Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, ensure the engine is filled with the correct grade of 4-stroke engine oil, as most mowers are shipped dry. The electric start battery should be fully charged according to the manual instructions before the first attempt to start.
Maintenance Tips:
- Check Oil Level: Always inspect the oil dipstick before every use.
- Clean the Deck: After each mow, remove grass clippings from the underside of the deck to prevent corrosion and maintain cutting efficiency.
- Winter Storage: Drain the fuel or use a fuel stabilizer if the mower will not be used for more than 30 days to prevent carburetor issues.
- Blade Care: Regularly inspect the blade for dullness or damage and have it sharpened or replaced as needed to ensure a clean, healthy cut.
