Checking The Tire Pressure; Checking The Torque Of The Wheel-Lug Nuts; Checking The Safety-Interlock System - Toro Groundsmaster 3500-D Operator's Manual

Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7° C (20° F) and winter
grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Using winter grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which will ease starting and reduce fuel filter plugging.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7° C (20° F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel
of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The
petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM
D975 or EN590.
•
Biodiesel blends may damage painted surfaces.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may degrade over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor for more information about
biodiesel fuel.
1. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap
25).
2. Remove the fuel-tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck. Do
not overfill. Install the cap.
4. To prevent a fire hazard, wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
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.
The correct air pressure in the tires is 97 to 124 kPa
(14 to 18 psi) as shown in
Important:
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before
operating the machine.

Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel-lug nuts to 61 to 88 N∙m (45 to 65
ft-lb).
WARNING
Failing to maintain proper torque of the
wheel-lug nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel-lug nuts to the proper
