Changing The Engine Oil - Toro 74840 Operator's Manual

Note: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase.
Never operate the engine with the oil level below the
"ADD" or "L" mark or above the "FULL" or "F"
mark on the dipstick.
8. Remove dipstick and check oil level. The level should
be between the "Full or F" and "Add or L" marks. If
low, add oil of the proper type up to the full mark.
Reinstall oil fill cap/dipstick and screw tight.

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours (more often under
dusty, dirty conditions)
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.
1. Start the engine and let it run five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to assure the oil drains
completely.
3. Disengage the blade control switch (PTO), move the
motion control levers to the neutral lock position
and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position (Figure 38).
