Toro 16-inch 17046 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro 16-inch 17046 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, and the oil level is adequate. Pull the starter handle briskly while holding the bar down against the handle.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends greater than 10%.
Sharpen the mower blade every 25 hours of use or at the beginning of each mowing season for optimal performance.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and verify that the air filter is clean. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact a service professional.
After use, turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug. Use a brush or compressed air to remove grass clippings and debris from the deck and blades.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel and move them to the desired position. Ensure all wheels are set at the same height for an even cut.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and cleaning the air filter, sharpening the blade, and checking the spark plug.
Drain the fuel tank, clean the mower thoroughly, and store it in a dry, sheltered area. Consider removing the battery if applicable.
Excessive vibration may be due to a loose or unbalanced blade. Turn off the mower, disconnect the spark plug, and inspect the blade for damage. Tighten or replace as needed.
To replace the spark plug, disconnect the spark plug wire, use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug, and install a new one with the correct gap setting. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
