Toro Recycler 48-cm 20831 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro Recycler 48-cm 20831 Mower, ensure that the fuel valve is open. Set the throttle to the 'Fast' position, then pull the starter cord firmly. The mower should start after a few pulls.
If the mower won't start, check for fuel and oil levels, ensure the spark plug is connected, and clean the air filter. If these steps do not work, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting.
To improve cutting performance, regularly sharpen the mower blade, mow when the grass is dry, and adjust the cutting height according to the lawn conditions.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, and sharpening the blade as needed.
To change the oil, run the engine to warm it up, then turn it off and disconnect the spark plug. Tilt the mower and remove the oil fill cap to drain the old oil. Refill with new oil and replace the cap.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
Adjust the cutting height by using the height adjustment levers located on each wheel. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Excessive vibration might be due to an unbalanced blade or debris lodged in the mower deck. Check and clean the deck, and inspect the blade for damage or imbalance.
For off-season storage, clean the mower thoroughly, empty the fuel tank, change the oil, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starts.
Always wear protective gear such as gloves and safety goggles. Keep children and pets at a safe distance, and never refuel the mower while it is running or hot.
