To start the Toro Recycler 21-inch 20349 mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Press the primer bulb three times, pull the safety bar to the handle, and then pull the starter rope with a smooth, steady motion.
If the mower won't start, check for fresh fuel, clean the air filter, inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, and ensure the primer bulb is working correctly. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact Toro customer support.
To improve cutting performance, ensure the blade is sharp, the deck is clean of debris, and the mower is set to the appropriate cutting height for your lawn. Regular maintenance and cleaning can also enhance performance.
Routine maintenance includes checking and replacing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, sharpening the blade, and inspecting the spark plug. It's also important to clean the mower deck and check for any loose bolts or parts.
To adjust the cutting height on the Toro Recycler mower, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position to raise or lower the cutting height. Make sure all wheels are set to the same height for even cutting.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced or damaged blade. Check the blade for damage and ensure it is properly secured. If the blade is bent or damaged, replace it immediately.
To clean the mower deck, first ensure the mower is off and the spark plug is disconnected. Use a garden hose to wash away grass clippings and debris. A scraper can be used to remove stubborn buildup. Dry the deck thoroughly before storage.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then at least once per season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Always use the type of oil recommended in the user manual.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol, as it can damage the engine.
For off-season storage, clean the mower thoroughly, remove all fuel from the tank, and change the oil. Store the mower in a dry, covered area. It's advisable to remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder to prevent rusting.
