How do I start the Toro ProLine Recycler 21-inch 22160 Mower?

To start the mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the throttle to the choke position if the engine is cold, pull the recoil starter handle gently until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply.

What should I do if the mower does not start?

If the mower does not start, check if there is sufficient fuel and oil. Ensure the spark plug is connected properly, and inspect it for damage or wear. If necessary, clean or replace the spark plug.

How often should I change the oil in my Toro ProLine Recycler 21-inch 22160 Mower?

It is recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then after every 25 hours of use or at the start of each mowing season.

What maintenance is required for the mower blade?

Inspect the mower blade regularly for nicks or dullness. Sharpen the blade after every 25 hours of use to ensure optimal performance. Replace the blade if it is damaged or excessively worn.

How can I improve the mower's cutting performance?

To improve cutting performance, keep the deck and blades clean from grass build-up, ensure the blade is sharp, and adjust the cutting height to suit the grass length and conditions.

What should I do if the mower vibrates excessively during operation?

Excessive vibration may indicate a damaged blade or loose parts. Check for a bent or unbalanced blade and inspect all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight.

How do I clean the cutting deck of the mower?

After turning off and disconnecting the spark plug, use a hose to wash away grass clippings and debris from the cutting deck. Avoid using excessive water near the engine or electrical components.

How can I troubleshoot uneven cutting patterns?

Uneven cutting can be caused by a dull blade, incorrect tire pressure, or an improperly leveled deck. Sharpen the blade, check tire pressure, and adjust the deck height as needed.

What should I do if the mower's self-propel function is not working?

Check the drive cable for proper tension and adjust it if necessary. Inspect the belt for wear or damage and replace it if needed. Ensure the drive wheels are clean and free of obstructions.

How do I store the mower during the off-season?

Before storing, run the engine until it stops to use up all fuel, change the oil, clean the mower, and store it in a dry, covered location. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
