To start the Toro 53-cm 20713 Mower, ensure the mower is on a flat surface. Check that the fuel valve is open and the spark plug is connected. Then, pull the starter handle firmly until the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). In colder conditions, use SAE 5W-30 for easier starting.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours of operation or at least once per mowing season.
Check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Verify the spark plug connection and clean or replace it if necessary. Also, ensure the air filter is clean and not clogged.
Adjust the cutting height by using the lever located near each wheel. Move the lever to the desired height setting, ensuring all wheels are set to the same position for an even cut.
Refer to the owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules, but generally, inspect the mower before each use, change the oil every 25 hours, and sharpen the blade at least once per season.
After each use, remove grass clippings from the mower deck by using a hose or a scraper. Ensure the mower is turned off and the spark plug is disconnected before cleaning.
Check for debris lodged in the blade or under the deck. Ensure the blade is balanced and securely fastened. If vibrations persist, inspect for bent or damaged parts and repair as needed.
Locate the air filter cover on the side of the engine, remove the cover, take out the old filter, and replace it with a new one. Ensure the filter is properly seated before replacing the cover.
Run the engine until the fuel is exhausted to prevent fuel system issues. Change the oil, clean the deck, and store the mower in a dry, sheltered location. Disconnect the spark plug for safety.
