Toro Whirlwind II 16035 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro Whirlwind II 16035 Mower, first ensure that the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Then, set the throttle to the 'Start' position, engage the choke if the engine is cold, and pull the starter rope firmly.
If the mower does not start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Verify the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Also, inspect the air filter for dirt or obstructions and clean or replace it if necessary.
To improve cutting performance, regularly sharpen the mower blades and ensure they are balanced. Mow when the grass is dry and adjust the cutting height to suit the grass type and current growth conditions.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting and replacing spark plugs, and sharpening the blades. Additionally, clean the mower deck regularly to prevent grass buildup.
To store the mower for the off-season, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly, including the underside of the deck. Store it in a dry, protected area and cover it to prevent dust accumulation.
The Toro Whirlwind II 16035 Mower is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment levers near each wheel. Move the levers to the desired position, ensuring all four wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Excessive vibration could be due to unbalanced or damaged blades. Check the blades for damage and balance, and replace them if necessary. Also, inspect the mower deck for any loose components.
After use, allow the mower to cool and then use a brush or cloth to remove grass clippings from the deck and blades. Avoid using water to prevent rusting, and ensure the mower is dry before storing.
Uncut grass strips may result from dull blades or an uneven deck. Sharpen the blades and ensure they are balanced. Check the deck for levelness and adjust if necessary.
