Toro Recycler 22-inch 20052 Operator's Manual

To start the mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, the ignition key is inserted, and the blade control lever is engaged. Then, pull the starter handle firmly.
Regular maintenance should include checking the oil level before each use, cleaning the undercarriage after mowing, and sharpening the blades every 25 hours of use. Annual tasks include changing the oil, replacing the spark plug, and inspecting the air filter.
Check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Examine the spark plug for wear or damage, and inspect the air filter for clogs. Ensure the blade control lever is fully engaged.
The cutting height can be adjusted by using the height adjustment levers located on each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the mower deck.
Empty the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil, clean the mower thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
First, disconnect the spark plug wire to ensure safety. Tilt the mower to access the blade. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolt and replace the old blade with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned. Tighten the bolt securely.
Toro recommends using SAE 30 detergent oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 10W-30 for a wider temperature range. Check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Ensure the blade is sharp and the deck is clean. Mow when the grass is dry and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade height. Use a slower mowing speed for better mulching results.
Check for debris caught in the blade or under the deck. Inspect the blade for damage or imbalance and ensure it is securely fastened. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
The air filter should be checked before each use and replaced annually or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. A clean air filter ensures optimal engine performance.
