To start the Toro Recycler 22-inch 20047 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, the oil level is adequate, and the spark plug is connected. Pull the starter handle firmly while holding the safety bar against the handle.
If the mower doesn't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is not fouled, and verify the air filter is clean. Additionally, inspect the fuel line for clogs and ensure the fuel is fresh.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours or at least once a season. Use SAE 30 detergent oil for best performance.
To clean the deck, remove the spark plug wire for safety, tilt the mower on its side with the air filter up, and use a hose to wash away grass clippings and debris. Avoid using a pressure washer.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the adjustment levers on each wheel, and move them to the desired position. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
If the mower leaves uncut grass, check if the blade is dull or damaged and sharpen or replace it if needed. Ensure the deck is clean and the grass is not too tall or wet.
To enhance mulching, mow when the grass is dry and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time. Ensure the blade is sharp and the deck is clean from buildup.
End-of-season maintenance includes draining the fuel system, changing the oil, cleaning the deck, and removing the spark plug for storage. Sharpen the blade and store the mower in a dry place.
To replace the air filter, remove the cover on the side of the engine, take out the old filter, and insert a new one. Ensure the filter is seated properly and replace the cover securely.
Use an NGK BPR6ES spark plug or equivalent for the Toro Recycler 22-inch 20047 Mower. Ensure the gap is set to 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) before installation.
