Checking The Coolant Level - Toro 07383 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Gasoline 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 gas tank or
conditioner bottle opening.
• Avoid contact with skin; wash off spillage with
soap and water.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine 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. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
2. Remove the fuel-tank cap (Figure 17).

1. Fuel-tank cap
3. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top of the
tank, (bottom of the filler neck), then install the cap.
Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a
fire hazard.

Checking the Coolant Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Cooling system capacity: 3.7 L (4 US qt)
Coolant type: a 50/50 solution of water and permanent
ethylene-glycol antifreeze.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot
coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap.
• Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes or
until the radiator cap is cool enough to touch
without burning your hand.
• Use a rag when opening the reserve tank cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.
• Do not check the coolant level at the radiator;
only check the coolant level at the reserve tank.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level inside the reserve tank (Figure
18).
Note: The coolant should be up to the bottom of the
filler neck when the engine is cold.
