FAQs
What type of fuel should I use?
This mower requires standard unleaded petrol. Always ensure it is fresh and free from contaminants.
How often should I check the oil level?
It is recommended to check the oil level before each use, similar to checking your car's oil.
What is the recommended oil type?
Refer to the engine manual for the specific oil grade. Typically, SAE30 is used for 4-stroke petrol engines in lawnmowers.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
Use the single lever located on the side of the mower deck. Move the lever to one of the eight positions to select your desired cutting height between 25mm and 70mm.
Is assembly required?
Some basic assembly is required, primarily attaching the handles. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
How do I engage the self-propelled feature?
Once the engine is running, squeeze the self-propelled lever (usually on the right handle) towards the handle to engage the drive. Release it to disengage.
How do I store the mower during winter?
Clean the mower thoroughly. For long-term storage, it's best to run the engine dry of fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Store in a dry, protected area. The folding handles allow for more compact storage.
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Ensure there is sufficient fuel and oil. Check the spark plug connection and ensure it is clean. Verify the choke is in the correct position for starting. Make sure the throttle is set to the 'fast' position.
Self-propelled drive not engaging
Check that the drive cable is securely connected and properly tensioned. Ensure the drive lever is being fully engaged. Inspect the drive belt for any damage or slippage.
Mower cutting unevenly
Ensure the blade is sharp and securely attached. Check that all wheels are set to the same cutting height. Clean any grass buildup from under the deck.
Grass bag not filling properly
Check for blockages in the discharge chute between the deck and the bag. Ensure the grass bag is correctly fitted and not overfilled. Trim grass when dry for better collection.
Engine running rough or stalling
Clean or replace the air filter. Check the spark plug for fouling or damage. Ensure you are using fresh, clean fuel. Check for any fuel line blockages.
