Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro Reelmaster 03781 Operator's Manual

CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the
pressurized, hot coolant can escape and cause
burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the
engine is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.

1. Expansion tank
2. Check the coolant level in the radiator.
Note: The radiator should be filled to the top of the
filler neck and the expansion tank filled to the Full
mark (Figure 37).
3. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of water and
ethylene glycol antifreeze.
Note: Do not use water only or
alcohol/methanol-based coolants.
4. Install the radiator cap and the expansion-tank cap.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fuel-tank capacity: 83 L (22 US gallons).
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel with ultra-low (<15
ppm) sulfur content meeting ASTM D 975 or EN 590
specifications. The minimum cetane rating should be 40.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days
to ensure fuel freshness.
Important: Use of non-ultra-low sulfur fuel will cause
damage to the engine emission system.
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. Use of winter-grade
fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
cold flow characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
plugging of the fuel filter.
Use of summer-grade fuel above -7° C (20° F) will contribute
toward longer fuel-pump life and increased power compared
to winter-grade fuel.
Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.
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.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold
weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, and gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degraded over time.
•
Plugging of the fuel filter may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.

•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and fuel tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep fuel away from eyes and skin.
