Draining Water From The Fuel Filter/Water Separator; Check The Engine Oil Level - Toro Wheel Horse 523Dxi Operator's Manual

Check Before Operating
Draining Water from the Fuel
Filter/Water Separator
Any water accumulation should be drained from the
fuel filter/water separator before each use.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
lower the attachment lift, and turn the ignition
key to "STOP" to stop the engine. Remove the
ignition key.
2. Open the hood.
3. Remove the left–hand side panel.
4. Open the drain valve on the fuel filter/water
separator and drain any accumulated water
(Fig. 4).
Note: Because the accumulated water will be
mixed with diesel fuel, drain the fuel
filter into a suitable container and
dispose of properly.

Check the Engine Oil Level

1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
lower the attachment lift, and turn the ignition
key to "STOP" to stop the engine. Remove the
ignition key.
2. Open the hood.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 5) so dirt
cannot fall into the dipstick hole and damage the
engine.
4. Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 6).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the tube. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end. If the oil
level is near or below the lower hole on the
dipstick, remove the filler cap and add oil only
to the upper hole on the dipstick. (Refer to
Engine Oil, page 32, for the correct oil type and
viscosity to use in different temperature
conditions).
6. After filling with or changing the oil, close the
hood, start the engine, and run it at idle for 30
seconds. Shut off the engine. Wait 30 seconds
and check the oil level. Add oil, if required, to
bring the level to the upper hole on the dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because this may result in engine
damage.
