How do I clean the mower deck after use?

How often should I sharpen the mower blade?

Sharpen the mower blade at least once a season or after every 25 hours of use. Inspect the blade regularly for nicks or dullness, and sharpen or replace as needed.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for this mower?

Perform a basic maintenance check before each use. Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 50 hours or annually. Clean the air filter every 25 hours or more frequently in dusty conditions.

How do I adjust the cutting height on the Toro Recycler 21-inch 20103 Mower?

To adjust the cutting height, move the wheel height adjustment levers located at each wheel. Ensure all four wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
