4.
Insert dipstick into filler neck and rotate cap
clockwise 1/4 turn to lock.
Note:
Check oil level each time mower is
used or after every 5 operating hours.
Initially, change oil after the first 5
hours of operation; thereafter, change
oil after every 50 hours of operation.
More frequent oil changes are required
in dusty or dirty conditions.
Gasoline
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4" to 1/2" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
Note:
Do not use gasoline that has been
stored in an approved container from
one season to the next. Toro strongly
recommends the use of fresh, clean,
UNLEADED regular grade gasoline in
EN–7
Toro gasoline powered products.
Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner,
extends engine life, and promotes good
starting by reducing the build-up of
combustion chamber deposits. Leaded
gasoline can be used if unleaded is not
available.
Toro also recommends that Toro
Stabilizer/Conditioner be used regularly in all Toro
gasoline powered products during operation and
storage seasons. Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner cleans
the engine during operation and prevents gum-like
varnish deposits from forming in the engine during
periods of storage.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix oil with the
gasoline. Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol or white gas because
engine fuel system damage could result.
Do not use fuel additives other than those
manufactured for fuel stabilization during
storage such as Toro's Stabilizer/conditioner
or a similar product. Toro's
Stabilizer/conditioner is a petroleum distillate
based conditioner/stabilizer. Toro does not
recommend stabilizers with an alcohol base
such as ethanol, methanol or isopropyl.
Additives should not be used to try to
enhance the power or performance of
machine.
1.
Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap from
tank (Fig. 7).
2.
Using unleaded gasoline, fill fuel tank to within
1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) from top of tank, not
into filler neck. Do not fill tank full.
3.
Reinstall fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
4.
Connect spark plug wire (if disconnected)
(Fig. 7).
