Perform regular maintenance including changing the oil every 25 hours of use, cleaning or replacing the air filter every 25 hours, and sharpening the blade as needed.

How do I troubleshoot if the mower doesn't start?

Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and verify that the air filter is not clogged. Also, make sure the blade control lever is engaged.

What type of fuel should I use in the Toro ProLine Recycler 21-inch 22038 Mower?

How can I adjust the cutting height on the mower?

To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for even cutting.

Why is the mower not cutting grass evenly?

Uneven cutting may be caused by a dull blade, incorrect cutting height, or uneven tire pressure. Sharpen the blade, check and adjust the cutting height, and ensure all tires are equally inflated.

Ensure the engine is off and the spark plug is disconnected. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris from the deck. Avoid using high-pressure water, as it can damage components.
