Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine Oil Level; Checking The Cooling System; Checking The Hydraulic System - Toro 30695 Operator's Manual

•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they
may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blended.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish more information
on biodiesel.
DANGER
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.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• 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 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate machine 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 fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• 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 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.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Park the machine on a level surface.
Important: The fuel tanks are connected, but the
fuel does not transfer quickly from one tank to the
other. It is important when filling that you park
on a level surface. If you park on a hill, you may
inadvertently overfill the tanks.
2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
3. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
Important: Do not open the fuel tanks when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the level is even with
the bottom of the filler neck
fill the fuel tanks.
1. Bottom of the filler neck
5. Install the fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any fuel
that may have spilled.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tanks after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.

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 the Engine
Oil Level in the Maintenance Section.

Checking the Cooling System

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the
cooling system; refer to Checking the Cooling System in the
Maintenance Section.
Checking the Hydraulic
