Checking The Machine Daily; Fuel Safety; Checking The Tire Air Pressure; Adding Fuel - Toro Groundsmaster 3300 Series Operator's Manual

Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that the machine could
throw.

Fuel Safety

•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.

Checking the Machine Daily

Check the following machine systems each day
before operating the machine:
•
Air-cleaner indicator; refer to
Cleaner (page 46)
•
Engine oil; refer to
(page 44)
•
Coolant system; refer to
System and Coolant Level (page 52)
•
Hood screen and radiator; refer to
Cooling Fins (page 53)
•
Hydraulic system; refer to
Hydraulic-Fluid Level (page 58)
•
PTO-shaft grease points; refer to
Bearings and Bushings (page 42)
Checking the Tire Air
Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire air pressure specification: 138 kPa (20 psi)
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not underinflate the tires.

Check the air pressure in the front and rear tires. Add
or remove air as needed to set the air pressure in the
tires to the tire air pressure specification.
Important:
Maintain pressure in all tires to
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before
operating the machine.

Adding Fuel

Fuel Specification
Important:
Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel.
Failure to observe the following cautions may
damage the engine.
•
Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel
fuel.
•
Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the
diesel fuel.
•
Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on
the inside.
•
Do not use fuel additives.
•
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within
180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Petroleum Diesel
Cetane rating: 40 or higher
Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Note:
Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
