If the engine of your Toro Lawn Mower fails to crank no matter the position of the shift selector or mow pedal, several issues could be at fault. The battery terminals might be corroded, so clean them. The mow/lift switch, traction switch, and/or seat switch may be adjusted incorrectly or damaged. The mow/lift or traction switch wires could be loose. The battery might be dead, requiring a charge or replacement. A solenoid or the ignition switch could be damaged, necessitating replacement. The starter may be damaged, needing replacement or repair. The engine could be seized, requiring engine repair. The key switch, voltmeter, or solenoid wires might be loose, so connect them. Finally, ensure the operator is on the seat.
