To start the Toro 21-inch 20695 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Engage the safety lever, pull the starter cord with a steady motion, and release the safety lever once the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F. Always refer to the user manual for specific recommendations for your mower.
The blade should be sharpened every 25 hours of mowing or at least once per mowing season to maintain optimal performance.
Check the fuel level, inspect the spark plug for wear, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify all cables are connected properly. If issues persist, consult a professional technician.
After ensuring the engine is off and the spark plug wire is disconnected, use a hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris. For thorough cleaning, use a brush and mild detergent to scrub the deck.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage, ensure the drive cable is properly adjusted, and inspect the transmission for issues. Replace or adjust components as necessary.
To change the oil, run the engine briefly to warm it up. Stop the engine, remove the oil fill cap, and tip the mower to drain the oil into a suitable container. Refill with new oil and replace the cap.
Ensure the blade is sharp and properly balanced. Check the deck height is set evenly and adjust as needed. Additionally, mow at a slower pace to allow the blade to cut effectively.
Clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, empty the fuel tank, and disconnect the spark plug wire. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from the elements.
Check the air filter every 25 hours of use. Clean or replace it if it appears dirty or damaged to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
