Can this vibrate open by accident while mowing ? I don't think my B&amp;S 17.5 HP has a low oil cut off.

I have been using these on my riding mower over rough terrain for 10 years and never had open up.

yes it will shut down if low on oil, has a fuel gauge, loud as a gas lawn mower with a good muffler

Are you lifting the rear or the front? Im using it on a Gravely 52" HD mower and it has no problem lifting the front. You can always cal MoJack. Thats what I did.

Ask champion...same as a gas mower. I placed it outside my garage door and you couldn't hear it in the house with the door down.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

It shouldn't be. I dropped mine once & it buzzed very loud while running. I took the blade off & oiled it - put it back together , & it operated normal.

Yes, just unfold the handle and pour oil in. Then put gas in it and its ready to mow.

It guess it could be because the side inducer does swing open, althought this very model did not come with extra pipe and mulch bag for using as a leaf vac. It may have to be purchased separately.

How old is the mower? Has the setting selector been damaged? Usually there are notches for the setting lever to be placed in? Not knowing the condition of the area in question can not suggest a remedy. Sorry.

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Similar to a normal push mower. The sound is noticeable, but when you are without power, it is a wonderful noise!! Hope this helps you. Diana

No. I bought this mower last year. I would suggest that no one should buy this mower. The problem is that all the weight is on the back of the mower. This mower is a safety hazard. This mower will flip backwards very easily. It flipped backwards on me twice. I'm lucky that I wasn't injured. That's a miracle of the first order.

The only time mine did that was because I had the settings too close to the ground. As soon as I moved the settings up I mowed fine. When my lawn is really long, I have to put it at the highest setting.

I know this feature can be turned on or off, but I can't remember off the top of my head how. All I know is mine always vibrates when it reads the correct yardage. I suggest revueing the owners manual.

Sounds like a bad bearing. The depth may cause an issue, but unlikely. Depending on material you are cutting, it may bog down with a 1 3/4 hp, but not wobble. I think adam brown hit it on the mark.. you got a dud. I cut 2" corian with it and it cuts like butter with no wobble what so ever.
