To Next PageTo Next PageWhy MTD Lawn Mower will not mulch grass?
Your MTD Lawn Mower may not mulch grass effectively if: * The grass is wet; avoid mowing when the grass is wet and wait until it's dry. * The grass is excessively high; mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at the desired height or make a narrower cutting path. * The blade is dull; sharpen or replace the blade.
What to do if MTD 080 has occasional skip at high speed?
If your MTD Lawn Mower experiences occasional skipping (hesitates) at high speed, the spark plug gap may be too close. Adjust the gap to .030”.
