- C
  Cassandra OwensAug 12, 2025
  If your Scheppach Lawn Mower engine won't start, make sure you press the brake lever and check the speed lever position. Other potential causes include a defective spark plug (replace it, if needed), an empty fuel tank (refill it with fuel), or contaminated fuel (empty the tank and refill with clean fuel). In cold environments, try pushing the primer button if your model has one. If none of these steps work, it may indicate a faulty engine.
