To start the Toro 21-inch 26642 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Engage the blade control and pull the starter handle firmly.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Blades should be sharpened after approximately 25 hours of use or more frequently if you notice reduced cutting performance.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and verify that the air filter is clean. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, use a garden hose to rinse off debris, and scrape away any grass buildup with a plastic scraper.
Perform basic maintenance every 25 hours of use, including changing the oil, checking the air filter, and inspecting the spark plug.
Adjust the mower's cutting height, ensure the tires are properly inflated, and mow across slopes rather than up and down.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug, and install a new plug with the correct gap.
Check for loose parts, inspect the blade for damage, and ensure the engine mounting bolts are tight.
Drain the fuel tank, change the oil, clean the mower thoroughly, and store it in a dry, sheltered location.
