, tilt the mower back onto its handle and then pivot it upwards until it stands upright on its rear, significantly reducing its footprint.

What is the warranty period for this lawnmower?

Please refer to the product packaging or the separate user manual for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and retailer.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

Cutting height is adjusted via a lever or knob mechanism, typically located on the side of the mower deck. Consult your user manual for the exact location and operation of the height adjustment system.

Troubleshooting

Lawnmower does not start.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the extension cord and the wall outlet. Check if the extension cord is functional by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the safety switch or button is fully engaged before attempting to start.

Poor cutting performance or uneven cut.

Check the cutting height setting and adjust if necessary. Ensure the grass collection bag is not overfilled, as this can impede airflow. Inspect the cutting blade for sharpness and damage; sharpen or replace if dull or bent.

Motor stops during use.

The motor may have overheated. Release the safety handle and switch off the power. Allow the mower to cool down for 10-15 minutes before restarting. Check for blockages in the cutting deck or grass chute that might be causing strain.

Excessive vibration.

This could indicate a loose component or a damaged cutting blade. Stop the mower immediately, disconnect power, and inspect the blade and handle fastenings. Tighten any loose parts or replace a damaged blade.
