FAQs

How often should I change the oil?

Consult your owner's manual for the recommended oil change intervals. Typically, it is recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25-50 hours, or annually.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use fresh, unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating as specified in your owner's manual.

How do I sharpen the blade?

Remove the blade (after disconnecting the spark plug wire for safety), and sharpen it with a file or grinding tool. Ensure you maintain the original angle. Balance the blade after sharpening.

How do I store the mower for the winter?

Drain the fuel, clean the mower thoroughly, and store it in a dry, protected place. Consider adding fuel stabilizer to the fuel if you cannot drain it.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information can be found in the product documentation or on the manufacturer's website.

Can I use the mower on wet grass?

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

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear eye protection and sturdy shoes while mowing. Avoid mowing on slopes or uneven terrain. Do not touch the blade while the engine is running. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Check fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and inspect the air filter. Prime the engine and try again. Refer to the owner's manual for more detailed instructions.

Mower cuts unevenly

Check the cutting blade for damage or dullness. Adjust the cutting height and ensure the lawn is relatively level. Make sure the wheels are properly inflated and the mower deck is level.

Grass collector fills up too quickly

Ensure the grass is dry before mowing. Avoid cutting very long grass at once. Reduce the cutting height or mow more frequently.

Engine runs roughly or stalls

Check the fuel and air filters for clogs. Replace the spark plug. Consult the owner's manual for specific engine troubleshooting steps.

Mower is difficult to push

Check the wheels for obstructions and ensure the ball bearings are well lubricated. Make sure the cutting height is not set too low for the current grass conditions.
