Checking The Engine Oil Level - Toro MB-1600 Operator's Manual

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
Fuel tank capacity: 21.6 liters (5.7 US gallons).
1. Park the machine on a level surface and stop the engine.
Allow the engine to cool.
2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it.
3. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is
just 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.
4. Install the fuel tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
