Toro Recycler 40-cm 21020 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro Recycler 40-cm 21020 Mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, the oil level is sufficient, and the spark plug is connected. Press the primer bulb a few times, engage the safety lever, and pull the starter cord firmly upward.
If the mower doesn't start, check the fuel level and oil, ensure the spark plug is connected and clean, and inspect the air filter for blockages. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact Toro support for further assistance.
To improve cutting performance, regularly sharpen the blades, adjust the cutting height to suit grass conditions, and mow when the grass is dry. Ensure the underside of the mower deck is clean to prevent clippings buildup.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil before each use, cleaning the mower deck after each mowing session, sharpening the blades every 25 hours of operation, and changing the oil and spark plug annually.
To change the oil, run the engine briefly to warm it, then turn off the mower and disconnect the spark plug. Tilt the mower and drain the old oil into a suitable container. Refill with the recommended oil type and quantity, then reconnect the spark plug.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends exceeding 10% as they can damage the engine.
Adjust the cutting height by moving the lever located on each wheel. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Excessive vibration may indicate a damaged or unbalanced blade. Inspect and sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Also, check for debris lodged in the mower deck or damaged components.
After use, disconnect the spark plug, then use a garden hose to rinse the mower deck. Scrape off stubborn grass clippings with a plastic scraper. Dry the mower thoroughly before storing.
Ensure the blades are sharp and correctly installed. Check the cutting height settings and adjust if necessary. Mow at a slower pace if the grass is very tall or dense.
