In the spring, the grass should be cut every week, while in the summer once every two weeks is sufficient.

How short should I cut the grass?

When the grass is longer than 4.5cm, the grass should be cut. The ideal length is between 3 and 4.5cm.

What should I do if my lawnmower's blades are not cutting properly?

Check if the blades are dull or damaged and need sharpening or replacement. Ensure that the cutting deck is not clogged with grass clippings, as this can impede the cutting performance. Also, verify that the engine speed is set to the appropriate level for effective cutting.

To clean the carburetor of your Viking MB455 lawnmower, please follow these steps: Disconnect the spark plug wire to ensure that the engine is turned off and cooled. Locate the carburetor of your lawnmower. It is generally located near the engine and is connected to a fuel line. Remove the air filter cover and the air filter to access the carburetor. Use a carburetor cleaner spray to clean the exterior of the carburetor. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris. Gently remove the fuel line from the carburetor. Be cautious as there may still be fuel in the line. Use the carburetor cleaner spray to clean the interior of the carburetor. Spray it into the different openings and passages to remove any accumulated residue. Use a small brush or a toothbrush to remove any stubborn dirt or debris. Attach the fuel line back to the carburetor. Replace the air filter and the air filter cover. Reconnect the spark plug wire.

To change the oil on the Viking MB 455 lawnmower, follow these steps: Ensure that the oil level is never too low and that the oil is changed regularly. Clean the cooling fins regularly to ensure optimal engine cooling. To change the cutting blades, use a wooden block to hold the cutting blade during disassembly. Loosen the blade screw(s) with a 17mm wrench and unscrew them along with the locking washer. Remove the cutting blade. If you have the MB 450 M or MB 455 M model, the cutting blade unit consists of an upper blade and a lower blade. These can be easily separated for sharpening. Adjust the wire if necessary. On new machines, the wire is usually properly adjusted, but there may be a need for adjustment due to clutch wear. Use the adjustment screw on the panel to adjust the wire. The correct setting is achieved when you press down the forward lever and pull the lawnmower backward. The drive wheels should lock when the lever is pressed down about one-third of the way.
