Toro Wheel Horse Recycler R5-38SL01 Operator's Manual

Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, sharpening the blades, and checking tire pressure. Follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the user manual for detailed instructions.
First, check the battery connections and charge if necessary. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline, and inspect the spark plug for damage or wear. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Locate the height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
For optimal performance, use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For colder temperatures, use 5W-30. Always refer to the manual for the recommended oil type and viscosity.
Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Remove the key and disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolt and replace the blade, ensuring it is properly aligned and tightened.
Check for debris or damage to the blades and ensure they are balanced. Inspect the deck belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Tighten any loose hardware on the mower deck.
Maintain a regular service schedule, including cleaning the air filter and changing the oil. Ensure the tires are properly inflated and the blades are sharp to reduce engine load.
Check if the blades are dull or damaged and sharpen or replace them as needed. Ensure the mower deck is clean and the grass is dry when mowing. Adjust the mowing speed if necessary.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and remove any grass clippings. Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Store in a dry, sheltered location and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if needed. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician.
