Solution
Check and ensure that the lower part of handle is pushed
fully back and snapped into proper position.
Tighten the handle knobs.
Fill the mower with petrol. If the mower still does not start,
contact an authorised service centre.
Wait for 15 minutes, then try starting the mower again.
Refer to Starting/Stopping the mower section.
Only use fresh fuel. Fuel over 30 days old may prevent
the product from starting.
Check spark. Remove spark plug. Reattach the spark plug
cap and lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the starter
rope and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no
spark, repeat test with a new spark plug.
Contact an authorised service centre.
Raise the cutting height.
Replace the blade.
Stop the product. Make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool down.
Disconnect the spark plug wire. Inspect for damage. Have
the damage repaired by an authorised service centre
before restarting the product.
Wait until the grass dries before mowing.
Stop the product. Make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool down.
Disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove grass catcher
and lift discharge chute cover. Beware of the sharp blade
and avoid contact. Remove the debris from the discharge
chute.
Raise the cutting height. Cutting very wet grass at a low
cutting height will also greatly hinder the ability of the
mower to throw the grass to the catcher. We recommend
raising the cutting height or cutting the grass when it is
not as wet.
