Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Cooling System - Toro Reelmaster 3100-D Series Operator's Manual

4. If the oil level is low, remove the oil-fill cap
(Figure 37) and gradually add small quantities of
oil, checking the level frequently, until the level
reaches the Full mark on the dipstick.

5. Install the oil-fill cap and close the hood.
Important:
Keep the engine-oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the oil
gauge. Engine failure may occur as a result
of overfilling or underfilling the engine oil.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with
low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content.
The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days
to ensure fuel freshness.
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 28 L (7.5 US
gallons).
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
(No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower
temperatures provides a lower flash point and cold
flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces
plugging of the fuel filter.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter grade fuel.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel
of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The
petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM
D975 or EN590.

•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel
blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time
after converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact a distributor for more information on
biodiesel blended fuel.
