  Pamela RamirezNov 25, 2025
  If your Exmark Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts with difficulty, or fails to remain running, several factors could be responsible. Begin by ensuring the fuel tank is adequately filled and the fuel shutoff valve is open. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Make sure the throttle and choke are correctly positioned—throttle midway between “SLOW” and “FAST,” choke “ON” for a cold engine, “OFF” for a warm one. Replace a dirty fuel filter. Also, inspect and clean or replace the air cleaner if it's dirty. Adjust the seat switch if it's not properly adjusted. Check the spark plug wire connection and clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug if faulty. Check for corroded, loose, or faulty electrical connections, and clean and reconnect them if needed.

  Rhonda FranklinAug 23, 2025
  If the starter on your Exmark Lawn Mower doesn't crank, there are several things to check: * Ensure the PTO is disengaged. * Set the parking brake. * Make sure the drive levers are in the neutral lock position. * Check if the battery has a full charge and charge it if necessary. * Inspect electrical connections for corrosion or looseness; clean and reconnect them. * Replace any blown fuses. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the relay or switch may be defective, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter on your Exmark Lawn Mower doesn't crank, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the PTO is disengaged. Next, verify that the parking brake is fully set and that the drive levers are in the neutral lock position. Check the battery charge and charge if necessary. Examine all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness; clean them with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect. Replace any blown fuses. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the relay or switch may be defective, requiring assistance from an Authorized Service Dealer.

What to do if my Exmark Lazer Z XS engine overheats?
- C
  Crystal LynchAug 27, 2025
  If your Exmark Lawn Mower engine is overheating, there are several potential causes. First, the engine load might be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. A dirty air filter can also cause overheating, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Ensure the coolant level is adequate and add coolant if necessary. Also, check for any debris on or around the radiator and remove it. If the water pump or alternator belt is worn, loose, or broken, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Exmark Lawn Mower cutting height uneven?
- S
  Stephanie MasonAug 29, 2025
  An uneven cutting height on your Exmark Lawn Mower can result from several factors. The blades might not be sharp, so sharpen them. Bent cutting blades can also cause this, so install new ones. Check if the mower deck is level and adjust it from side-to-side and front-to-rear if necessary. A dirty mower underside can also contribute, so clean it. Ensure the tire pressure in the drive tires is correct, and adjust if needed. For a bent blade spindle or uneven cutting height of adjacent blade tips, it is best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer or replace blades, spindles and (or) check for damage to mower deck.

What to do if the blades do not rotate on my Exmark Lazer Z XS Lawn Mower?
- A
  Amber LeeSep 23, 2025
  If the blades on your Exmark Lawn Mower aren't rotating, check the drive belt tension. If the drive belt is worn, loose, or broken, check belt for damage and replace if necessary. Install drive belt and check adjusting shafts and belt guides for correct position. If the deck belt is worn, loose, or broken, install a new deck belt. If the deck belt is off the pulley, install deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm and spring for correct position and function. Replace any broken or missing idler springs.

How to fix uneven cutting height on my Exmark Lawn Mower?

  Kristina JohnstonSep 16, 2025
  To fix an uneven cutting height with your Exmark Lawn Mower, start by sharpening the blades. If the cutting blades are bent, replace them. Ensure the mower deck is level from side to side and front to rear. Clean the underside of the mower deck to remove any accumulated debris. Check and adjust the tire pressure in the drive tires. If the blade spindle is bent or the tips of adjacent blades are at an uneven cutting height, contact an Authorized Service Dealer or replace blades, spindles and (or) check for damage to mower deck.

Why is my Exmark Lazer Z XS having abnormal vibration?
- K
  Kenneth BatesSep 18, 2025
  If you're experiencing abnormal vibration with your Exmark Lawn Mower, start by checking the cutting blades. Replace them if they are bent or unbalanced. Ensure the blade mounting bolt and engine mounting bolts are tightened securely. Also, inspect the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley for looseness and tighten as necessary. If the engine pulley or blade spindle is damaged, or the belt is damaged you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer or install new belt.

What to do if my Exmark Lazer Z XS Lawn Mower machine does not drive?
- J
  Jesus RowlandSep 8, 2025
  If your Exmark Lawn Mower isn't driving, check that the bypass valve is closed tightly. A worn, loose, or broken drive or pump belt can also be the culprit, so replace the belt. Ensure the drive or pump belt hasn't come off a pulley, and if it has, change the belt. Look for a broken or missing idler spring and replace it if necessary. Finally, check the hydraulic fluid level; if it's low, add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir, or if it's too hot, let it cool down.

Why is my Exmark Lazer Z XS engine losing power?
- V
  vwrightSep 5, 2025
  If your Exmark Lawn Mower engine is losing power, try reducing the ground speed to lessen the engine load. Clean or replace the air cleaner element if it's dirty. Ensure the oil level in the crankcase is adequate by adding oil if needed. Clear any obstructions from the engine's cooling fins and air passages to improve airflow. Check the fuel cap's vent hole and clean or replace the cap if the vent is plugged. Replace the fuel filter if it's clogged with dirt. If the problem persists, there may be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
