Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine-Oil Level - Toro ProStripe 560 Operator's Manual

– Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

Filling the Fuel Tank

DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
fuel, place the container and/or machine
directly on the ground before filling, not in
a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle fuel when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).

Checking the Engine-Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important:
If the oil level in the engine is too low or too high and you run the engine, you may damage
the engine.
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
•
Ethanol: Gasoline 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 not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains more than
10% ethanol by volume, such 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.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel
containers over the winter unless you use a fuel
stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all gasoline. Mix the stabilizer
with gasoline less than 30 days old.
Note:
Do not fill above the bottom of the fuel-tank
neck.
