Got a landxcape 1700 mower - its new but not under any warranty - each time I plug it in in blows the 13amp plug fuse - Any suggestions? - apart from throwing it in the skip :-)

Hi Bucko,

Blows when you switch it on. Will check the cabling whenever it stops raining - thanks for your quick response.

Blows the fuse when you plug it in or when you switch it on? Both are serious. Carefully examine all the connections, cables and the motor if you can get access to it. Do this with the machine UNPLUGGED. For a guess you may well have run over the power cable and damaged it - I have several times - really negligent of me.
