No way the first video I search for my same lawn mower and the creator has the same Benz as me 💀

😮

Saw another video where guy found no drain for oil in the M220. To have designed a mower with no oil drain is unbelievable. I bought a used one yesterday, and I now wish 18 hours later that I had never bought it.

[@lifeofdanlaw]

Yeah, it’s crazy. It should have a draining system. BTW you can do exactly what I did in the video. Will work though.

How much oil u need to put in I just want to make sure don't put to much

[@lifeofdanlaw]

There is a point / mark in the stick, don't go beyond that point.

[@andraeb1981]

[@lifeofdanlaw]

Oh yeah, it was a lot indeed

[@DZ-qj4yh]

Just bought this mower and had multiple problems right out of the box... First, didn't realize I had to unscrew and pull the handle out. I thought it was weird because the nut kept rubbing the tire and then I couldn't pull the rope to start because the rest of the handle was blocking the blade. Next, once I got the mower started it was just pumping white smoke and spewing oil. I thought it was weird that they included an empty oil container although it had a tiny amount of oil left. I thought 'Wow... How cheap they gave me a recycled oil container to measure how much oil to put in...' Anyways, I used it to measure the 15ml of oil the directions said to put... Come to find out they already filled the brand new, still in the box mower with oil so at this point this mower had 30ml of oil in it... Once I drained it, I learned that the oil level should be no higher than the top line on the dip stick. Now with those problems resolved the mower is working fine no smoke or oil spewing. My neighbor was helping me and said that if it continued to smoke then the spark plug could be fouled and would need to be cleaned. Here's hoping this info helps the next person!

I saw this same message on a different site

[@JustinW007]

@@xavierharris7700was probably me 😅. 6-month update, the mower works great, cuts through clover patches no problem. It came with a bag attachment and that grass blower attachment which is my favorite.
