Toro Recycler 22-inch 21462 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro Recycler 22-inch 21462 mower, ensure the fuel tank is full and the oil level is correct. Press the primer bulb three times, pull the safety bar to the handle, and then pull the starter rope.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Ensure the oil is of high quality and meets API service classifications.
Blades should be sharpened after every 20-25 hours of mowing. Check the blades regularly for nicks or dullness and sharpen as necessary for optimal performance.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and inspect the air filter for blockages. Make sure the primer bulb was pressed the correct number of times and that the safety bar is engaged.
To clean the deck, ensure the mower is off and disconnect the spark plug. Use a hose to spray underneath the deck, removing grass clippings and debris. For stubborn buildup, use a brush or scraper.
Ensure the blade is sharp and balanced. Mow when the grass is dry, and adjust the cutting height to match the grass type and length. Overlapping mowing paths can also improve cut quality.
At the end of the season, drain the fuel, change the oil, clean the air filter, and inspect the spark plug. Store the mower in a dry place and cover it to protect against dust and moisture.
Locate the air filter cover on the side of the engine. Remove the cover, take out the old filter, and insert a new one. Secure the cover back in place. Check your user manual for specific instructions.
Yes, the Toro Recycler 22-inch 21462 is designed for mulching. Ensure the mulching plug is in place and that the blade is sharp. Mulching works best with dry grass and regular mowing intervals.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced or damaged blade. Check the blade for damage and ensure it's properly secured. If necessary, replace the blade or have it balanced by a professional.
