Key switch or the toggle switch is where I have had previous issues. You can bypass them with a length of wire and if it starts thats the defective part. New heavy duty switches available at local parts house. Good luck.

I used the mower on Saturday and it still had a small charge left but I was going to use it again on Sunday and charged the battery off the mower. On Sunday it would not start and the battery showed a full charge. I called the 1-888 number on the mower. Service rep was polite and had me go thru a checklist and still the mower would not start. The company said it was going to send me a new battery. One thing, the rep said I was suppose to charge to battery in winter every two weeks. I remember only that I was to charge the battery several times in the winter so,it did not completely drain, which I did.

Push the button in (on right handle) then pull the bar/bale towards you...when all the way...release the button - should start ...except mine didn't...Congratulations if it does. If not call 1-888-909-6757 & have model # handy...ask for manual too!

I solved my problem - faulty safety switch - by buying a different mill. Even if you fix the start switch it seems certain you will soon face another problem. I decided to cut my Losses.

I made sure all the connections were the same (marked them) as I took off the old power supply and mine started right up. Maybe you have something connected incorrectly to the motherboard that relays power from the start button, good luck.

i'm mechanically inclined so i'd tear it apart and find the problem area. start at the back of the unit and follow the owners manual breakdown of parts (schematic).

Mower has a "dead man's" throttle. I.E. it's only on as long as a lever is held down (on the handle that you push to mow the grass). It is turned on by simultaneously holding this lever down and pushing a separate start button . Don't buy. Lousy user unfriendly Design.

I can't answer that. I owne a swisher. There are videos on line that might be of some help.

Make sure the blade rotation start is off. Mower will not operate in reverse with blade rotating lever in on position.

I had problems starting mine as well. However, after reading the instructions more closely I realized I was not following the directions correctly. Make sure that you follow the starting directions exactly. Since then I have used my saw numerous times and it starts every time.

I have had the same problem with my brand new Husqvarna 435. I have pulled on it over a hundred times and it will not start. The local service repair center was able to start it after making carburetor adjustments. But, when I got it home, back to square one...it will not start. A real piece of junk.

Happy to help the mower is a pull I have only pulled it once and starts every one! Hope that helped

Assuming that you have the same model as mine, there is a red knob on the front of the motor that must be in the "on" position. You can start the mower with it in the off position, but it will not keep running. Once I remembered to do this, I have been able to start the motor with one or two pulls. Great machine.

We are having that exact problem. We contacted wolvol, but they wouldn't simply tell us whether there was a hard reset. Instead, they offered to repair it if we sent it back to them. Still not sure if that was a great idea, but we sent it (plus a$10 repair fee), now waiting to see how it turns out.

The mowers self-propel will still work even if the mower blades are not on. To turn on the blades you need the safety key IN and you need to be holding in the button on the right of the handle while pulling back the blade engage lever. This will make a much louder sound than when the blades are off and that's how you'll know its fully on! I hope this helps
