To start the Toro TimeCutter SW 4200, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the "Off" position, and the motion control levers are in the neutral position. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it once the engine starts.
Routine maintenance includes checking and replacing the air filter, changing the engine oil and oil filter, inspecting the blades for sharpness, and checking tire pressure. Refer to the operator's manual for specific intervals and procedures.
Ensure that the mower deck is level and that the blades are sharp and not damaged. Check tire pressure and make sure it is consistent on all tires. Inspect for any debris buildup under the deck that could impede performance.
Check for fuel in the tank, ensure the battery is charged, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Verify that all safety features are correctly engaged. If the problem persists, consult the service manual or a professional technician.
To adjust the cutting height, use the deck lift lever located on the mower. Move the lever to the desired height setting, which ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 inches. Ensure the mower is on a flat surface when making adjustments.
Clean the mower thoroughly, remove any grass clippings, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry, covered area.
Blades should be sharpened after every 25 hours of use or more frequently if mowing conditions are harsh. Always balance blades after sharpening to ensure smooth operation.
Excessive vibration may be due to unbalanced or damaged blades. Check that the blades are securely fastened and balanced. Inspect the mower deck and components for any loose hardware or damage.
Maintain a clean air filter, ensure tires are properly inflated, and keep blades sharp. Regular maintenance and operating the mower at recommended speed settings can also improve fuel efficiency.
Toro recommends using SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, or SL. Always check the owner's manual for the most accurate information.
