Troubleshooting
Mower is difficult to push
Ensure grass is not too long or wet. Check for any debris caught in the blades or rollers. Adjust cutting height to a higher setting if grass is thick.
Uneven cutting performance
Check that the cutting height is set evenly on both sides. Ensure blades are clean and free from obstructions. For persistent issues, the blades may require adjustment or sharpening.
Grass clippings not being collected
Empty the collection basket when full. Ensure the basket is properly attached and that there are no blockages between the cutting cylinder and the basket opening.
Mower is noisy during operation
Inspect the blades and cutting cylinder for any foreign objects. Ensure all parts are securely fastened. Excessive noise might indicate a need for blade maintenance or professional servicing.
