The recommended maintenance schedule involves checking the air filter, engine oil, and tire pressure before each use. Additionally, blades should be sharpened monthly, and the mower should undergo a thorough inspection every 100 hours of operation.
Ensure the battery is fully charged, check the spark plugs for wear, ensure that the fuel valve is open, and inspect the fuel filter for clogs. If the problem persists, consider examining the solenoid and starter motor.
Toro recommends using SAE 30 or 10W-30 detergents oil that meets or exceeds the API service classification SJ or higher.
Regularly sharpen and balance the mower blades, ensure the deck is clean and free of debris, and adjust the cutting height to match the grass type and conditions.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage, ensure that the hydrostatic system has the correct fluid levels, and inspect the linkage for proper adjustment.
To replace the blades, ensure the mower is turned off and the parking brake is engaged. Use a blade removal tool or wrench to loosen the blade bolts, then remove and replace the blades. Tighten the bolts securely before use.
Uneven cutting can be caused by dull blades, improper tire pressure, or a misaligned deck. Check and correct these issues to ensure an even cut.
The air filter should be checked before each use and replaced every 100 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Always wear protective eyewear and hearing protection, ensure the area is clear of bystanders, and never operate the mower on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
To adjust the cutting height, use the lever located on the mower deck to set the desired height. Make sure to adjust both sides evenly to maintain a balanced cut.
