Toro 36-inch 30329 Operator's Manual

To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers positioned on the wheels. Move the levers to your desired cutting height position, ensuring all wheels are set equally for an even cut.
First, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Examine the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the battery is charged and connections are secure. Consult the manual for further troubleshooting steps.
Blades should be sharpened after every 20 to 25 hours of use, or whenever you notice a decline in cutting performance. Dull blades can tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 motor oil. Check the engine manual for specific recommendations based on your climate and operating conditions.
To clean the deck, turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris. For stuck-on grass, use a plastic scraper. Ensure the deck is dry before storing to prevent rust.
Regular maintenance is key. Change the air filter and spark plug annually, keep the blades sharp, and ensure tires are properly inflated. Use fresh, clean fuel to optimize performance.
Drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and clean the mower thoroughly. Store the mower in a dry area to protect it from the elements.
Ensure that the blades are sharp and balanced. Adjust the cutting height to match the grass type and condition. Mow when the grass is dry and alternate mowing patterns to prevent turf wear.
Check for debris caught in the blade or under the deck. Inspect the blade for damage and ensure it is properly balanced. Verify that all bolts and fasteners are tight.
First, disconnect the spark plug and remove the deck. Release the belt tension and remove the old belt from pulleys. Install the new belt, ensuring it is seated correctly on all pulleys, and reassemble the deck.
