Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine Oil Level; Checking The Cooling System; Checking The Hydraulic System - Toro 30363N Operator's Manual

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 (Figure 10). Do
not over 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.
