Starting And Shutting Off The Engine - Toro GreensPro 1260 Operator's Manual

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.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 25 mm (1 inch)
below the top of the tank. This empty space in
the tank allows the fuel to expand.
• 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. Do not buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• 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 fuel-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and fuel the equipment
with the wheels on the ground. If this is not
possible, then fuel such equipment on a truck
or trailer from a portable container, rather than
from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
Fuel-Tank Capacity: 3.6 L (0.95 US gallons)
1. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove the
cap from the tank (Figure
pump octane minimum) gasoline, fill the fuel tank to
approximately 25 mm (1 inch) below the top of the
tank to allow for fuel expansion.
Important: Do not overfill the tank. Adding
fuel in excess of the prescribed level will result
in engine failure due to saturation of the vapor
recovery system, resulting in engine performance
failure. This is not a warrantable failure and will
require replacement of the fuel-tank cap.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives, premium
gasoline, or white gas because the fuel system
could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
