SECTION 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Q: How do I prevent an uneven cutting pattern and increase the quality of cut?
6.1 A: Check tire pressure, check blade sharpness (replace blades or sharpen at least once
per year or when needed), make sure blades are tightened properly, check spring and belt
tension, check the underside of the deck to ensure the mower deck is free of grass build-up
and debris, make sure your machine is at full throttle, and vary your mowing pattern each
time you cut your grass.
6.2 Q: What should I do if my mower won’t start?
6.2 A: Check battery charge and connection (grounds), check your fuel (make sure fuel is less
than 30 days old and contains no water), make sure your spark plug is in good condition
and spark plug wire is attached, and make sure air filter is clean (a dirty filter makes it more
difficult for the engine to draw air). Check the integrity of the 25 amp main fuse; also check
for any bare wires and/or bad connections.
6.3
Q:
What should I do if the blades won’t engage?
6.3
A:
Check the underside of the PTO engagement switch to ensure the plug is secure. Also
check PTO fuse underneath operator console (15 Amps).
6.4
Q:
What type of fuel is recommended for my mower?
6.4
A:
We recommend that you use a name brand fuel to ensure quality. Use fuel with an octane
rating near 87. Higher octane fuels offer no benefit. By law, E-15 fuel is not permitted. Usage
of E-15 will result in premature engine failure.
6.5
Q:
Do you offer touch-up paint for your mowers?
6.5
A:
Touch-up paint is available. Contact your local dealer for more information.
