Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro 03806 Operator's Manual

If the engine has been running, pressurized
hot coolant can escape and cause burns if
the radiator cap is removed.
Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes
or until the radiator cap is cool enough to
touch without burning hands.
1. Carefully remove radiator cap and expansion
tank cap (Figure 19).
2. Check level of coolant in radiator and in
expansion tank (Figure 19).
Radiator should be filled to the top of the filler
neck and the expansion tank filled to the Full
mark.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you
and others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank
outdoors, in an open area, when the
engine is off and 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
1 in. (25 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. 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 a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
Capacity of fuel tank is 15 gal (57 l).
1. Remove fuel tank cap (Figure 21).
