To start the Toro 53-cm 20708 mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, the throttle is in the starting position, and the blade control bar is depressed. Pull the starter handle firmly.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. It is recommended to use fresh fuel to ensure optimal performance.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25 hours or at the beginning of each mowing season.
After each use, disconnect the spark plug wire, tilt the mower, and use a hose to wash away grass clippings and debris from the underside of the mower deck.
Remove the blade from the mower and use a file or bench grinder to sharpen the cutting edges. Ensure the blade is balanced before reattaching it.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and examine the air filter for blockages. If issues persist, consult the user manual or a professional.
Locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel and set the desired height by moving the levers simultaneously to the preferred position.
Inspect the air filter before each use. Clean or replace it if it is dirty or damaged to ensure proper engine performance.
Ensure the grass bag is not full, the blade is sharp, and the mowing speed is appropriate for the grass conditions. Adjust the cutting height as needed.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced blade or a loose part. Inspect the blade for damage and secure all nuts and bolts.
