      Timothy CoxSep 23, 2025
      If the speed lock on your Toro Blower doesn't hold when engaged, the speed lock screw might be loose. Try tightening it by turning it ¼ turn. If it still doesn't hold, turn the screw an additional ¼ turn.

      Tonya WelchSep 16, 2025

    Why are all 4 LED indicators blinking on the Toro Blower battery pack when I check the charge?

      Jonathan AlvarezSep 13, 2025
      If all 4 LED indicators are blinking on the battery pack of your Toro Blower when you press the battery-charge-indicator button, it's likely that the battery pack is outside of its ideal temperature range. Move the battery pack to a place where it is dry and the temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
