Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank and the oil level is correct. Check that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Verify the throttle is in the 'start' position and try the pull cord again.
Mower is losing power or cutting unevenly
Check the fuel mixture and ensure it's fresh. Inspect the blade for damage or dullness and sharpen or replace if necessary. Clear any grass build-up from the deck and ensure the air filter is clean.
Grass clippings not entering the collection bag
The grass bag may be full and need emptying. Check for blockages in the discharge chute and clear any accumulated grass.
Excessive vibration during operation
Inspect the blade for balance. If the blade is damaged or unbalanced, it may need to be replaced. Ensure all engine mounting bolts are secure.
