To start the Toro Sportlawn 18-inch 10018 Mower, ensure it is on a flat surface, check that the fuel tank is full, and the oil level is correct. Engage the safety lever, and then pull the starter cord firmly.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, confirm the air filter is not clogged, and make sure the safety lever is engaged.
It is recommended to change the oil in the Toro Sportlawn 18-inch 10018 Mower after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers on each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position to set the mower to the correct cutting height.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher for optimal performance. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
To maintain the blade, regularly check for wear and damage. Sharpen the blade at least once a season or as needed. Always disconnect the spark plug before performing any maintenance on the blade.
Excessive vibration may indicate a damaged or unbalanced blade. Inspect the blade for damage and ensure it is properly balanced and securely attached.
After use, allow the engine to cool, then use a hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris from the deck and undercarriage. Avoid spraying water directly on the engine.
For off-season storage, clean the mower thoroughly, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store the mower in a dry, sheltered location.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage, and ensure it is properly tensioned. Inspect the drive cable and adjust if necessary. Replace any worn components.
