Toro Wheel Horse 17-44H 77106 Setup Instructions

To start the Toro Wheel Horse 17-44H 77106 Tractor, ensure the parking brake is set, the transmission is in neutral, and the PTO is disengaged. Insert the key and turn it to the "Start" position until the engine starts. Release the key to the "Run" position once the engine is running.
If the engine does not start, check the battery connections, ensure there is sufficient fuel, and verify that the spark plug is in good condition. Additionally, make sure the safety switches are properly engaged.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Always consult the owner's manual for specific oil type and capacity.
The Toro Wheel Horse 17-44H 77106 Tractor uses unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using fuel with more than 10% ethanol content.
Uneven cutting may be due to dull blades, incorrect tire pressure, or a misaligned deck. Ensure the blades are sharp, the tires are properly inflated, and the deck is level.
If the PTO does not engage, check the PTO switch and wiring connections. Ensure the belt is intact and properly tensioned. Also, inspect the PTO clutch for wear or damage.
To change the mower deck belt, lower the deck, remove the belt guards, and release the tension on the belt. Remove the old belt and install the new one, following the belt routing diagram. Reinstall the belt guards and ensure proper tension.
Maintain the battery by keeping it clean and free of corrosion. Check the electrolyte level regularly and ensure the terminals are tight. During off-season storage, disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
To winterize the tractor, clean it thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the tank. Remove the battery and store it separately. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
To adjust the cutting height, move the cutting height lever to the desired position. Ensure the deck is level for an even cut. Refer to the owner's manual for specific height settings and adjustments.
