Before Starting
Oil
Initially, the crankcase must be filled with 20 ounces
(0.6 liters) of SAE 30 oil; 10W -30 oil may be substituted
if SAE 30 is not available. Use any high quality deter gent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API)
“service classification”—SF , SG, SH or SJ.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the
FULL and ADD marks on the dipstick (Fig. 5). Add oil if
the level is low .
1.
Position the mower on a level surface and clean
around the dipstick (Fig. 5).
2. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
3. W ipe the dipstick clean.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the
cap clockwise 1/4 turn.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the level of the oil on
the side of the dipstick with the FULL and ADD marks
(Fig. 5).

6. If the level is low , add enough oil to raise the level to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT : Do not fill above the FULL mark
because the engine could be damaged when started.
Pour the oil slowly .
Gasoline
Do not use gasoline that has been stored from one season
to the next. Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular grade
gasoline. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner , extends engine
life, and promotes good starting. Leaded gasoline can be
used if unleaded is not available.
T oro also recommends that T oro Stabilizer/Conditioner be
used regularly during operation and storage. T oro
Stabilizer/Conditioner cleans the engine during operation
and prevents gum-like varnish deposits from forming
during periods of storage.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• When fueling, under certain cir cumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline.
WHA T CAN HAPPEN
• A fir e or explosion fr om gasoline can burn you
and others and cause pr operty damage.
HOW T O A V OID THE HAZARD
• Always place gasoline containers on the gr ound
away from your vehicle befor e filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
•
When practical, r emove gas–power ed
equipment fr om the truck or trailer and r efuel
the equipment with its wheels on the r ound.
•
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer fr om a portable
container , rather than fr om a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
