Fuel Specification; Using Stabilizer/Conditioner; Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro Spray Master Series Operator's Manual

Fuel Specification

Petroleum Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
fuel or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
Use an unleaded-gasoline blend with up to 10%
ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary
butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is
Ethanol
not approved for use. Never use gasoline that
blended
contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such
fuel
as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains
20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85%
ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage
which may not be covered under warranty.
Important:
For best results, use only clean, fresh
fuel (less than 30 days old).
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless you use a fuel
stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Using
Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner
to the gasoline.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the
chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, always
use fuel stabilizer.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fuel tank capacity: 22.7 L (5 US gallons)
1. Park the machine on a level surface and shut
off the engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it
(Figure 15).
4. Fill the tank with fuel
of the filler neck. Do not fill into the filler neck
of the tank.
Important:
Do not fill the tank more than
the bottom of the filler neck because the fuel
needs room to expand.
5. Install the fuel-tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
