Using Stabilizer/Conditioner; Filling The Fuel Tank; Check Engine Oil Level - Toro 74270 Operator's Manual

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Petrol is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long–term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer to laboratory animals.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Failure to use caution may result in serious
injury or illness
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
Keep face away from nozzle and petrol
tank or conditioner opening.
Keep petrol away from eyes and skin.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
Keeps petrol fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. For longer storage it is recommended that
the fuel tank be drained.
Cleans the engine while it runs
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of petrol
stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh petrol.
To minimize the chance of varnish
deposits in the fuel system, use fuel
stabilizer at all times.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel
tanks, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to
13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This
space in the tank allows petrol to expand. Do not
fill the fuel tanks completely full.
3. Install fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
petrol that may have spilled.

Check Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking Oil Level, page 44.
