Toro GrandStand Revolution Turbo Force 132-cm 18850TE Operator's Manual

To start the mower, ensure the battery is charged, set the parking brake, place the PTO switch in the 'Off' position, and turn the ignition key to the 'Start' position. Release the key once the engine starts.
Check the battery charge, ensure the ignition switch is functioning, verify the PTO switch is off, and confirm that the fuel tank is not empty. Additionally, inspect the spark plugs and fuel lines for any issues.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and replacing air filters, sharpening blades, and checking tire pressure. Additionally, lubricate moving parts and inspect belts for wear.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring both sides are set equally for an even cut.
Check the PTO switch and ensure it is in the 'On' position. Inspect the mower belt for damage or misalignment, and check the electric clutch connection for any issues.
Clean the mower thoroughly, remove any debris, and perform necessary maintenance. Store it in a dry, covered area, disconnect the battery, and consider using a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation.
To change the oil, run the engine briefly to warm it up, then turn it off. Place a pan under the oil drain plug, remove the plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the plug, fill with new oil, and check the level with the dipstick.
Regular maintenance such as keeping the air filter clean, using the correct oil, ensuring the blades are sharp, and operating at the recommended speed can improve fuel efficiency.
Check for debris stuck in the blades or mower deck. Inspect the blades for damage or imbalance, and ensure all bolts are tight. If vibration persists, have the mower professionally inspected.
Blades should be sharpened every 25-30 hours of use or whenever you notice a decline in cutting performance. Replace blades if they show signs of damage like cracks or excessive wear.
