Why my Dixon 36 & 48 engine does not start?

  brenda09Jul 28, 2025
  If your Dixon Lawn Mower engine fails to start, several factors could be at play. Ensure the key is in the 'ON' position. Check that the transmission shift lever is in neutral and the blade control is in the OFF position. Verify the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel shut-off valve is open. The throttle control should be in the choke position. Also, make sure the spark plug wire is connected. Other potential issues include safety interlock switches needing adjustment, a bad or disconnected spark plug, a dirty air filter, a clogged fuel filter, or bad fuel. Replacing these components or adjusting the switches as needed might resolve the issue. If the fuel is bad, drain the old fuel and refill with fresh fuel.

  If your Dixon Lawn Mower engine starts hard or loses power, the issue could stem from several causes. There might be dirt or water in the fuel tank, which requires draining and cleaning the tank. A clogged or dirty fuel filter or a dirty air filter can also cause these symptoms and should be replaced. Additionally, a faulty spark plug can lead to starting issues or power loss, so consider replacing it. Finally, ensure that the oil level is correct by checking and adjusting it as necessary.

Ensure the grass screen is clean to allow for proper airflow. Verify that the oil level is correct and adjust if needed. A dirty air filter can also cause overheating, so check and adjust it.

Why Dixon Lawn Mower provides a rough cut?

  johnvillegasAug 10, 2025
  If the Dixon Lawn Mower provides a rough cut, several factors could be contributing. Ensure that the ground speed isn't too fast for the mowing conditions; if it is, reduce your travel speed. Check the blades for bends and replace them if necessary. Make sure the engine runs at 3600 r.p.m. by moving the throttle to fast. Also, confirm the blades are installed right-side up, and if not, remove and replace them correctly. Clear any excessive build-up underneath the mowing deck. Other potential issues include unequal space configuration on blades or front casters, tire pressure in wheels not equal, blades dull.

  Mr. Brandon Garza DDSAug 14, 2025
  If your Dixon Lawn Mower does not move when the traction levers are released, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that the transmission is not in neutral. Additionally, check the engine to transmission belt to see if it is loose and adjust it as necessary. Also, check the drive wheel belt adjustment. Finally, inspect the drive belts for wear or damage and replace them if needed.
