Checking The Tire Air Pressure; Adding Fuel - Toro Workman MD Operator's Manual

Checking the Tire Air Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire Air Pressure Range: 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22psi)
Important: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure
indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The air pressure needed in the tires is determined by
the payload that you intend to carry.
1. Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note: The air pressure range in the front and rear tires
is 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22psi).
•
Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less the soil compaction, for a
smoother the ride, and to minimize tire marks in
the ground.
•
Use higher air pressure in the tires for carrying
heavier payloads at higher speeds.
2. If needed, adjust the air pressure in the tires by adding
or removing air in the tires.

Adding Fuel

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains
more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or
E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine
damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
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.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows fuel to expand.
• 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 fuel-powered 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.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 26.5 L (7 US gallons).
1. Shut off the engine and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap
