Possible Causes

Cutting height set below recommended level, Uneven or bumpy lawn surface, Blades not pivoting freely, Heavy mower sinking into soft spots

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before adjusting height or blades.

  • Raise cutting height: Increase the height setting by one or two steps and observe the result over several days.
  • Check blade pivot: Ensure each blade swings freely on its mounting screw. Clean and replace if seized.
  • Level the lawn: Fill low spots with topsoil and roll or level high spots to create a smoother surface.
  • Soil compaction: Avoid operating the mower on very soft, waterlogged ground where it can sink.
