To start the Toro 21-inch 26680 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Pull the safety handle lever towards the handlebar, then pull the starter handle briskly.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Inspect the spark plug for damage or residue, and clean or replace it if necessary. Also, check the air filter for clogs.
Change the oil in your Toro 21-inch 26680 Mower after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season.
To clean the mower deck, disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris. Avoid using high-pressure water to prevent damage to the bearings.
Ensure the blade is sharp and balanced. Regularly clean the underside of the deck to prevent grass buildup, and mow in dry conditions to ensure an even cut.
Excessive vibration may be due to an unbalanced blade or debris lodged in the blade area. Check the blade for damage and balance it if necessary. Remove any debris from the mower's deck.
Adjust the cutting height by using the height adjustment lever located on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired height setting, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
At the end of the season, perform an oil change, clean the mower deck, sharpen the blade, and drain fuel from the tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Also, check and clean the air filter and spark plug.
Ensure that the mower blades are sharp and balanced, and that the wheels are adjusted to the same height. Check for any obstructions under the deck and inspect the tires for even inflation.
It is not recommended to use the mower on wet grass, as it can lead to uneven cuts, clumping, and potential damage to the lawnmower. Wait until the grass is dry for optimal results.
