  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts with difficulty, or stalls, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and the shutoff valve is open; if not, fill the tank and open the valve. Next, make sure the choke is engaged by moving the choke lever to the CHOKE position. Check the spark-plug wire to ensure it's securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug itself; if it's damaged or the gap is incorrect, replace it. Also, a dirty air cleaner can be the culprit, so service the air cleaner element. Lastly, check the fuel filter for dirt and replace if necessary.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is losing power, there are several potential causes. Start by reducing your ground speed, as the engine load may be excessive. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so service the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Ensure the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing are free from obstructions. Inspect the spark plug for damage or incorrect gap and replace if needed. Clean or replace the fuel cap if the vent hole is plugged. Finally, replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.

  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, start by checking the belt tension if the pump-drive belt is worn, loose, or broken. If the pump-drive belt is off the pulley, install the drive belt and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position. If the mower-deck belt is worn, loose, or broken, install a new deck belt. If it's off the pulley, install the deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Replace any broken or missing idler springs. Also, adjust the clutch air gap if the electric clutch is out of adjustment. For issues with the clutch connector or wire, a damaged electric clutch, the safety-interlock system, or a faulty PTO switch, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower isn't driving, the hydraulic-fluid reservoir might be low, so add hydraulic fluid. Air in the hydraulic system can also be a cause, so bleed the air out. Check if the pump-drive belt slips and replace it if necessary. If a pump-drive belt idler spring is missing, replace it. Lastly, ensure the pump-bypass valves are tightened to a torque of 12 to 15 N?m (9 to 11 ft-lb).
