Hi all, I am a new user of a Toro Super Recycler and fairly new at mowing in general and I don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge.
I bought my super recycler, put it together and added the entire bottle of oil the mower came with. I also added roughly a gallon of unleaded gas to the mower.
When I started the mower up for the first time it smoked for a couple of minutes, but eventually went away. When I was mowing for the first time, I was mulching the grass so, I did not bag it. I noticed that the grass was a little clumpy coming out, at least at first, but again, I'm fairly a newbie so I was overly concerned. When I was finishing my mow, the air filter had fallen off (I had forgotten to snap the lid closed during the install).
On the second mow, the mower started right up, but I could certainly tell it wasn't working the way I wanted it to. I never adjusted the height on the mower, so I think the height on the mower may have been a little low. In any case, the grass was noticeably clumpy and I was disappointed because I thought this machine would do a fine job mincing the grass up. The grass was last cut a couple of weeks prior. After literally 3-5 minutes the mower stopped. I turned the mower over and pulled out clumps from underneath the blades. I tried to start the mower up again, but I could never get it to turn over and start. The cord became tighter as well.
Anyone have any thoughts on what may have happened with this mower?
