To start the Toro GrandStand 79518 Mower, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the motion control levers are in the neutral position. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
If the mower is not cutting evenly, check the blade sharpness and balance. Ensure the deck is level and the tire pressure is consistent. Adjust the deck height as needed and inspect the spindles and belts for wear.
Regular maintenance should be performed after every 25 hours of use. This includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting and cleaning the air filter, and checking the spark plugs and belts. Detailed maintenance schedules can be found in the owner's manual.
Toro recommends using SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. Always check the engine manufacturer's specifications for the exact oil requirements.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and inspect the spark plug for wear. Verify that the safety interlock system is functioning correctly and that the air filter is clean.
The recommended tire pressure for the Toro GrandStand 79518 is 13 psi for the rear tires and 20 psi for the front tires. Regularly check the tire pressure to ensure optimal performance and safety.
To adjust the cutting height, use the deck height adjustment lever located near the operator platform. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position. Ensure the deck is level for an even cut.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose hardware, or worn-out components. Check the blades for balance and damage, tighten any loose parts, and inspect the mower for worn or damaged components.
To clean the mower deck, ensure the engine is off and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Use a scraper or brush to remove grass clippings and debris. Hose down the deck with water and allow it to dry completely before storing the mower.
Replace the mower blades when they become dull, bent, or damaged. Regular inspection of the blades should be part of your maintenance routine, ideally after every 25 hours of use or if you notice uneven cutting.
