Steps to follow:
Step #1: Set Lawn Mower In Even Surface
Take your Toro recycler lawnmower into a clean and even surface.
Step #2: Fill Gas Tank
Grip the lid of the gas tank and rotate it counterclockwise. Lift the lid upward. Now fill the gas tank with unleaded gasoline. Replace the lid of the gas tank and rotate it clockwise.
Step #3: Clean Dipstick
Turn the oil tank lid counterclockwise and lift it upward. Use a paper towel to clean the dipstick attached to the oil tank lid.
After cleaning the dipstick, insert it again into the oil tank. Do not tighten it by rotating. Remove the lid from the tank and observe the dipstick to check the oil level in the oil tank. Then pour oil in the oil tank until it is full of oil. Don’t overfill the oil tank.
Step #4: Wipe Fuel Tank Outside
Take a paper towel and wipe all gasoline and spilled oil off from the lawnmower.
Step #5: Press Primer Button
Now, firmly press the primer button at least 3 times. Press it inward and hold not more than 1 second. Note that, all the Toro 22” lawnmower does not have a primer button except self-propelled mulching lawnmower.
Step #6: Adjust Blade Control Bar
Grasp the mower blade control bar that is found on the front side of the mower handle. Now, push the bar against the mower handle. Hold the handle and the bar with one hand.
Step #7: Start Lawn Mower
If you have an electric powered lawnmower, then place the starting key in the key slot. Turn the starting key to start the engine of the mower.
If you have a gasoline-powered lawnmower then pull the mower starter handle gradually until you realize resistance. Release the handle and give it time to go back to its previous position. Continue the same process until the mower engine starts.
Tips
- If you want to stop the mower, just release the mower blade control bar. It doesn’t matter whether it is the gasoline-powered or electric-powered lawnmower.
- It is recommended to use new gasoline when you fill the gas tank. Don’t use more than 6 months old gasoline. Because oil gasoline becomes condensed and does not allow the mower to start.
Cautions
- Don’t refuel the mower when the engine of the mower is warm.

- Don’t operate the mower when the grasses are wet.
