Before Operating

Add Engine Oil

Crankcase must be filled with the proper viscosity, grade
and quantity of oil before staring.
Refer to Engine Operator's Manual for oil requirements.
1. Position mower so the engine is level and clean around
oil level gauge (Fig. 5).

1. Oil level gauge
2. Remove gauge by rotating counterclockwise.
3. Wipe gauge clean and insert it into filler port. Then
remove and check level of oil. Do not screw into port.
If level is low, add only enough oil to raise level to
filler opening.
Note: The TORO Company recommends that the oil level
be checked each time mower is used or after every 5
operating hours. Initially, change oil after the first 25
hours of operation; thereafter, change oil after every 50
hours of operation. More frequent oil changes are required
in dusty or dirty conditions.

Fill Fuel Tank

Refer to Engine Operator's Manual for fuel requirements.
1. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap from tank
(Fig. 6). Fill fuel tank no higher than to bottom of
filter screen. DO NOT OVER FILL.

2. Install fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Because gasoline is flammable, caution must
be used when storing or handling it. Do not
fill fuel tank while engine is running, hot or
when machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors
may build up and be ignited by a spark or
flame source many feet away. DO NO SMOKE
while filling the fuel tank to prevent the
possibility of an explosion. Always fill fuel
tank outside and wipe up any spilled
gasoline before starting engine. Use a funnel
or spout to prevent spilling gasoline, and fill
tank no higher than to bottom of filter
screen. DO NOT OVER FILL. Store gasoline
in a clean safety approved container and
keep the cap on the container. Keep gasoline
in a cool, well-ventilated place; never in an
enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To
assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30
day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for
internal combustion engines; therefore do
not use it for any other purpose. Since many
children like the smell of gas, keep it out of
their reach because the fumes are explosive
and dangerous to inhale.
