What Victa doesnt tell you is you should safely remove all grass that is stuck under your mower deck and then spray with WD40 this helps to preserve the metal and stop grass sticky..too easy.
I got the 18” VICTA SUPER MULCHER From Bunnings too and the instruction booklet is useless. This video is also the same. It offers not enough help to a first timer. So, the two separate handles that were loose in the box came in two separate parts with some kind of springy clips down the bottom on the little handle and no holes that seem to logically match up anywhere. Both handles were loose in the box and were not attached to anything. The pictures in the USELESS INSTRUCTION BOOKLET aren’t specific enough. I bought the same mower, but in the video the handles are already attached. I have the same mower but different setting up is required and I can’t figure out how the two handles go together or fit on to the chassis. And where is the mulching plug? What do I do with it, where does it go, what does it do? You didn’t explain that at all??? Just glossed over it. No help there either. In Bunnings there aren’t any mowers to go and view that are already set up/ assembled as an example. Not user friendly or helpful at all.
Victas Manual that comes with the mower is trash. Full of jargon and is so confusing for beginners. Are there only 80 year old timers in the company who expect everyone to know every parts of a lawn mower?
