What to do if my Toro Drill starter will not crank?
- B
  Brandon ClarkAug 15, 2025
  If the starter of your Toro Drill won't crank, there are several potential causes: * The BATTERY-DISCONNECT switch might be in the OFF position. If so, turn it to the ON position. * The electrical connections could be corroded or loose. Check them to ensure good contact. * A fuse might be blown or loose. Correct or replace the fuse. * The battery might be discharged. Charge or replace it.

How to fix Toro Drill engine overheating?
- A
  Alexander PattonAug 25, 2025
  If your Toro Drill engine is overheating, ensure that you check and add coolant. Inspect and clean the side panel screens with every use to ensure there is no restricted air flow to the radiator. Also, verify that the crankcase oil level is correct by filling or draining to the full mark. Reduce the load and use a lower ground speed if there is excessive loading. If the incorrect fuel is in the fuel system, drain and flush the fuel system and add fresh fuel.
