TROUBLE SHOOTING

7.1

MOWER PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT.

a. Refer to 5.2.14 front wheel adjustment.
b. Check air pressure in tyres; 16 psi (1.1 bar)/drive, 16 psi (1.1 bar)/pneumatic
front wheels.
7.2

MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.

a. Check air pressure in tyres; 16 psi (1.1 bar)/drive, 16 psi (1.1 bar)/pneumatic
front wheels. A more uniform cutting height can be obtained by using higher
pressures on rough terrain. A lower tyre pressure will provide more flotation.
b. Check deck support rods to ensure they all have tension on them.
c. Check deck levelling (See Adjustments Section 5.2.2.) Note: The front of the
mower deck will be approximately 1.5 to 6 mm lower than the back of the
mower deck. This is called the rake of the deck.
d. Check blades tip to tip for straightness (they should be within 3 mm of one
another.)
e. Check blades to make sure that they are sharp, level and complete.
7.3

ENGINE WILL NOT START.

a. Make sure battery is at a full charge.
b. Be sure the throttle control is midway between the SLOW and FAST positions,
and the choke is in the ON position for a cold engine or the OFF position for a
warm engine.
c. Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank and that the fuel valve is properly
positioned for the tank you are using.
d. Be sure the neutral switches are properly adjusted. See Section 5.2.9.
e. Make sure the parking brake is set, blade clutch (PTO) is in the OFF position
and foot pedals are in the neutral position.
f. Check the two fuses located on the LH side of the machine on the relay panel.
g. Check that the spark plug wires are properly connected.
h. Check for loose or faulty wiring connections.
i. Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may cause
a faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly with electrical
contact cleaner and apply dielectric grease and reconnect.
NOTE: When disconnecting electrical connectors DO NOT pull on the wires to separate the
connectors.
NOTE: After carefully checking the above steps, attempt to start the engine. If it does not
start, contact your authorised Gizmow service dealer.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be connected and in
proper operating condition prior to mower use.
When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example, starting
problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank.
