To start the Toro 21-inch 22700 Mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, the choke is engaged if the engine is cold, and the ignition switch is in the 'ON' position. Pull the starter handle firmly until the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 motor oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
The mower blade should be sharpened every 20-25 hours of use to maintain optimal cutting performance. Check for nicks or dullness and sharpen as needed.
Uneven cutting can be caused by a dull blade, incorrect mower deck height, or uneven tire pressure. Ensure the blade is sharp, the deck is level, and tires are equally inflated.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly clean or replace the air filter, use fresh fuel, maintain the correct tire pressure, and ensure the blade is sharp.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, sharpening the blade, inspecting the spark plug, and cleaning the mower deck.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position for your preferred grass height. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, inspect the air filter, and verify that the choke and throttle are correctly set.
To winterize the mower, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, remove the spark plug and add oil to the cylinder, clean the deck, and store the mower in a dry location.
Avoid mowing wet grass as it can cause clumping and clogging. If necessary, ensure the blade is sharp, raise the cutting height, and clean the deck frequently to prevent buildup.
