Operation; Filling The Fuel Tank; Draining Water From The Fuel Filter - Toro 22337CP Operator's Manual

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Important: Before operating, check the fuel, oil, and coolant level; remove debris from the traction unit;
test the parking brake, and check the tire pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris.
You should also know and have marked the locations of all utility lines.
CAUTION
You could fall off of the platform and be seriously injured during operation.
Do not move the control levers unless you are standing with both feet on the platform and your hands
are holding the handles.

Filling the Fuel Tank

The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with
a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above 20° F (-7° C) and winter grade diesel fuel
(No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below 20° F
(-7° C). Use of winter grade diesel fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and pour point
characteristics, allowing easier starts and lessening the
chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to lower
temperatures.
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above 20° F (-7° C)
will contribute toward longer life of the fuel pump
components.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline in
place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution
will damage the engine.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
4. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top of the
tank, not the filler neck, with diesel fuel.
DANGER
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is off and
is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
5. Install the fuel tank cap. Wipe up any fuel that may
have spilled.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside
the fuel tank.
Draining Water from the Fuel
Filter
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Drain water or other contaminants from the fuel filter
daily.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Open the rear access cover.
3. Turn the drain valve until the water runs out of the
filter (Figure 12).
Note: The fuel filter is located near the bottom
of the fuel tank.
