To start the Toro Wheel Horse 42-inch 78232 mower, ensure the mower is on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to choke, and turn the ignition key to start the engine.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 oil for temperatures below 32°F (0°C) for optimal performance.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of use or at the start of each mowing season, whichever comes first.
Check the battery charge, ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline, clean or replace the air filter, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage.
The recommended tire pressure for the Toro Wheel Horse 42-inch 78232 mower is 12-15 psi for the front tires and 10-12 psi for the rear tires.
To change the mower blades, ensure the mower is off and parked on a flat surface. Remove the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolt, replace the blade, and tighten the bolt securely.
Uneven cutting may be due to dull blades, incorrect tire pressure, or an improperly leveled deck. Ensure blades are sharp, tires are at correct pressure, and the deck is level.
To clean the deck, safely lift the mower, remove any grass clippings with a brush or hose, and ensure the deck is dry to prevent rust.
If the engine overheats, stop the mower immediately, check for debris blocking the air vents, ensure the oil level is correct, and allow the engine to cool before restarting.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the side of the mower, and move it to the desired position for the preferred grass height.
