To start the Toro 3.5 HP 58435 Edger, ensure the fuel valve is open, the throttle is set to 'START', and the choke is engaged. Pull the starter cord firmly until the engine starts.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the adjustment knob located near the blade, set the desired depth, and then tighten the knob securely.
Check for obstructions around the blade, ensure the drive belt is intact and properly tensioned, and inspect the blade engagement mechanism for any issues.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each season.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level before each use, cleaning the air filter every 25 hours, and inspecting the spark plug annually.
To replace the blade, disconnect the spark plug, remove the bolt securing the blade, replace it with a new one, and tighten the bolt securely.
Check for a clogged air filter, dirty spark plug, or old fuel. Clean or replace the air filter, replace the spark plug if needed, and use fresh fuel.
Ensure proper ventilation by keeping the cooling fins clean and clear. Regularly check and clean the air filter to maintain optimal airflow.
Drain the fuel tank, change the oil, clean the edger thoroughly, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Disconnect the spark plug for safety.
