Husqvarna LC221FHE 21 in 163 cc 4-Stroke Walk-Behind Mower with Electric Start and Mulching Capability UNEVEN CUT Error Fix: Uneven Cutting Height

Error code UNEVEN CUT on the Husqvarna LC221FHE 21 in 163 cc 4-Stroke Walk-Behind Mower with Electric Start and Mulching Capability means: Uneven Cutting Height. The mower does not cut evenly, leaving ridges, high spots, or scalping in some areas — causes include a bent blade, unequal tire pressure (all tires should be the same PSI), a deck that is not level, one or more wheels at different height settings, or a dull blade that tears rather than cuts; a bent crankshaft (from hitting a rock or stump) causes the blade to orbit unevenly creating a distinctive circular pattern in the cut; check blade balance after sharpening
