To start the Toro Wheel Horse C5-60SC04 mower, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the throttle is set to 'fast'. Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position until the engine begins to run.
If the mower won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, and check the spark plug for damage or wear. Also, make sure the seat switch is properly engaged.
To maintain the blades, regularly inspect them for sharpness, and balance. Sharpen the blades using a grinder if they are dull and replace them if they show signs of damage or imbalance.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 engine oil for optimal performance in temperatures above freezing. Consult the owner's manual for specific brand recommendations and oil change intervals.
For uneven cutting, check that the mower deck is level, ensure the blades are sharp, and verify that the tire pressure is even. Adjust the deck height settings as necessary.
Change the air filter every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Replace more frequently in dusty conditions.
The recommended tire pressure is typically around 12-15 PSI for the rear tires and 10-12 PSI for the front tires. Always check the operator's manual for exact specifications.
To engage the PTO, ensure the engine is running at full throttle, then pull the PTO switch upward to start the blades rotating. Always disengage the PTO before turning off the engine.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, sharpening and balancing the blades, checking tire pressure, and inspecting belts for wear.
To store the mower for winter, clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, drain or stabilize the fuel, remove the battery, and store it in a dry, protected area. Consider covering the mower to protect it from dust and moisture.
