Pre-Starting Checks - Toro 41177 Multi-Pro 1250 Operator's Manual

In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire
or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do not fill gasoline 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 gas-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
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline 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.
Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable
for automotive use (87 pump octane minimum).
Leaded gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
Important: Never use gasoline containing
methanol, gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol, gasoline additives, or white gas
because engine fuel system damage could
result.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 6 US
gallons (21 L).
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which
shows the fuel level; check it frequently.
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap
(Figure 22).

3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top
of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck). This
space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Do not overfill.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

Pre-Starting Checks

Check the following items each time you begin
using the sprayer for the day:
• Check the tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires;
they require less pressure to minimize turf
compaction and damage.
• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate
amount of specified fluids, if any are found to
be low.
• Check the brake pedal operation.
• Check to see that the lights are working.
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to
check steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure the engine
is off and all moving parts have stopped before
checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and other
malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify
your mechanic or check with your supervisor
