  Makayla ChavezAug 9, 2025
  If the start cable on your Texas Lawn Mower is very tight, it could be due to: * The brake handle not being activated. Activate the brake handle and pull the start cord. * The machine being placed in high grass. Move the machine away from the high grass and repeat the start procedure. Set the height adjustment in the highest position, so that the blade is lifted free of the grass.
