  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, first check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if necessary. Ensure the choke is on. A dirty air cleaner can also cause this issue, so clean or replace it. Make sure the spark plug wire(s) is securely connected. Inspect the spark plug(s) for damage or incorrect gap and replace if needed. Also, check the fuel filter for dirt and replace if necessary. If there is incorrect fuel, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type. Finally, ensure that the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient and add oil if needed. For issues related to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower do not rotate, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken drive belt, in which case you should install a new drive belt. If the drive belt is off of the pulley, install it and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position. If the Power Take-Off (PTO) switch or PTO clutch is faulty, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Finally, check if the mower belt is worn, loose, or broken and install a new mower belt if needed.

Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel height if it is not set correctly. Clean the underside of the mower if it is dirty.
