To start the Toro 420 72201 Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the transmission is in neutral. Turn the ignition key to the 'Start' position and release it once the engine starts.
It is recommended to perform maintenance every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. This includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, and checking the tire pressure and battery.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank has fuel, and verify the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. Also, ensure the safety switches are engaged.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil that meets API service classification SJ or higher for optimal performance.
To replace the blade, ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Remove the deck, secure the blade with a block of wood, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolt. Replace with a new blade and tighten securely.
If the tractor is not cutting evenly, check the tire pressure, make sure the blades are sharp and balanced, and ensure the deck is level. Adjust the deck height as necessary.
To engage the blade, start the engine, set the throttle to high, and pull the PTO switch up to engage the blades.
For winter storage, clean the tractor, perform routine maintenance, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank, and store in a dry, covered area. Disconnect the battery and charge periodically.
To improve traction on slopes, ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider using tire chains or adding wheel weights. Reduce speed and avoid sharp turns.
If the tractor vibrates excessively, check for debris or damage on the blades, ensure they are balanced, and inspect the pulleys and belts for wear. Tighten any loose components.
