Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 247.377440 is a gas-powered lawn mower produced by Sears Brands. This machine's primary attribute is its Briggs & Stratton engine with a displacement of 163 cc. It uses unleaded gasoline as fuel and SAE 30 as oil. The mower is equipped with a 21-inch cutting deck, which can be adjusted to cut grass between 1 and 3.75 inches in height across seven available positions. The mower can be powered on both manually, using the recoil starter, or electrically with a rechargeable battery and push key start.
This mower is a self-propelled walk-behind model with variable speed rear-wheel drive, which can be controlled via a squeeze lever on the handlebar. It can either discharge grass clippings from the side or mulch them back onto the lawn. This mower also includes a 2.4 bushel rear grass collection bag. The mower should be serviced annually, including an oil change, new spark plug, blade inspection, and air filter cleaning. The blade can be removed and sharpened or replaced as necessary. Before storing, it is recommended to empty the fuel system and thoroughly clean the mower to prevent corrosion. The rechargeable battery needs to be kept fully charged when not in use to maximize its lifespan.
