why does my toro 22' mower keep clogging

It's junk! This mower is horrible. You need to use the side chute with the bagging option. Also have wheels in the back set at a higher distance from the ground.

Try checking the hoses for a clogged area if not go to the manufactures site and see if they may know what is happening. I have used mine quite a lot and have had no problems.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

I assume you have refilled the water chamber with new water. Make sure it is very hot. This will eliminate any gummy substance that may have it clogged.

I would look at the manual. The only time mine bogged down was when I was working with wet leaves. It worked for a while until the wet dirt that was on the leaves built up into mud caked inside the impeller case area. I would check that area for built up material (unplugged of course). Maybe there was wet material in there when you used it last, but after being in storage it dried up.

My experience with the Toro's, and this has happeneded with two Toro's that I have, is that the self-propelled feature fails due to drive belt wear caused by twigs getting jammed in the mechanism. There are do-it-yourself videos on Youtube for fixing this; or elect the other option of bringing to a service shop and having them do it- usually about a $70 repair for new belt and labor. Alternatively, just get a new mower that is not a Toro. I have never had similar issues with any of my other non-Toro lawnmowers. Good Luck.

I have never had that happen. I imagine they are clogged somehow. You could try using some diluted drain cleaned to unclog it.(1/2 warm water/half drain cleaner. This worked for me with a clogged garden hose.

The is a common problem with average or low quality motors especially when the filter becomes old. The resolution is to replace the filter, clean the motor thoroughly, let it dry, re-install it with a new filter and make sure the water level is correct. In addition please make sure you are keeping the tank clean by following the guidelines using a vacuum etc. This will keep the motor from "clogging" up fast. Hope this helps.

A clogged drain depends on the water clarity I have used a hose to send spurts of water to help clear a path and clean the lens with no problems but never fully submerge the unit as yet. I use mine mainly to find breaks in line or look for tree roots sticking thru. I clear clog then look for where it got hung up.

You should try cleaning it. You can run your vacuum hose over the front and back and hopefully it will unclog the blades.

Anthony, my toro 51480 is doing the same thing. I have had it for a couple of years. It is not the cord as it works with other equipment. It seems to me that it is overheating, or something. i tried it this morning and it worked for about 1 minute and a half, then nothing. i am looking at another brand.....

I have not used this mower in any other mode beside mulching. The mower does not look like it is designed for side discharge. The mower is made for a rear bagger. I am not sure if changing the blade would help with a clogging problem. I know mowing wet grass can clog up a mower. Brent McKittrick

I haven't experienced that dreaded occurance yet, but it seems you'd have to take the auger/blades out at one end or the other somehow. If you're handy, I'd start by seeing if there is a way in through one end/side of the blade housing or the other, and if there is a belt pulley inside that needs to come off to free-up the axle the blades are on. Be sure to remember where parts come from(maybe draw a picture), so you can put it all back together. Otherwise, it may be a chore for the Toro dealer in your area. Good luck.

That usually happens to me when the hood gets clogged. And that does happen quit a bit. I'll blow air into the blades (Without going past the edge) that sometimes clear it.

Mine didn't clog, but it was pretty useless, just made the air hazy. It didn't look like "fog."

Sorry, not my strongest area, but if I had to take a shot at it I would say something is dirty or something is restricting. Try cleaning every part of the unit, flushing heavy spray garden hose water into every opening. Hope this will help!customer service

Remove oil dip stick smell the oil. If it smells like gas empty it and put fresh oil back in it. Also check air filter for oil residue caused by oil coming out the carburetor. There are 2 main issues that causes engine not to start That i have researched online when i ran into these problems with this brand of mower. Mine is the piston rings and i haven't had mine a year. 2nd thing is there is a red ring in opening where you fill gas do not fill past bottom of ring or gas will get pulled into oil causing oil to come out the carburetor which will keep mower from starting.
