How to fix uneven cutting height with my Toro Lawn Mower?
An uneven cutting height can result from dull blades (sharpen them) or bent blades (install new ones). Ensure the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Clean the underside of the mower, adjust the tire pressure and contact an Authorized Service Dealer if the blade spindle is bent.
Why does my Toro Lawn Mower engine lose power?
A loss of engine power can occur for several reasons. The engine load may be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause this, so clean the air-cleaner element.

Also, the vent hole in the fuel cap might be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap. Lastly, a dirty fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, so replace the fuel filter.
