How to troubleshoot starting issues in my Gravely Lawn Mower?
- V
  vpowellAug 14, 2025
  If your Gravely Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, the safety interlock system might not be engaged or could be faulty, so you should check it. The fuel tank may be empty, requiring you to fill it. Contaminated fuel can also prevent starting, so replace it with clean fuel. A discharged battery is another common cause, so ensure it is charged. Also, check the connection between the battery and cables, tightening or cleaning them as necessary. Finally, loose spark plug wires or faulty plugs can be the culprit; connect the wires or replace the spark plugs.

Why is the cutting quality poor on my Gravely Lawn Mower?

  sharonjohnsonAug 17, 2025
  If your Gravely Lawn Mower isn't cutting well, several factors could be responsible. The mower blades might not be level, or the deck pitch could be incorrect; level and adjust them. Dull or faulty blades will also cause poor cutting, so sharpen or replace them. If you're mowing too fast, try driving slower. Poor belt tension or condition can also affect cutting quality, so replace the mower belts. Avoid setting the cutting height too low, and for very tall grass, consider mowing twice.
