What to do if Toro TimeCutter SW 4200 engine overheats?
- E
  Edward GomezSep 16, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is overheating, there are several possible causes. First, the engine load may be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Second, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. Third, inspect the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing for obstructions and remove them. Fourth, the air cleaner may be dirty, so clean or replace the air-cleaner element.

Why Toro TimeCutter SW 4200 Lawn Mower engine will not start?
- M
  Michael PenaAug 25, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine might fail to start due to several reasons. The fuel tank may be empty, so fill it. The air cleaner could be dirty; in this case, clean or replace the air cleaner element. A loose or disconnected spark plug wire could also be the culprit; install the wire on the spark plug. Alternatively, the spark plug may be pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap; install a new, correctly gapped spark plug. Other potential causes include dirt in the fuel filter (replace the fuel filter), incorrect fuel in the fuel tank (drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type), or a low oil level in the crankcase (add oil). If the problem persists, it may be due to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system.

  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine might not be starting due to several reasons. Check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if needed. Ensure the choke is on. A dirty air cleaner can also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Inspect the spark plug wire(s) and ensure they are properly connected. The spark plug(s) might be pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap, in which case you should install a new one with the correct gap. Also, check for dirt in the fuel filter and replace it if necessary. Low oil level in the crankcase may also cause this issue, so add oil if needed. Finally, ensure that the fuel tank has the proper type of fuel.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine does not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, start by checking if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if necessary. Ensure the choke is on by moving the choke lever to the On position. Inspect the air cleaner for dirt and clean or replace the element. Verify that the spark plug wire(s) is securely installed on the spark plug. Check the spark plug(s) for pitting, fouling, or incorrect gap and replace if needed. If there is dirt in the fuel filter, replace it. If there is incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type. Finally, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. If you suspect dirt, water, or stale fuel is in fuel system, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, start by checking if the traction-control pedal is engaged and move it to neutral. Next, verify the battery isn't dead and charge it if necessary. Inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, ensuring they have good contact. Finally, check for a blown fuse and replace it if needed.

  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower do not rotate, install a new drive belt if the current one is worn, loose, or broken. If the drive belt is off of the pulley, install it, ensuring the adjusting shafts and belt guides are in the correct position. If the power takeoff (PTO) switch or PTO clutch is faulty, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Install a new mower belt if the current one is worn, loose, or broken.

Why is my Toro TimeCutter SW 4200 Lawn Mower cutting height uneven?
- J
  Jonathan GomezSep 3, 2025
  Uneven cutting height with your Toro Lawn Mower can be due to several reasons. The blade(s) might not be sharp, so sharpen them. A cutting blade(s) may be bent, so install a new cutting blade(s). Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Check that the anti-scalp wheel is set correctly and adjust its height if needed. A dirty mower underside can also cause this, so clean it. Finally, verify that the tire pressure is correct and adjust it accordingly. If a blade spindle is bent, it is recommended to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
