TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1
Q:
How do I prevent an uneven cutting pattern and increase the quality of cut?
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?
A:
Check battery charge and connection (grounds), check your fuel level, drain fuel/water separator,
bleed air from fuel filter, 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 fuses; also check for any bare wires and/or bad
connections.
6.3
Q:
What should I do if the blades won’t engage?
A:
Make sure the safety switch is plugged in on the bottom of seat. Check the underside of the PTO
engager to ensure the plug is secure at switch. Also check PTO fuse underneath operator console (10-
amps)
6.4
Q:
What type of fuel is recommended for my mower?
A:
We recommend that you use a name brand low sulfur diesel fuel to ensure quality.
6.5
Q:
Do you offer touch-up paint for your mowers?
A:
Touch-up paint is available. Contact your local dealer for more information.
6.6
Q:
How do I clean my mower?
A:
It is recommended that you use an air hose or blower to remove dust and debris from the mower, to
ensure there is not a buildup of grass on the mower deck and engine compartment, which could
become a fire hazard. If you must wash the mower, ensure you run the engine to operating temp to dry
water and engage the blades to spin off any standing water on the pulleys. Avoid spraying water onto
electrical components and bearings, to prevent premature failure of these parts.
