Checking The Engine Oil Level; Using The Rollover Protection; System (Rops) - Toro Z149 Z Master 74411 Operator's Manual

• Cleans the engine while it runs
• Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
Important: Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas
stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To
minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel
system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove
the cap.
3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel
tanks, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm
to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tanks completely
full.
4. Install fuel tank caps securely.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

bar is in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances
(i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires)
before driving under any objects and do
not contact them.
Important: Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
