Where to Find Your Bung?
- Flip your mower over.
- Locate the cables coming out of the machine.
- Check that the rubber seals keeping the holes sealed are firmly in place.
Why Is This Important?
- Prevent Damage: Dirt, water, and grass clippings can easily sneak inside your mower, leading to potential damage.
- Avoid Moisture Issues: Moisture can damage key components like the front loop sensor board.
Pro Tip: Sticks or debris on your lawn can sometimes dislodge the bung. Regularly checking and cleaning your mower helps keep it in top shape. Keeping those bungs secure is crucial to prevent grass and moisture from getting inside and causing trouble.
