Checking The Oil Level; Operation - Toro 62925 Operator's Manual

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to
provide the following benefits:
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel tank
be drained.
Cleans the engine while it runs
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
Important
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when
mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of
varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at
all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface and stop the
engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it.
4. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level
is 1 in. (26 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
Important
This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

Checking the Oil Level

Important The machine is shipped without oil in the
crankcase. You must fill the crankcase with 20 oz. (0.6 l)
of SAE 30 or 10W-30, high quality detergent oil with an
API classification of SF, SG, or SH. Severe engine
damage will result if you attempt to run it without oil.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and stop the
engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 10).

4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 10).
5. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube and
tighten it (Fig. 10).
6. Remove the dipstick and look at the metal end.
7. If the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into
the dipstick tube to raise the level to the F (full) mark.
Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
8. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

Operation

Warning
An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects
to be thrown in operator's or bystander's
direction which may cause serious injury.
Never operate the vacuum unless the bag is
installed.
Warning
The traction belt drive pulley is rotating whenever
the engine is running, even when the traction
drive is disengaged. Contact with the pulley could
cause severe injury.
Stay away from moving pulleys and other parts.
