6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your AIWEIYA AWY-550 mower.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Engine runs out of fuel quickly | Small fuel tank capacity | Refuel more frequently (approx. every 15-20 minutes of use). Consider carrying extra fuel for extended operation. |
| Engine stalls on steep slopes | Carburetor orientation, engine oil flow issues | Operate perpendicular to the slope. Keep the carburetor on the uphill side of the slope to prevent oil from choking the engine. |
| Mower rips up grass on turns | Abrupt turns with heavy unit/tracks | Avoid abrupt turns, especially on delicate lawns. Execute turns smoothly to minimize turf damage. |
| Mower stops when hitting thick saplings | Overload on cutting mechanism | The mower is not designed for saplings thicker than 1.5 inches. Clear such obstacles manually before mowing. |
