If the electric start on a Hayter Harrier 56 is not working despite the battery being fully charged, the issue could be:
1. Faulty Ignition Key or Connection – Ensure the ignition key is properly inserted and making contact. 2. Loose or Damaged Wiring – Check for any disconnected or damaged wires between the battery and the starter. 3. Starter Motor Issue – The starter motor may be faulty or stuck. 4. Battery Connection Problems – Even if the battery is charged, loose or corroded terminals can prevent proper power flow. 5. Faulty Battery – The battery may hold a charge but not deliver enough power to start the engine. 6. Blown Fuse – A blown fuse in the electrical system could prevent the starter from working.
Checking these components systematically can help diagnose the issue.

OPERATING THE MOWER Controls Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers return freely to their rest position when released. Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance should be felt when moving the lever to the ‘choke’...
OPERATING MOWER Electric Start (Electric start Only) Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar together with the engine stop lever. Turn the ignition key in a clockwise direction and hold in position to crank the engine. When the engine starts release the key and move the throttle to the fast position after starting a cold engine.
OPERATING THE MOWER Slopes To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Height of Cut To adjust the height of cut: Grip the lever and pull sideways to dis- engage it from the locking notch, then push forwards to lower or pull backwards to raise the height of cut.
OPERATING MOWER Without Grass Collection Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in the closed position. CS386 Heavy Growth Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the clip- pings. If collection is required, first mow the area without the grassbag at the maximum height of cut setting.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR To be used as a guide only. January There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged. February Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.
LAWN CARE CALENDAR August Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weath- er conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture. September Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the roots from the winter frost and snow.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service will be required if working for prolonged periods under dusty, dry conditions, or when airborne debris is present or after extensive operation cutting tall, dry grass.

Secure the cutterblade using the bolt (1), spring washer (2), and distance piece (3) and tighten to a torque of 54Nm Cutterblade Sharpening 30°-45° A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened.
MOWER MAINTENANCE Storage To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficient- ly to allow it to be pivoted forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being dam- aged through contact with the engine.
