Why won't my Scotts 62016S Lawn Mower start?
- M
  meganmatthewsJul 29, 2025
  If your Scotts Lawn Mower fails to start, make sure the safety key is properly inserted. Check if the battery pack is depleted and needs charging, or ensure it's correctly attached to the mower on the correct side. Also, the mower might be too hot and need to cool down. Confirm that the handle is set at one of the operating positions and that the mower deck isn't clogged with grass or debris, which could prevent the blade from moving freely.

How to improve mulching with my Scotts 62016S?

  If your Scotts Lawn Mower isn't mulching properly, it could be because wet grass clippings are sticking to the underside of the deck; wait until the grass dries before mowing. Ensure the mulching plug is installed. Also, the mower might be set to cut too much grass, so raise the blade to a higher setting.

  If your Scotts Lawn Mower cuts unevenly, it might be due to a dull blade, so sharpen or replace it. The cutting height might not be set properly, so raise the blade to a higher setting. Also, the blade could be assembled incorrectly, so reassemble the blade, following the section 'Replacing the Cutting Blade' in this manual.

  Your Scotts Lawn Mower might stop while mowing because the battery pack is depleted and needs charging. The mower could also be in an overload condition, so try raising the cutting height or slowing down your mowing speed. Also, the mower deck might be clogged with grass and debris, or the battery or mower circuitry may be too hot and need to cool down.

Why is my Scotts 62016S vibrating so much?
- V
  vbellAug 18, 2025
  Excessive vibration in your Scotts Lawn Mower can be due to several reasons. The cutting blade might be loose, so tighten the blade bolt. It could also be unbalanced, so balance the blade. A bent cutting blade can also cause vibration, so replace the blade. If the motor shaft is bent, contact the service center at 1-800-618-7474.

  Justin BrownAug 23, 2025
  If the handle of your Scotts Lawn Mower is not in position, it could be because the carriage bolts are not seated properly; adjust the height of the handle and make sure the carriage bolts are seated properly. Alternatively, the handle knobs might not be tightened; tighten the handle knobs.
