Troubleshooting & Maintenance Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"

\nWe\u2019ve all been there. You\u2019ve been through winter and your lawnmower has been sat in the shed <\/a>the whole time.\n<\/p>\n

\nSpring has come and it\u2019s time to get back into the garden and spruce it up, starting with a good trim of your lawn.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou go to dust off the mower and get it started, but nothing happens. Is it fully broken? Or is it just a symptom of it not being used for a couple of months?\n<\/p>\n

\nEither way you definitely want to find out.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere are several reasons why a lawnmower might not start. Some are really simple, like just needing the oil changed or excess grass cuttings clogging the blades. Some issues are more complex and can lead to part replacement which can be costly.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\nThis guide will give you some troubleshooting tips to help identify problems, as well as share some maintenance tips to prevent future problems.\n<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Basic Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n

\nThere are a few different issues you might run into while cutting your grass (if you even get that far).\n<\/p>\n

The Mower Won\u2019t Start<\/h3>\n

\nIf it’s a petrol mower that won\u2019t start<\/a> right off the bat, then your first port of call will be to check the fuel.\n<\/p>\n

\nEven if it\u2019s still full from before winter, change it out for some fresh petrol to make sure it\u2019s ready for use.\n<\/p>\n

\nNext up is checking the spark plug. Make sure this is clean and tightly secured. Disconnect and reconnect it to make sure the connection is tight.\n<\/p>\n

\nFinally you can check the air filter. If it\u2019s dirty and clogged this may prevent the mower from starting, so cleaning this off might fix this. However it\u2019s possible the filter needs to be replaced.\n<\/p>\n

If it’s an electric mower<\/a> then it’s worth checking the fuse.<\/p>\n

Your Mower Loses Power During Use<\/h3>\n

\nThis can again be a symptom of a dirty air filter so cleaning this out may fix the problem.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis can also happen a lot when cutting tall grass. This leads to the blades getting clogged very quickly if you\u2019re trying to cut it really short, since the longer grass will wrap round the blades and stop them spinning.\n<\/p>\n

\nRaising the cutting height of your mower can help prevent this, since then the grass cuttings are much shorter and are less able to clog the blades.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnother issue related to the above is simply a build up of debris and grass clippings in the blades. Cleaning the underside out will prevent this kind of issue.\n<\/p>\n

The Mower is Struggling to Cut Grass<\/h3>\n

\nThis issue is similar to the previous, except instead of the mower dropping out, it still runs but just can\u2019t seem to get anywhere with the grass cutting.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs before, a build up of debris and\/or old grass clippings can reduce the cutting power of your mower, as the blades will be less effective. Cleaning the underside will potentially fix this.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhile you\u2019re checking for clogs, the side discharge chute is a good place to investigate as well. This can quickly become clogged if you don\u2019t keep on top of it and will prevent your mower from cutting effectively.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnother reason for this is that the blades could have dulled over time. Sharpening these up will definitely improve the cutting power.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhile you\u2019re doing this is a good time to check if the blades are actually loose as well. These can be tightened up if so.\n<\/p>\n

Your Mower Is Starting to Smoke<\/h3>\n

\nThis may look terrifying, but in a lot of cases it\u2019s not that serious.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf it\u2019s darker coloured smoke, this is OK. This is usually caused by your oil chamber being too full, or oil leaking into the exhaust when tipping the mower.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe smoke here is then just caused by the oil burning off. This isn\u2019t a huge issue but it\u2019s probably best to sit back until the smoke stops to avoid breathing in the fumes.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf the smoker is lighter in colour, then this is a different story and your mower needs to be seen by a professional.\n<\/p>\n

\nThese are some of the more basic and obvious troubleshooting tips that can often be sorted by quick fixes.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere are of course more serious issues that will need replacements.\n<\/p>\n

Potential Repairs & Replacements<\/h2>\n

\nAs with a lot of equipment, there will be issues that simply require a replacement part to fix.\n<\/p>\n

\nLike I mentioned in the previous section, often issues arise from dirty\/clogged air filters or dirty\/loose spark plugs.\n<\/p>\n

\nSometimes simply cleaning these parts won\u2019t cut it and they need to be replaced to have your mower back in working action.\n<\/p>\n

\nIssues are sometimes caused by the fuel just not reaching the engine. This can be difficult to check for but one method is to check the spark plug after several pulls of the starter cord.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe plug should be quite damp, though if it is wet then the engine is flooding which is not good. (On a warmer day this test isn\u2019t as reliable since any fuel will evaporate and the plug will appear dry).\n<\/p>\n

\nIf there is no fuel getting to the engine, then there are a number of reasons for this.\n<\/p>\n

\nDirty air or fuel filters which might need to be replaced. There are several components to a carburetor that can become worn over time and need replacing as well.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf there is water in the fuel tank this will be a serious issue as well. You can check this by shining a torch to see the globules of water in the fuel itself.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou can drain the tank and soak up the water left at the bottom with a cloth or sponge.\n<\/p>\n

\nSome more technical replacements and repairs are more suited to a professional, especially if you\u2019re unsure.\n<\/p>\n

Maintenance and Fault Prevention<\/h2>\n

\nAs far as maintenance goes, it\u2019s similar to a lot of fuel powered appliances.\n<\/p>\n

\nRegularly checking the oil and changing it every so often is a must to keep the mower healthy.\n<\/p>\n

\nChecking the air filters before each use is good too to prevent clogging and keep the mower running efficiently.\n<\/p>\n

\nBefore each use it is good to check the fuel too as a lot of times it\u2019s possible to forget to fill the fuel tank! As mentioned before, checking the fuel is especially important if you haven\u2019t used the mower in a long time.\n<\/p>\n

\nKeeping the blades sharp is also key so regularly checking to see if the blades are dull is necessary.\n<\/p>\n

\nFollowing these smaller maintenance tips should help keep your mower in good working condition and mean you encounter issues less often.\n<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

\"Person<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see, there are a lot of different issues that prevent your mower from starting (or even stop it running during a cutting session).\n<\/p>\n

\nMost of these will be easily fixed and can be checked visually which is a big plus.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf you stick to the maintenance advice given as well, then you\u2019ll be able to use your mower with fewer problems!\n<\/p>\n

\nAs always, if you\u2019re unsure, check the manufacturer\u2019s instructions.\n<\/p>\n

\nGood luck with the grass!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
