Toro Wheel Horse Recycler 70084 Mower F.A.Q.

How do I adjust the cutting height on the Toro Wheel Horse Recycler 70084 Mower?

To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever near each wheel. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring all levers are set to the same height for an even cut.

What should I do if the mower won't start?

First, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Verify that the spark plug is connected and in good condition. Make sure the battery is charged if it's an electric start model. Lastly, ensure the safety key is engaged.

How often should I change the oil in my Toro Wheel Horse Recycler 70084 Mower?

It's recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for oil type and capacity.

Why is my mower leaving uncut patches of grass?

Uncut patches can be caused by a dull blade, uneven wheel height settings, or mowing too quickly. Ensure the blades are sharp, check that all wheels are set to the same height, and reduce mowing speed.

What maintenance steps should I perform at the end of the mowing season?

At the end of the season, clean the underside of the mower deck, change the oil, remove fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, and store the mower in a dry, protected area. Inspect and replace the air filter and spark plug if necessary.

How do I replace the mower blade?

To replace the blade, disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Tilt the mower to access the blade, using a block to prevent movement. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolt and replace the old blade with a new one, ensuring it is securely fastened.

What could cause the mower to vibrate excessively during operation?

Excessive vibration can be caused by a bent or unbalanced blade, loose engine mounting bolts, or debris lodged under the deck. Inspect and balance the blade, tighten any loose bolts, and clear any debris.

How do I clean the air filter on my Toro Wheel Horse Recycler 70084 Mower?

Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and gently tap it to remove debris. If it's a foam filter, wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry before reinstalling. Replace if damaged or excessively dirty.

What type of fuel is recommended for the Toro Wheel Horse Recycler 70084 Mower?

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10% as they can cause engine damage.

How can I improve the mulching performance of my mower?

To enhance mulching, ensure the blade is sharp and the deck is clean. Mow when the grass is dry and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time. Consider using a mulching kit if available.
