Proper fuel mixing tips:
- Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
- Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be used, add the entire amount of oil, mix (agitate) the fuel mixture, add the remaining amount of gasoline.
- Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time.
- Mix (agitate) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine's fuel tank.
- Mix to the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer.
The cause for an engine to stall can range from simple operation error to engine failure.
- Fuel: Check to make sure the mower has not run out of fuel.
- Oil: Some of the engines have a low oil shut off to prevent damage to the engine if the oil level is too low. Check the oil level and fill to the full mark if the dip stick shows that the oil level is low.
Engine is not operated at full rpm: The engine needs to be operated at full throttle during deck engagement and while the deck is engaged. This assures that the engine is operating at its designed rpm range, and producing enough power to run the deck and the drive system.
- Routine maintenance: The maintenance chart in the owner’s manual is based on normal time intervals, and is designed to keep your mower operating at its peak efficiency. The engine will not operate properly, or efficiently, if the air filter is dirty or clogged, the spark plug is fouled, the fuel is contaminated or stale, or the fuel filter is clogged.
- Cutting too much grass at one time: Cutting too much off of tall grass may cause the engine to stall. The general rule of thumb is to cut 1/3 of the total grass height.
If the above solutions did not help then you may need to have your mower inspected by an
Authorised Service Dealer for proper diagnosis and repair.
