Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro 30411 Groundsmaster 4100-D Operator's Manual

If the engine has been running, the
pressurized, hot coolant can escape and
cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when
the engine is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator
cap, and open the cap slowly to allow
steam to escape.
2. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The
radiator should be filled to the top of the filler
neck and the expansion tank filled to the Full
mark.

3. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of
water and ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Do not
use water only or alcohol/methanol base
coolants.
4. Install the radiator cap and expansion tank cap.

Filling the Fuel Tank

The capacity of the fuel tank is 19 gallons (72 l).
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (Figure 8).
2. Fill the tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) below the
top of the tank, not the filler neck, with No. 2
diesel fuel. Then install the cap.
Figure 8
1. Fuel tank cap
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.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 8 U.S. gallons (30.2 l) of high quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic
fluid before the engine is first started and
daily thereafter. The recommended replacement
fluid is:
Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid
(Available in 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See
parts catalog or Toro distributor for part numbers.)
