Toro Wheel Horse 56132 Operator's Manual

To change the oil, first run the engine to warm it up, which helps the oil drain out smoothly. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. Place a pan under the mower's oil drain plug, remove the plug, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug securely, then refill with the manufacturer's recommended oil type and amount.
Check if there is fresh fuel in the tank and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the battery is charged and connections are secure. If the mower still won't start, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps or contact a professional technician.
Blades should be sharpened after every 25 hours of use or at the start of each mowing season. Sharp blades ensure a clean cut, which promotes healthier grass growth. Be sure to disconnect the spark plug before removing the blades for sharpening.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 10-14 psi for the front tires and 8-10 psi for the rear tires. Always check the owner's manual for the exact specifications and use a reliable pressure gauge to maintain the correct tire pressure for optimal performance.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug for safety. Remove the mower deck according to the instructions in the manual. Release the tension on the belt by loosening the belt tensioner. Remove the old belt and install the new one, ensuring it is seated properly on all pulleys. Reattach the mower deck and reconnect the spark plug.
Regularly check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if needed. Ensure the battery is securely mounted and the connections are tight. During the off-season, store the battery in a cool, dry place and keep it charged to prolong its lifespan.
The cutting height can be adjusted by moving the height adjustment lever located near the wheels. Consult the owner's manual for specific instructions, as the process may vary slightly depending on the model. Always adjust the height while the mower is turned off and on a flat surface.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades or debris stuck in the mower deck. Inspect the blades for damage and ensure they are installed correctly. Clean the underside of the deck to remove any debris. If the problem persists, check for loose bolts or consult a professional.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it is a paper filter, tap it gently to remove dirt, or replace it if it is too dirty. For foam filters, wash with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry before reinstalling. Regular cleaning ensures optimal engine performance.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol as it can damage the engine. Always store fuel in a clean, approved container and replace it if it becomes stale to ensure proper engine operation.
