CHECK CRANKCASE OIL
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; how-
ever, the level of oil must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
Insert the dipstick into tube and make sure it is
seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the
level of oil. If the oil level is low, remove the
filler cap and add enough oil to raise the level to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.

3. Gasoline engines use any high-quality detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute—
API—“service classification” SG or SG/CD.
Seethe viscosity chart for recommended weight
to use.
A. Above –20° C—Use 10W-30 or 10W-40.
B. Below 0° C—Use SAE 5W-20 or SW-30.
4. Pour oil into the fill opening until the oil level is
up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Add the
oil slowly and check the level often during this
process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8
operating hours or daily. Change the oil and
filter initially after the first 5 hours of opera-
tion, thereafter, change the oil and filter every
50 hours. However, change the oil more fre-
quently when the engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
FILL FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 32 l.
Gasoline Models:
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDS THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN,
UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN
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. MINIMUM
OCTANE RATING OF 87.
NOTE:NEVER USE METHANOL, GASO-
LINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING MORE
THAN 10% ETHANOL, GASOLINE
ADDITIVES, OR WHITE GAS
BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about one inch below top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT
OVERFILL. Then install the cap.
