  An uneven cutting height with your Toro Lawn Mower may be due to dull blades, bent cutting blades, an unlevel mower deck, a dirty mower underside, or incorrect tire pressure. Try to sharpen the blades, install new cutting blades, level the mower deck from side-to-side and front-to-rear, clean the underside of the mower, and adjust the tire pressure. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to: * A worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt; install a new deck belt. * The mower deck belt being off the pulley; install the mower deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. * A worn, loose, or broken pump drive belt; check the belt tension or install a new belt. * A broken or missing idler spring; replace the spring.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine will not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, fill the fuel tank, open the fuel shutoff valve and add oil to the crankcase. Ensure that the throttle control is midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions. Also, replace the fuel filter, clean or replace the air cleaner element, check the seat switch indicator (replace the seat if needed), check the electrical connections for good contact (clean the connector terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect), clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug and check the spark plug wire connection. If problems persist, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro Lawn Mower resulting in uneven cutting height?

  Brenda PhelpsAug 30, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower is mowing with an uneven cutting height, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the blades are sharp; if not, sharpen them. Bent cutting blades can also cause this, so install new ones. Check if the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear, and adjust as needed. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Also, verify that the tire pressure is correct. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

- K
  Kimberly GonzalezAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the engine load is excessive and reduce the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean the air-cleaner element. Ensure that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate, adding oil if necessary. Additionally, inspect the cooling fins and air passages above the engine for any obstructions and remove them. Lastly, the vent hole in the fuel cap may be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine doesn't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel-shutoff valve is open. Check that the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient and the throttle is positioned midway between the SLOW and FAST settings. Also, a dirty fuel filter or air cleaner can cause issues, so replace or clean them as needed. Inspect the spark plug, adjusting or replacing it if it's fouled or improperly gapped, and verify the spark-plug wire is securely connected. Finally, check the seat-switch indicator, replacing the seat if necessary.
