Why is the starter not cranking on my Toro Z Master Professional 5000 Lawn Mower?

If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the blade-control switch is disengaged and the parking brake is engaged. Also, make sure the motion-control levers are in the NEUTRAL-LOCK position and that you are sitting in the operator’s seat. If these aren't the issue, check if the battery is dead and needs charging. Corroded or loose electrical connections can also prevent cranking, so check them for good contact. A blown fuse could be the culprit, so replace it if necessary. If none of these steps work, a relay or switch may be damaged, requiring you to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
