How do I start the Toro Recycler 22-inch 21472 Mower?

To start the Toro Recycler 22-inch 21472 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, the oil level is adequate, and the spark plug is connected. Pull the starter handle gently until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply. Ensure the safety bar is held down while starting.

What should I do if the mower doesn't start?

If the mower doesn't start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and clean or replace it if necessary. Verify that the air filter is clean and not clogged. Finally, ensure the safety bar is engaged while starting.

How often should I change the oil in the Toro Recycler 21472 Mower?

Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then at least once every 25 hours of operation thereafter, or at the start of each mowing season. Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance.

What maintenance is required for the mower's blade?

Regularly check the mower blade for sharpness and damage. Sharpen the blade at least once a year or more frequently if needed. Replace the blade if it is severely damaged or worn. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing maintenance on the blade.

How do I clean the Toro Recycler 21472 Mower after use?

To clean the mower, first ensure it is turned off and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Use a garden hose to wash away grass clippings and debris from the deck. Avoid using a pressure washer as it may force water into the engine components.

What should I check if the mower is cutting unevenly?

If the mower cuts unevenly, check for a dull or bent blade, ensure the wheels are set at the same height, and verify that the deck is not clogged with grass. Adjust the wheel height settings and balance the blade if necessary.

How can I improve the mower's performance in tall grass?

To improve performance in tall grass, raise the cutting height, mow more frequently to avoid overgrowth, and ensure the blade is sharp. Consider mowing slower to allow the mower to handle the thicker grass efficiently.

What is the proper way to store the mower during the off-season?

Store the mower in a dry, protected area. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Clean the mower thoroughly and disconnect the spark plug wire. Consider removing the battery if applicable, and store it in a cool, dry place.

How do I adjust the self-propelled drive system?

To adjust the self-propelled drive system, locate the cable adjustment area near the handle. Loosen the lock nuts and adjust the cable tension until the drive engages smoothly. Tighten the lock nuts once the desired tension is achieved.

What should I do if the mower vibrates excessively during operation?

Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced or damaged blade. Check the blade for damage and balance. Inspect the engine mounting bolts and other fasteners to ensure they are tight. Replace any worn or damaged components.
