Frequently Asked Questions - 25371 Craftsman

How do I start the Craftsman 25371 lawn mower?

Sit in the operator's seat, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to choke (if cold), turn the ignition key to start. Release key when engine runs.

How often should I change the engine oil?

Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil.

How do I replace the mower blade?

Disconnect the spark plug, raise the mower deck securely, remove the blade bolt, install new blade with sharp edge facing forward, torque bolt to specifications.

What is the correct tire pressure for the Craftsman 25371?

Check the manual for specific PSI values. Typically, front tires: 14-18 PSI, rear tires: 10-14 PSI. Overinflation can cause uneven cut.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

Locate the cutting height lever or dial on the left side of the mower. Move the lever to the desired position (usually 1-4 inches). Ensure all wheels are at same height.

Why does the engine stall when I engage the blades?

The seat switch might be faulty or not engaged. Also check the PTO (blade engagement) switch and safety interlocks. Ensure you are seated properly.

How do I replace the drive belt?

Remove the mower deck, release belt tension by unclamping the idler pulley, slip the old belt off, route the new belt exactly as the diagram in the manual shows, and re-tension.

Can I use the mower on slopes?

Only use on gentle slopes. Do not mow on steep slopes where the machine could tip. The manual includes a ROS (Reverse Operation System) for safe use.

How do I clean the mower deck?

Use a hose to wash the underside. Some models have a washout port. Scrape off grass buildup. Do not use high-pressure water near bearings.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact an authorized Craftsman dealer or visit the Craftsman website. Use the model number 25371 to find parts like blades, belts, filters, and spark plugs.

SE Kör i högervarv så gräsklippet slungas bort från rabatter, gångar etc. Vid större gräsmattor bör körriktningen efter 2–3 varv ändras så gräsklippet slungas ut mot den yta som redan klippts som illustrationen visar.
NO Kjør i høyrerunder slik at avklippet slynges bort fra rabatter, ganger etc. Ved større gressmatter bør kjøreretningen endres etter 2 - 3 runder slik at avklippet slynges ut mot den flaten som allerede er klippet, slik illustrasjonen viser.
Kør i omgange mod højre, så græsafklippet slynges væk fra rabatter, gange osv. Ved større plænearealer bør køreretningen ændres efter 2-3 omgange, så græsafklippet slynges mod det areal, der allerede er blevet klippet, se illustrationen.
⑤ Aja oikealle kaartaen, niin ruohosilppu lentää poispäin kuk-kapenkeistä, käytäviltä, jne. Suuremmilla nurmialueilla pitää ajosuuntaa vaihtaa 2 - 3 kierroksen välein, jotta ruohosilppu lentäisi jo leikatulle nurmikolle kuvan osoittamalla tavalla.
PT Dirija virando sempre para a direita, para que a grama cortada seja atirada para longe dos canteiros de flores e caminhos, etc. Em gramados grandes, a direção deve ser mudada após 2-3 viradas para que a grama cortada seja atirada na direção da área que já foi cortada, conforme mostra a ilustração.
GR Οδηγήστε στρίβοντας δεξιά για να πετάγεται το κομμένο γρασίδι μακριά από τα λουλούδια, τους διαδρόμους, κτλ. Για μεναλύτερες περιοχές με γκαζόν, θα πρέπει να αλλάζετε την κατεύθυνοη οδήγησης μετά από 2-3 στροφές για να πετάγεται το κομμένο γρασίδι προς την περιοχή που έχει ήδη κουρευτεί, όπως απεικονίζεται στην εικόνα.
