To start the Toro TimeCutter SS 4235, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the blades are disengaged, and the throttle is set to 'choke' if the engine is cold. Turn the key to the start position and release it once the engine starts.
If the mower doesn't start, check the battery connections, ensure there is enough fuel, and verify that the spark plug is functioning. Additionally, make sure the parking brake is engaged and the blades are disengaged.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Always use the oil type recommended in the manual.
To sharpen the blades, first remove them from the mower. Use a grinder or a file to sharpen the cutting edge evenly, maintaining the original angle. Balance the blade before reinstalling to avoid vibrations.
Adjust the cutting height by moving the height-of-cut lever located on the side of the mower. Refer to the mower's manual for the specific height settings available.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades or debris caught in the deck. Check and clean the mower deck, and ensure the blades are balanced and properly installed.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and clean it with compressed air or replace it if it's too dirty or damaged. Reinstall the filter and cover securely.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, sharpening blades, checking tire pressure, and inspecting belts and pulleys for wear.
To improve fuel efficiency, keep the mower well-maintained, ensure the blades are sharp, and avoid mowing when the grass is wet or too tall. Regularly check the tire pressure and avoid excessive idling.
If the mower leaves uncut patches, check the blades for sharpness and balance. Also, make sure the cutting deck is level and free of debris. Adjust the mowing speed if necessary.
