To start the Toro FlexForce 21836 Mower, first ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Then, press and hold the safety button while pulling the bail lever towards the handle to start the motor.
If the mower doesn't start, check the battery charge and ensure it is properly connected. Inspect the safety key and ensure the bail lever is fully engaged. If issues persist, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
To maintain the battery, store it at room temperature and avoid extreme heat or cold. Charge the battery after each use and avoid letting it fully discharge. Clean the contacts regularly to ensure a good connection.
Regularly inspect the mower blade for damage and sharpness. Sharpen the blade at least once per season or more frequently if necessary. Always disconnect the battery before attempting any maintenance.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
If the mower cuts unevenly, check if the wheels are set at different heights. Ensure the blade is sharp and not damaged. Additionally, inspect for any debris buildup around the blade that might affect its rotation.
After use, remove the battery and brush off grass clippings from the mower deck. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using a hose or pressure washer to prevent water damage to electrical components.
Store the mower in a dry, cool place. Remove and store the battery separately at room temperature. Clean the mower and ensure all maintenance is up to date before storage.
If the mower stops unexpectedly, check the battery charge and ensure it is securely connected. Inspect the mower for any obstructions or debris around the blade. Restart the mower following the standard starting procedure.
Service the mower at least once a year or more frequently if used heavily. This includes blade sharpening, checking battery health, and inspecting for any mechanical issues. Refer to the user manual for detailed service guidelines.
