    What to do if my Exmark METRO Lawn Mower engine will not start?
    • J
      Jennifer MckayAug 15, 2025
      If your Exmark Lawn Mower's engine won't start, ensure the transmission is in the 'true neutral' position. Also, verify that the blades are disengaged and the blade switch is depressed. Confirm there is fuel in the tank and the fuel valve is open. Check that the spark plug wire(s) are properly connected and inspect for loose or faulty wiring connections, including corrosion. Clean any corroded connector terminals, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect.

    Why is my Exmark METRO Lawn Mower pulling to the left or right?

      Jeffrey FarrellAug 21, 2025
      If your Exmark Lawn Mower is pulling to the left or right, check the idler arm pulleys and drive sheaves for mud or grass buildup and ensure the scraper is properly installed. Verify that the idler arms pivot freely; if not, lubricate the idler pivots. Inspect for worn drive belts. Also, check the tire pressure in the drive tires, ensuring it's between 12 to 16 psi. You might use higher pressure (up to 28 psi) on the side it's pulling towards, but be aware that different pressures may cause an uneven cut.

    How to fix an Exmark METRO Lawn Mower that cuts unevenly?

      To fix an Exmark Lawn Mower that cuts unevenly, start by checking the drive tire pressure and tire circumference. Remember that higher tire pressure on rough terrain may provide a more uniform cutting height, while lower pressure offers more flotation. Check the blade spacers, axle positions, and front caster spacers, ensuring they are equal on each blade. Confirm that all bolts on the caster mounting brackets are tight. Also, check the blades tip to tip for straightness, ensuring they are within 3/16" or one blade width from being in line.

      If your Exmark Lawn Mower is pulling to the left or right, consider these possible solutions: * Inspect idler arm pulleys and drive sheaves for any buildup of mud or grass. * Ensure idler arms can pivot freely; if they don't, lubricate the idler pivots. * Examine drive belts for wear; avoid using a new belt with a worn one. * Verify proper tire pressure in the drive tires, with a recommendation of 12 to 16 psi (82 –110 kPa). You might use higher pressure (up to 28 psi or 193 kPa) on the side it pulls towards.
