How do I properly adjust the cutting height on the Toro Z Master Recycler 48-inch 78477 mower?

To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the side of the mower deck. Move the lever to your desired height setting. Ensure both sides are set to the same position for an even cut.

What should I do if the mower does not start?

Check the battery charge and connections, ensure the fuel tank is not empty, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Additionally, make sure the safety handles are engaged.

How often should I change the oil in my Toro Z Master mower?

Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, then every 50 hours or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Use SAE 30 oil for best performance.

What is the correct procedure for cleaning the mower deck?

After ensuring the mower is turned off and cool, use a garden hose with a nozzle to spray underneath the deck, removing grass clippings and debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers as they may damage components.

How can I troubleshoot uneven cutting?

Check that the tire pressure is equal on all wheels, the blades are sharp and not bent, and the deck is level. Adjust as necessary to achieve an even cut.

What maintenance should be done at the end of the mowing season?

Clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, empty the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, check the air filter, and store the mower in a dry place. Disconnect the battery if storing for extended periods.

How do I replace the drive belt on the Toro Z Master mower?

Remove the deck guard and disengage the mower blades. Loosen the belt tension, remove the old belt, and install the new belt by routing it around the pulleys. Re-tension the belt and replace the deck guard.

What should I check if the mower is vibrating excessively?

Inspect the blades for damage or imbalance, check the engine mounting bolts, and ensure the belts are properly tensioned. Replace any worn or damaged parts.

Can I use the Toro Z Master mower on wet grass?

It is not recommended to mow wet grass as it can lead to clumping, uneven cutting, and potentially damage the mower. Wait until the grass is dry for optimal results.
