  • @kellywalker7127
    @kellywalker7127 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sadly, either they hid the little boil thingy on my mower, OR it did not come with one. (The second answer is the correct one) and I can't figure out how to get it started easily. You tubed etc... still unknown. I pull and pull till it starts, about the 20th yank. It works, it was free. Eventually I will get a new one WITH a red boil! Thanks @HowtoDad.

  • @nikiTricoteuse
    @nikiTricoteuse 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Have to disagree HTD, that is called a motor mower, a push mower has no motor. Also, a tip for the less strong among us, hold onto the handle with one hand and the pull cord with the other then, simultaneously pull the cord and push the mower, SOOO much easier than trying just with the cord.

But was pleasantly surprised, it’s fast and then we’re done. Nice pie, beer and off you go.

  • @scragar
    @scragar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    That looks massively complicated. I have a battery powered mower, I use it then put it on charge when I return it to the shed. Never had any problems starting it or need for an instruction manual. Press start to turn it on, press off to turn it off or let go of the handle. Adjust the hight with the ↑ and ↓ buttons.
    The idea of messing around just to start it or it running without a deadmans switch in the handle is horrifying.
