Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers are known for their reliability and cost – effectiveness. However, like any other equipment, they may encounter problems. Here are some common issues and solutions to help you troubleshoot your lawn mower.

Starting Problems

Fuel Issues
Check if there is enough fuel in the tank. If the fuel is old, it may cause starting problems. Replace the old fuel with fresh gasoline. Also, ensure the fuel valve is open.

Spark Plug Problems
The spark plug may be dirty or worn out. Remove the spark plug and clean it with a wire brush. If it’s damaged, replace it with a new one.

Cutting Performance Issues

Dull Blades
Dull blades can’t cut the grass properly. Sharpen the blades regularly using a file or take them to a professional for sharpening.

Clogged Deck
Grass clippings may clog the mower deck. Turn off the mower and use a stick or a brush to remove the clippings from the deck.

Engine Overheating

Air Filter Blockage
A dirty air filter restricts air flow to the engine, causing it to overheat. Clean or replace the air filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Low Oil Level
Insufficient oil can also lead to overheating. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
