    Why is my Toro TimeCutter Z380 Lawn Mower cutting height uneven?
    • M
      Melissa JohnsonAug 22, 2025
      If the cutting height of your Toro Lawn Mower is uneven, several factors could be the cause. Start by sharpening the blade(s). If a cutting blade(s) is bent, install a new one. Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel height if it's not set correctly. Clean the underside of the mower if it's dirty. Adjust the tire pressure if it's incorrect. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

      Thomas WalkerAug 29, 2025
      If your Toro Lawn Mower engine overheats, there are several potential causes. First, the engine load might be excessive, so try reducing your ground speed. Also, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Make sure the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing are free from obstructions. A dirty air cleaner can also contribute to overheating, so clean or replace it. Finally, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system can be a factor, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

    Why does my Toro TimeCutter Z380 Lawn Mower engine lose power?
    • J
      Jennifer ThompsonAug 31, 2025

Add oil to the crankcase if the oil level is low. Remove any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages. Install new spark plug(s) if the existing ones are pitted, fouled, or have an incorrect gap. Open the vent in the fuel cap if it's closed. Replace the fuel filter if it's dirty.

    Why is my Toro Lawn Mower cutting unevenly?
    • T
      thompsonchristopherSep 6, 2025
      Uneven cutting height with your Toro Lawn Mower can be caused by several factors. Ensure that the blade(s) is sharp, if not, sharpen the blade(s). A bent cutting blade(s) will also cause this, so install a new cutting blade(s). Check if the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear and level it if necessary. An incorrectly set anti-scalp wheel can also lead to uneven cutting, so adjust the anti-scalp wheel height. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Incorrect tire pressure can also be a factor, so adjust the tire pressure. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

    Why Toro TimeCutter Z380 Lawn Mower starter does not crank?
    • V
      Victor WoodSep 12, 2025
      If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, there are a few things to check. Make sure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged. Also, ensure the motion control levers are in the brake position and that you are seated on the seat. A dead battery can also prevent the starter from cranking, so charge the battery. Check the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness and ensure they have good contact. A blown fuse could also be the problem, so replace the fuse. If none of these steps work, a relay or switch may be damaged, requiring you to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
