If your Craftsman Lawn Mower engine backfires when turning it off, ensure that the engine throttle control is set to the “SLOW” position for 30 seconds before stopping the engine. Move the throttle control to “SLOW” position and allow it to idle for 30 seconds before stopping the engine.
Why is my Craftsman 917.273220 not discharging grass properly?
If your Craftsman Lawn Mower isn't discharging grass well, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the engine speed isn't too slow by placing the throttle in the “FAST” position. If you're moving too quickly, shift to a slower speed. Wet grass can also be a culprit, so allow the grass to dry before mowing. Check that the mower deck is level and the tire air pressure is correct. A worn, bent, or loose blade should be replaced or sharpened, and the blade bolt tightened. Clean any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower housing. If the mower drive belt is worn, replace it. Make sure blades are correctly installed with the sharp edge down, and that you are using the proper blades. Finally, clear any clogs around the mandrels to open the mower deck vent holes.
What to do if the headlights on my Craftsman 917.273220 Lawn Mower are not working?
If the headlights on your Craftsman Lawn Mower aren't working, start by checking if the switch is turned “ON”. If it is, the bulb(s) may be burned out and need replacement. A faulty light switch could also be the issue, so check and replace if necessary. Inspect the wiring and connections for any looseness or damage. Lastly, a blown fuse could be the cause, so replace the fuse.
Why is the battery on my Craftsman Lawn Mower not charging?
If the battery of your Craftsman Lawn Mower isn't charging, the battery cell(s) might be bad, requiring a replacement. Check and clean all cable connections to ensure they are secure. If your mower is equipped with a regulator, a faulty one could be the problem, necessitating a replacement. Alternatively, the alternator might be faulty and need replacing as well.
What to do if my Craftsman Lawn Mower is experiencing a loss of drive?
If you're experiencing a loss of drive with your Craftsman Lawn Mower, first ensure the freewheel control is in the “engaged” position. A worn, damaged, or broken motion drive belt could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Additionally, air trapped in the transmission during shipment or servicing might be the issue, so purge the transmission.
