Checking The Engine Oil Level - Toro 22323 Operator's Manual

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.

clean around the oil filler cap and remove the cap

9. Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover to
raise the level to the top hole on the dipstick.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with
oil because the engine may be damaged.
