  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't crank, first ensure the blade-control switch is disengaged. Next, check that the motion-control levers are in the park position. If these are correct, the battery may be dead, so charge it. Also, examine the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness and ensure they have good contact. Finally, check the fuse and replace it if it's blown. If a relay or switch is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Several factors can cause this issue. Ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it. If your model has a choke, make sure it's on. A dirty air cleaner can also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Check that the spark-plug wire(s) is securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug(s) for damage or incorrect gap, replacing if necessary. Also, a clogged fuel filter may prevent starting, so replace it. Low oil level in the crankcase may also be the reason, add oil to the crankcase.

  An abnormal vibration in your Toro Lawn Mower can stem from several causes. Begin by checking the engine-mounting bolts and tighten them if they are loose. Inspect the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley and tighten the appropriate pulley if loose. If the engine pulley is damaged or a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Replace the cutting blade(s) if they are bent or unbalanced. Also, ensure the blade-mounting bolt is tightened.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower's engine doesn't start, starts with difficulty, or won't stay running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty by filling it.
