Adding Fuel; Breaking In A New Machine - Toro Workman MDX-D Operator's Manual

Adding Fuel

The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with
a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that you can use within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below
-7°C (20°F). Use of winter-grade diesel fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and pour point
characteristics, allowing easier starts and lessening
the chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to
lower temperatures.
Using summer-grade diesel fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer life of the fuel-pump
components.
Important:
Never use kerosene or gasoline in
place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution
will damage the engine.

•
Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly.
Remain alert for signs that the machine or its
components are overheating.
•
After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before using the machine.
Note:
Allow more time for the engine to warm up
when operating in cold temperatures.
•
Vary the machine speed during operation. Avoid
fast starts and quick stops.
•
A break-in oil for the engine is not required.
Original engine oil is the same type specified for
regular oil changes.
