To start the Toro Wheel Horse XL 380H 71252 Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the throttle is set to the choke position if the engine is cold. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts, then release the key.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil level before each use, changing the oil every 50 hours, cleaning or replacing the air filter every 25 hours, and inspecting the blades and belts regularly.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank has fresh fuel, verify the spark plug is in good condition, and ensure the safety switches are engaged properly.
To change the blades, lift the tractor safely, remove the deck mounting pins, lower the deck, and remove the blade bolts. Replace the blades with new ones, ensuring they are installed in the correct orientation, and reattach the deck.
It is recommended to use SAE 10W-30 motor oil for the Toro Wheel Horse XL 380H 71252 Tractor. Ensure the oil meets API service classification SJ or higher.
To troubleshoot uneven cutting, check if the tire pressure is equal on all sides, the deck is level, and the blades are sharp and balanced. Adjust the deck height as needed and replace worn or damaged blades.
To improve traction, consider using wheel weights or tire chains, ensure the tires are properly inflated, and use the tractor on dry, level ground whenever possible.
If the tractor overheats, check the cooling fins for debris buildup, ensure the engine oil is at the correct level, and verify the air filter is clean. Avoid operating the tractor in extremely hot conditions if possible.
To adjust the throttle, locate the throttle cable near the engine, loosen the clamp screw, move the cable to achieve the desired throttle position, and tighten the screw to secure it in place.
For winter storage, clean the tractor thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, check and change the oil if needed, disconnect and store the battery in a cool, dry place, and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
