Product Overview - Toro 22196 Operator's Manual

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4
of the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then
follow the procedure in this section.
1. Move the mower to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 9).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck (but do not
rotate the cap clockwise to secure it), then remove
it.
6. Read the oil level on the dipstick.
7. If the oil level reading is below the lower limit mark
on the dipstick, remove the dipstick and slowly pour
only enough oil into the filler hole to raise the oil
level to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with
oil and run the engine; engine damage will
result. Drain the excess oil until the oil level
reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
8. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the
cap clockwise until it is tight.
