Common Problems –

Outdoor equipment like lawn mowers are subject to hard environmental conditions and although they’re built to withstand a high degree of wear, occasional issues are bound to occur. Most of the time however, these can be quickly fixed without having to call an authorized technician. Prompt maintenance and lubrication can help minimize such occurrences.

• Mower isn’t cutting evenly
  Inspect the wheels to check whether the tire pressure in all four wheels is adequate and make sure that the deck has been balanced. If this isn’t the problem, check the blades for dullness and sharpen if required.  
• Engine overheating:
  A dirty air filter can choke fuel and oxygen from reaching the combustion chamber, causing the cylinders to knock and heat the engine. Keep your filter clean and inspect the element regularly, as recommended in the user manual.  
• Mower shuts off when mowing:

Check the fuel tank, if the fuel is old throw it out and refill with fresh gasoline. If fuel isn’t the issue, check for fuel cap gap – a clogged up gap stops the engine from drawing in fuel from the tank could result in stalling.
