Before Operating; Check Crankcase Oil; Fill Fuel Tank - Toro 07363 Operator's Manual

Before Operating

Caution
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and
remove key from the switch. Any load material
must be removed from bed or other attachment
before working under raised bed. Always rotate
safety support to the down position before working
under raised bed.

Check Crankcase Oil

The engine is shipped with approximately 2 quarts
(w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, level of oil must
be checked before and after the engine is first started.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated fully.
Remove dipstick and check level of oil. If oil level is
low, remove filler cap and add enough oil to raise level
to FULL mark on dipstick.

3. The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil having
the American Petroleum Institute -API- "service
classification" SH, SJ or higher. Oil viscosity – weight –
is selected according to anticipated ambient
temperature.
Temperature/ viscosity recommendations are:
• Above 0 degrees F (–20 degrees C)–Use 10W–30
or 10W–40
• Below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C)–Use SAE 5W–20
or 5W–30.

4. Pour oil into fill opening until the oil level is up to the
"FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow proper
venting, pour oil slowly and check the level often during
this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Important
When adding engine oil or filling oil, there
must be clearance between the oil fill device and the oil fill
hole in the valve cover as shown in figure 8. This clearance
is necessary to permit venting when filling, which prevents
oil from overrunning into breather.
Figure 8
Important Check level of oil every 8 operating hours
or daily. Change oil and filter initially after the first 5 hours
of operation, thereafter, change oil and filter every 50
hours. However, change oil more frequently when engine is
operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the engine
at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and
check oil level. Add enough oil to raise level to FULL mark
on dipstick.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.

Fill Fuel Tank

Fuel tank capacity is approximately 7 gallons.
The Toro Company Strongly Recommends The Use Of
Fresh, Clean, Unleaded Regular Grade Gasoline In
Toro Gasoline Powered Products. Unleaded Gasoline
Burns Cleaner, Extends Engine Life, And Promotes
Good Starting By Reducing The Build–up of
Combustion Chamber Deposits. Minimum Octane
Rating of 87.
Note: Never Use Methanol, Gasoline Containing
Methanol, Gasoline Containing More Than 10%
Ethanol, Gasoline Additives, or White Gas Because
Engine Fuel System Damage Could Result.
