Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your Authorized
Toro Dealer.
Important: Use 4-cycle detergent engine oil that meets
or exceeds the requirements for API service category
SJ, SL, SM, or higher .
Crankcase Capacity: 1.0 L (1.06 US qt)
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too low
or too high and you run the engine, you may damage
the engine. This type of damage is not covered by the
warranty.
Note: Use SAE 10W-30 for general use. You can use
the other viscosities shown in the chart when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range

6. Insert the dipstick fully into the fill hole, but do not
screw it in
7. Remove the dipstick again and look at the end. If the
engine oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into
the fill hole to raise the level to the Full mark on the
dipstick

Adding Fuel

Capacity: 5.6 L (1.48 US gallons)
Recommended Fuel:
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved
(Figure
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel
G021783
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old; run the machine dry before storing
it for more than 30 days.
Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel stabilizers
with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or
isopropanol.
