Toro ProLine Hydro 36-inch 30290 Operator's Manual

To start the mower, ensure that the parking brake is engaged, the blade control switch is off, and the motion control levers are in the neutral position. Then, turn the ignition key to the start position.
Use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 motor oil for optimal performance, depending on the ambient temperature. Refer to the user manual for specific recommendations.
Blades should be sharpened after every 25 hours of mowing or if you notice a decrease in cutting performance. Regular sharpening ensures a clean cut and healthy turf.
Adjust the cutting height by moving the lever located near the wheels. Ensure the mower is on a flat surface and the engine is off before making adjustments.
Check for fuel and oil levels, inspect the spark plug, and ensure the battery is charged. Also, verify that all safety switches are engaged.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, sharpening blades, and inspecting belts and hoses for wear.
To clean the mower deck, use a garden hose to remove grass clippings and debris after each use. Ensure the engine is off and cool before cleaning.
Check for unbalanced or damaged blades, loose bolts, or debris lodged in the mower deck. Tighten any loose components and replace damaged blades if necessary.
Refer to the user manual for specific instructions, but generally, you'll need to remove the mower deck, release belt tension, and replace the old belt with a new one.
Always wear appropriate safety gear, keep hands and feet away from moving parts, and be aware of surroundings. Do not operate the mower on steep slopes.
