What causes low oil pressure in my Big Dog Lawn Mower engine?
If your Big Dog Lawn Mower has low engine oil pressure, the oil level may be low, so add oil. Alternatively, the oil could be diluted or too light; in this case, change the oil and check for any source of contamination.
What to do if the starting motor on my Big Dog Lawn Mower doesn't crank?
If your Big Dog Lawn Mower's starting motor isn't cranking, ensure the steering control levers are in the park brake position, and the switch is properly adjusted. Also, make sure the deck clutch switch is disengaged. A weak or dead battery can also prevent cranking, so recharge or replace it. Check for corroded or loose electrical connections and address them. Finally, inspect the 15 amp fuse and replace it if blown.
