FAQs

What type of fuel does the mower use?

The mower uses unleaded petrol.

What type of oil should I use?

Refer to the owner's manual for the correct type and viscosity of oil recommended for the engine.

How often should I change the oil?

Follow the oil change intervals specified in the owner's manual, typically after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours.

How do I clean the mower deck?

After each use, tip the mower on its side (after removing the spark plug cable) and scrape away any grass clippings. You can also use a hose, being careful not to get water on the engine.

Can I use the mower on wet grass?

It is not recommended to mow wet grass, as it can clog the mower and affect cutting performance. Wait until the grass is dry.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is typically two years from the date of purchase. Review your purchase documentation for specifics.

How do I store the mower during the off-season?

Drain the fuel, clean the mower, and store it in a dry, covered area. Consider winterizing the engine according to the manual.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be found through authorized Zipper dealers or online retailers specializing in lawn mower parts.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start.

Check fuel and oil levels, ensure the spark plug is connected, and review the starting procedure in the manual.

Mower cuts unevenly.

Check the blade for damage and sharpen or replace if necessary. Ensure the cutting height is set correctly and the lawn is relatively even.

Engine runs roughly or stalls.

Check the fuel quality, clean or replace the air filter, and inspect the spark plug.

Self-propelled function not working.

Check the drive belt and ensure it is properly engaged. Consult the manual for troubleshooting the drive mechanism.
