Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine-Oil Level; Think Safety First; Operating The Parking Brake - Toro 30672 Operator's Manual

Important:
Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner
to the fuel.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh fuel. To minimize
the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system,
use fuel stabilizer at all times.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Shut off the engine and engage the parking
brake.
2. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove the
cap. Add fuel to the tank, until the level is 6 to
13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the
filler neck.
Note:
This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Install the fuel-tank cap securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
Checking the Engine-Oil
Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
