Checking The Engine Oil Level; Using The Rollover Protection System (Rops) - Toro 74410 Operator's Manual

Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the
chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel
stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel tanks,
until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck.
This space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Do not fill the fuel tanks completely full.
4. Install fuel tank caps securely.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check
the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking
Oil Level in Engine Maintenance , page 28
Using the Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep the
roll bar in the raised locked position and use
the seat belt.
Ensure that the rear part of the seat is secured
with the seat latch.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar
is in the down position.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
• Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is
in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact
them.
Important: Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
1. To lower the roll bar, loosen the front knobs
(Figure 9).
2. Remove the hairpin cotter pins and remove the two
pins (Figure 8).
3. Lower the roll bar to the down position. There are
two down positions. See Figure 7 for the positions.
4. Install the two pins and secure them with the
hairpin cotter pins (Figure 8).
1. Full down position
Important: Ensure that the rear part of the
seat is secured with the seat latch.
