Why my Kobalt KMP 5040-06 Lawn Mower does not start?
- S
  Sara BondJul 27, 2025
  If your Kobalt Lawn Mower doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted until it clicks into place. Grass jammed at the blade area can also prevent starting; remove the battery and check under the deck for any obstructions. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the switch might be defective and need replacement. For battery replacement assistance, call 1-888-356-2258.

Why does my Kobalt KMP 5040-06 Lawn Mower turn off during mowing?

  Joel QuinnAug 1, 2025
  If your Kobalt Lawn Mower turns off while mowing, it could be due to several reasons. The battery might need charging, so ensure it's adequately charged. Check for grass or debris jammed between the blade and deck, and clear any obstructions after removing the battery. The cutting height might be set too low, so try increasing it. Also, the mower's operating temperature could be too high; move it to a cool, dry location and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Why is my Kobalt KMP 5040-06 Lawn Mower hard to push?
- S
  Shannon GuzmanAug 6, 2025
  If your Kobalt Lawn Mower is hard to push, it could be because the grass is too tall, or the cutting height is set too low; try raising the cutting height. Another reason might be that the rear of the mower housing and the blade are dragging in thick grass; empty the grass clippings from the grass catcher bag.

  Sheila MillerAug 11, 2025
  If your Kobalt Lawn Mower cuts the grass unevenly, it could be because the lawn is rough or uneven, so check the mowing area. Alternatively, the cutting height might not be set properly; adjust the wheels to a higher setting.

What to do if Kobalt KMP 5040-06 Lawn Mower does not mulch properly?
- S
  Shirley WolfeAug 16, 2025
  If your Kobalt Lawn Mower doesn't mulch properly, it could be because wet grass clippings are sticking to the underside of the deck; wait until the grass dries before mowing. Also, check if the mulching plug is missing and install it if necessary.
