Does this mower start with a push button or does it have a key?

Actually, both! The mower has a two pronged "key" for the battery, and a push button on the handle bar to activate the mower.

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.

You have a key at the battery and you have to pull back and hold a lever, I highly recommend not purchasing, major battery problem !!!'

Actually, it has both. You drop the battery into place, push its handle down; then push the "key" into its slot, then press the circular orange button and squeeze the lever on the handle. Easy-peasy, I swear. As I always say, if monkeys can do it, so can I.

Actually both. There is a little key you insert in the battery that acts like a safety switch. It wiil not start unless it is in. Once you insert it you just push the button to start. I hope this helps. It really is a fantastic mower!

No there is no buttons to push. Just connect it to a wire or fuse boxthat has power when the key is on. I ordered the blue one as wellbut it was an Ugly purple color. I remove the electronics from thecase and the LED readouts are blue. I removed the puple lens,replaced it with a clear lens then put a some pirce of dark windowtint over the clear lens then it looked like it belongs in a auto.If you go to a place that does window tinting they will give youa scrap piece of tint.

You must pull the engine engage handle and then push the start button. If you just got your mower, you need to drain the preservative oil and put new oil in the mower before you begin to use the mower... last tip... charge the battery for the electric start before you begin to use the mower.

Did you turn the ignition key back to left? It has a backup safety, also, when you put mower in reverse, push back on Stick and it backs up little faster, another safety feature.

There is no key involved. Plug it into you extension cord and press the start handle to activate the snow blower.

It is about the same as pushing a lawn mower. It has a large engine so it will be a bit heavier to push. I use it with a back and forth motion rather than making turns. It is more narrow than a lawn mower and it is top heavy, so be careful mowing across inclines.

All you need to do is attach the push handle to the mower. It's quick, easy and within the ability of anyone that owns a screw driver.

For manual operation you push the flap that you lift to program...there are 4 little pressure switches (one in each corner) behind the flap.

In my experience I've only seen two different types of lawnmower keys one of them is shorter than the other. I have bought both for my mower which is a craftsman and the longer one worked more efficiently and the small one worked also but it I really had to shove it in there to make it start. If you remember what your old lawn mower key looks like if it was about an inch long I would go with the longer one but if you remember it being shorter than an inch I would definitely look up but a different key. But with this price it wouldn't hurt to try this key.

John- The Automatic lever has forward and by moving lever to the side will go back into reverse, this is with the mower deck disengaged, to get it to go into reverse with the mower deck engaged the ignition key has to be in the proper setting, refer to owners manual for that info

You have to pull as hard as an pull start lawnmower. I have arthritis too and that is why I got this one with remote start. Plus you have electric start button on unit. You only need pull start if battery goes dead on unit. I turn off the switch on mine when not using it, so battery will last longer.

I had a similar problem with a new mower. Try pushing the start button in and holding it in until, hopefully, the blade moves.

No. It is a simple push button. Probably easy to get pushed unless you keep some small bubble wrap in a ziplock bag?

Mower starters are pretty basic, only the head interchanges for many models, you can always find your mower's engine number and cross reference it.

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

It is truly a push-button start. It works well. The only problem I have had is when it got down to 10 below, the little battery would not turn it over. I fixed that with a $20 trickle charger. Now the battery stays up and warm. Starts good.

No, there's no push button to start. To start, you sort of turn the handle on the bar, like you would start a motorcycle.
