Using Stabilizer/Conditioner - Toro 74760 Operator's Manual

DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the fuel
reaches the base 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.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire
or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
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, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from 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.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause
serious injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank
or conditioner opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
Using
Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
•
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. For longer storage it is recommended that
the fuel tank be drained.
•
Cleans the engine while it runs.
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
