Before Starting
Gasoline
Oil
Fill crankcase with SAE 30 oil until oil level reaches
FULL mark on dipstick. 10W-30 oil may be
substituted if SAE 30 is not available. The maximum
crankcase capacity is 20 ounces (0.6 liters) of oil.
Use any high quality detergent oil having the
American Petroleum Institute (API) "service
elassification"--SF, SG or SH.
Before each use, ensure oil level is between FULL
and ADD marks on dipstick (Fig. 9). Add oil if level
is low.
1. Position mower on level surface and clean
around oil dipstick (Fig. 9).
2. Remove dipstick by rotating cap
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
.
Wipe dipstick and insert it into filler neck.
Rotate cap clockwise 1/4 turn. Then remove
dipstick and check level of oil on side of dipstick
with FULL and ADD marks (Fig. 9). If level is
low, add only enough oil to raise level to FULL
mark on dipstick. DO NOT FILL ABOVE
FULL MARK BECAUSE ENGINE COULD
BE DAMAGED WHEN STARTED. POUR
OIL SLOWLY.
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 2
hours of operation; thereafter, change
oil after every 25 hours of operation.
More frequent oil changes are required
in dusty or dirty conditions.
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
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
