Checking The Cooling System - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

In certain conditions, fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel 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 fuel
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in.
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows 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 an approved container and keep
it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling
• Do not fill fuel 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 fuel
dispenser nozzle.
• If a fuel 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.

3. Fill the tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13
mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. Do not
overfill. Install the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

Checking the Cooling System

The capacity of the cooling system is approximately 3.6
qts. (3.4 l). Refer to Cleaning the Radiator and Screen.
1. Radiator screen
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check
the level of the coolant at the beginning of each day
before starting the engine.
