Why is my Ferris IS600z Lawn Mower leaving stringers?
- C
  Christopher MendezAug 31, 2025
  If your Ferris Lawn Mower is leaving stringers, it could be due to several reasons. The blades might not be sharp or could be nicked, so sharpen them. They might also be worn down too far, in which case you should replace them. Ensure that the engine speed is not too slow by always mowing at full throttle. If the ground speed is too fast, slow down. Finally, the deck might be plugged with grass, so clean out the mower.

  If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly, the fuel mixture may be too rich. Try cleaning the air filter and checking the choke adjustment. Also, inspect the spark plugs; if they are faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped, clean and gap them, or replace them as needed.

  If your Ferris Lawn Mower exhibits uneven cutting, several factors could be the cause. Start by ensuring the deck is leveled correctly. Check if the blades are dull, worn, or damaged, and sharpen or replace them as needed. A deck clogged with grass clippings can also lead to uneven cutting, so clean it out thoroughly. Inspect the deck shell for any damage and repair or replace it if necessary. Additionally, check the mower spindle for bending or looseness, and repair or replace it accordingly. Make sure the blades are installed correctly. Finally, verify that the tires are properly inflated.

  If your Ferris Lawn Mower has excessive oil consumption, it could be due to the engine running too hot. Clean the engine fins, blower screen, and air cleaner.
