To start the Toro ProLine 42-inch 78420 mower, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the throttle is set to the 'Fast' position. Turn the key to the 'Start' position, and release it once the engine starts.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and inspect the spark plug for damage or wear. Also, verify that the safety switches are functioning properly.
Change the oil in the Toro ProLine 42-inch 78420 mower every 50 hours of operation or at least once a season. Always use the oil type recommended in the owner's manual.
Regularly clean under the mower deck to prevent grass buildup. Check and sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use, and inspect the belts and pulleys for wear or damage.
For uneven cutting, check if the blades are sharp and properly balanced. Ensure the tire pressure is even on all tires and the deck is level. Adjust the deck height if necessary.
The recommended tire pressure for the Toro ProLine 42-inch 78420 mower is typically 12-15 psi. Refer to the tire sidewall or the owner's manual for precise specifications.
To clean the air filter, remove the filter cover and take out the filter. For paper filters, gently tap to remove dirt or replace it if necessary. For foam filters, wash with mild detergent and water, then let it dry completely before reinstalling.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly maintain the engine by changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, and using fresh, clean fuel. Keeping the blades sharp and properly inflated tires also helps.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, loose hardware, or a damaged pulley. Check and secure all fasteners, balance the blades, and inspect the pulleys for damage.
For off-season storage, clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, and remove the battery. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and cover the mower to protect it from dust and moisture.
