Filling The Fuel Tank; Starting And Stopping The Engine - Toro Pro Sneak 360 Operator's Manual

Filling the Fuel Tank

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.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• 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. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark which
can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• 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 equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a truck or trailer from a portable container,
rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.

Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt.
2. Ensure that all of the control levers are in the Neutral
or Stop position.
3. Move the throttle lever midway between the Slow and
Fast positions.
4. Turn the ignition key to the Start position. When the
engines starts, release the key.
Important: Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to
start, allow a 30 second cool-down period between
attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can
burn out the starter motor.
5. Move the throttle lever to desired setting.
Important: If the engine is run at high speeds
when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the
ambient air temperature is near freezing or lower),
hydraulic system damage could occur. When
starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the
engine to run in the middle throttle position for
2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast
(rabbit).
