To start the Toro Wheel Horse 32-12BEA2 tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to the choke position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine fires, then release the key and adjust the throttle as needed.
It is recommended to use SAE 30 oil for the Toro Wheel Horse 32-12BEA2 tractor in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For temperatures below 32°F, use 5W-30 oil.
The oil in the Toro Wheel Horse 32-12BEA2 tractor should be changed after the first 5 hours of use and every 50 hours of operation thereafter, or annually, whichever comes first.
To adjust the mower deck, first park the tractor on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Measure the height of the blades from the ground and adjust the deck lift links as needed to ensure even cutting height. Refer to the manual for specific adjustment points.
If the engine won't start, check the battery connections, ensure there is fuel in the tank, and the spark plug is in good condition. Also, verify that the safety interlocks are engaged and the PTO is disengaged.
If the tractor is not cutting evenly, ensure the tire pressure is equal on all sides, the blades are sharp and balanced, and the deck is level. Adjust the deck height if necessary.
To replace the drive belt, first remove the mower deck and disengage the belt tensioner. Remove the old belt from the pulleys, install the new belt following the diagram in the manual, and re-tension the belt before reattaching the mower deck.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, sharpening the blades, lubricating moving parts, inspecting the belts, and checking tire pressure. Perform these tasks regularly to ensure optimal performance.
To winterize your tractor, clean the mower deck, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and cover the tractor to protect it from the elements.
Overheating can be caused by clogged air filters, low oil levels, or blocked cooling fins. Ensure the air intake and cooling fins are clean, the oil level is adequate, and the engine is not overworked in high temperatures.
