Toro TimeCutter Z380 74419 Setup Instructions

To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Then, turn off the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and place a pan under the mower's drain plug. Remove the plug and let the old oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill with fresh oil as specified in the user manual.
Check the PTO switch to ensure it is engaged. Inspect the belt for damage or slippage and replace it if necessary. Also, verify that the battery is fully charged and connections are clean and secure. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
First, disconnect the spark plug. Then, lift the mower and secure it safely. Remove the blade by loosening the bolt. Use a grinder or file to sharpen the blade to the correct angle, ensuring balance. Reattach the blade securely before use.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it is a foam filter, wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse, and let it dry. If it is a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris or replace it if it is too dirty. Reinstall the filter and cover.
Ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline and that the fuel valve is open. Check the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it. If the mower still doesn't start, consult the manual or a technician.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and sharpening the blades, cleaning or replacing the air filter, checking tire pressure, and inspecting belts and hoses for wear. Regularly inspect the mower for loose bolts and connections.
Uncut grass may be due to dull blades, improper deck level, or mowing too quickly. Check and sharpen the blades, ensure the deck is level, and adjust your mowing speed. Also, make sure the blade speed is sufficient and the grass is dry.
Locate the deck lift lever on the mower. Move the lever to adjust the cutting height to the desired level, ranging from low to high. Refer to the user manual for recommended settings based on grass type and condition.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose parts, or worn belts. Inspect the blades for balance and damage, tighten any loose parts, and replace worn belts. If vibrations persist, consult a professional.
Clean the mower thoroughly to remove grass and debris. Change the oil and air filter, and sharpen the blades. Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank or drain it completely. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered area, disconnecting the battery if necessary.
