Why won't my Toro 74969 Lawn Mower engine start?
- G
  Gina LopezNov 23, 2025
  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 the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Make sure the throttle is positioned midway between the slow and fast settings. A dirty fuel filter can also cause this, so replace it. For issues like dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, or a worn relay or switch, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Clean or replace the air-cleaner element if it's dirty. Check the seat-switch indicator and replace the seat if necessary. Inspect electrical connections for corrosion or damage, cleaning them with electrical-contact cleaner and applying dielectric grease. Adjust or replace the ...

Why is the malfunction-indicator light (MIL) on my Toro 74969 Lawn Mower on?
- W
  wsalinasSep 1, 2025
  The malfunction-indicator light (MIL) on your Toro Lawn Mower might come on due to several reasons: * The engine may be too hot; if so, shut it off and let it cool. * There might be old fuel in the fuel tank; use new fuel instead. * The fuel-shutoff valve may not be completely open; open it fully. * The air cleaner could be dirty; ensure the air cleaner and precleaner are clean, replacing them if needed. * The battery may not be charged; charge or replace it. * There may be low voltage from the battery, so ensure you are using a good 12 V battery and that it is fully charged. * A fuse may be blown; check and replace any blown fuses.

  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.

  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 is losing power, it could be due to several reasons. The engine load might be excessive, so try reducing the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause this, so clean the air-cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Make sure the cooling fins and air passages above the engine are clear of obstructions. The vent hole in the fuel cap could be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap. A dirty fuel filter can also cause power loss, so replace it. For issues like dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro 74969 resulting in uneven cutting height?
- K
  Kelly JonesAug 28, 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.

How to fix a Toro 74969 when the starter does not crank?
- D
  Diane GonzalesAug 28, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower does not crank, make sure the blade-control switch is disengaged and the parking brake is engaged. The motion-control levers should be in the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and you should be sitting in the operator’s seat. If these aren't the issue, check if the battery is dead and charge it if necessary. Examine the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness and correct them. Finally, check and replace any blown fuses.

How to fix uneven cutting height on my Toro 74969 Lawn Mower?

  Chris FitzgeraldAug 29, 2025
  If the cutting height of your Toro Lawn Mower is uneven, the blades might not be sharp, so sharpen them. If a cutting blade is bent, install a new one. Ensure the mower is level from side to side and front to rear. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel height, if applicable. Clean the underside of the mower deck. Adjust the tire pressure to the correct level.

  Maria BeckerAug 30, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower do not rotate, inspect the mower deck belt for damage, wear, looseness, or breakage, and install a new deck belt if necessary. Ensure the mower deck belt is properly installed on the deck pulley, checking the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Check the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage, and adjust the belt tension or install a new belt. Replace the idler spring if it is broken or missing.
