How to Remove the Handle on a Toro 20017

Toro is among the foremost names in lawn and landscaping equipment. The Toro 20017 Recycler is a top-of-the-line push mower that is outfitted with rear-wheel drive, a rear bagger, a Tecumseh engine and a two-year full warranty. The 20017 Recycler also has a folding handle, and it is possible you may have to remove the handle some day. This is not a difficult job and it can be accomplished in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Instructions

- 1
  Pull the recoil starter pull cord rope out about 6 inches. Slide the rubber T-shaped handle up the pull rope about 6 inches to expose the knot that holds it in place on the eyehook on the handle. Untie the knot and remove the T-shaped handle. Retie a knot in the pull cord rope so that the pull cord does not get sucked into the recoil starter housing.

  Locate the screws on the inside of the handle that holds the blade control bar in place. Remove these screws with a Phillips screwdriver and loosen the blade control bar from the inside of the mower's handle. Squeeze the sides of the blade control bar inward to free it once you have removed the screws.
- 3
  Squeeze the lower half of the mower's handle inward and slip the handle off the pins that hold the handle in place through the handle holes. This will remove your Toro 20017 Recycler mower's handle.
