Toro Recycler 22 Self Propelled Manual

The Toro Recycler 22 Personal Pace system works by pushing the bail lever toward the handle—push harder for faster speed (up to 4.5 mph), lighter for slower. Oil capacity is 18-20 oz of SAE 10W-30; change every 50 hours or once per season. The 22” deck uses a single blade (part #131-4547 or equivalent, $20-35). If the self-propel stops working, check the drive belt ($15-25) and cable tension first.
