Checking The Air Intake Screen; Checking The Brake Fluid; Checking The Transaxle/Hydraulic Fluid - Toro 41163 Operator's Manual

Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded
gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 6 US gallons
(21 L).
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows the
fuel level; check it frequently.
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
