SETĆUP INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 6
A. Above + 40_F(4_ C) Ċ Use SAE 30 or 10WĆ30.
B. 0_ to+40_F(4_ C) Ċ Use 10WĆ30.
C. Below 0_ (Ć18_ C) Ċ Use 5WĆ 20 or 5W-30.
Note: Avoid premature engine failure by ensuring
the funnel used is clean so contaminants are not
introduced into the crankcase. Wipe up any oil
spilled so it will not cause dirt to collect on the enĆ
gine.
4. Ensure the oil level is to the full mark on the dipĆ
stick when it is fully installed. Do not overfill or enĆ
gine damage may result.
5. Insert the dipstick and turn it clockwise to secure
it in the fill tube.
Note: Check the oil level every 5 operating hours or
each time rider is used. Initially, drain the oil and reĆ
place it after the first 5 hours of operation to remove
the contaminants produced by normal engine breakĆ
in; thereafter, under normal conditions, change oil
after every 25 hours of operation. Change the oil
more frequently when the engine is operated in
dusty or dirty conditions.
FILL FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE
The Toro Company strongly recommends the use of
clean, fresh gasoline in Toro gasoline
powered products. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner,
extends engine life, and promotes good starting by
reducing the buildĆup of combustion chamber deĆ
posits. Leaded gasoline can be used if unleaded is
not available.
Toro also recommends that Toro Stabilizer/ConditionĆ
er 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 storage.
DANGER
Because gasoline is flammable, caution
must be used when storing or handling it.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running,
hot or when machine is in an enclosed area.
Vapors may build up and be ignited by a
spark or flame source many feet away. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to
prevent the possibility of an explosion. AlĆ
ways fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled gasoline before starting engine. Use
a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoĆ
line, and fill tank to about 1/2 inch (13 mm)
below the filler neck. Store gasoline in a
cool, wellĆventilated place; never in an enĆ
closed area such as a hot storage shed. To
ensure volatility, do not buy more than a 30
day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel
for internal combustion engines; therefore,
do not use it for any other purpose. Since
many children like the smell of gas, keep it
out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.
NOTE: NEVER USE METHANO
L, GASOLINE CONĆ
TAINING METHANOL
, GASOHOL CONTAINING
MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, LEADED PREMIUM
GASOLINE OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN
THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL STABILIZAĆ
TION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS TORO'S STAĆ
BILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODĆ
UCT. TORO'S STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A
PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED STABILIZER/
CONDITIONER. TORO DOES NOT RECOMMEND
STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH
AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL. STAĆ
BILIZERS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY TO ENĆ
HANCE THE POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MAĆ
CHINE.
1. Clean area around fuel tank cap so foreign matĆ
ter cannot enter tank when cap is removed (Fig. 6).
2. Remove cap from fuel tank and fill tank with unĆ
leaded gasoline to within 1/2" (13 mm) from top of
tank. Then reinstall fuel tank cap.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Check and ensure the tires are inflated to 12 psi
(82.7 kPa) before operating the machine.
