Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Engine won't start | Empty fuel tank, dead battery, spark plug issue | Check fuel level, charge battery, inspect spark plug |
| Poor cutting performance | Dull blade, clogged deck, improper height | Sharpen or replace blade, clean deck, adjust cutting height |
| Uneven cutting | Uneven tire pressure, bent blade | Check and adjust tire pressure, inspect and replace blade if bent |
| Self-propel not working | Drive cable loose, drive belt worn | Adjust drive cable tension, replace drive belt if necessary |
| Excessive vibration | Unbalanced blade, loose parts | Balance or replace blade, tighten all bolts and fasteners |
