Toro Recycler 55-cm 20658 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro Recycler 55-cm 20658 mower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb three times. Pull the starter handle while holding down the safety bar.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level before each use, cleaning the air filter every 25 hours of operation, sharpening the blade annually, and replacing the spark plug every season or after 100 hours of use.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height level.
Check for fuel in the tank and ensure the spark plug is connected. Verify that the air filter is clean and the engine is primed properly. If it still won't start, inspect the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary.
To enhance mulching, mow when the grass is dry, maintain a sharp blade, and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to prevent clogging.
Use SAE 30 motor oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Ensure the mower is off and disconnect the spark plug wire. Tilt the mower on its side and use a garden hose to rinse away grass clippings. Avoid spraying water directly into the engine.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced or damaged blade. Inspect the blade for damage and ensure it is properly balanced and securely fastened. Replace if necessary.
Clean the mower thoroughly, remove fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, and perform regular maintenance tasks such as changing the oil and spark plug. Store in a dry, cool place.
Ensure the blade is sharp and properly installed. Check that the wheels are at an even height setting. Inspect the deck for any obstructions or damage that might affect cutting performance.
