Toro Groundsmaster 7210 Operator's Manual page 18

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Note:
Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Biodiesel
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of
up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel).
Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)
Biodiesel fuel specification: ASTM D6751 or
EN14214
Blended fuel specification: ASTM D975, EN590,
or JIS K2204
Important:
The petroleum diesel portion must
be ultra-low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
Biodiesel blends may damage painted surfaces.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time
after converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor if you
wish for more information on biodiesel.
Fuel Tank Capacity
43.5 L (11.5 US gallons)
Filling the Fuel Tank
Important:
The fuel tanks are connected, but the
fuel does not transfer quickly from one tank to the
other. It is important when filling that you park
on a level surface. If you park on a hill, you may
inadvertently overfill the tanks.
Important:
Do not overfill the fuel tanks.
Important:
Do not open the fuel tanks when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
Important:
The fuel tanks are connected,
but the fuel does not transfer quickly from
one tank to the other. It is important when
filling that you park on a level surface. If you
park on a hill, you may inadvertently overfill
the tanks.
2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
3. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove
the cap.
Important:
Do not open the fuel tanks when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the level is even
with the bottom of the filler neck
not over fill the fuel tanks.
1. Bottom of the filler neck
5. Install the fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
fuel that may have spilled.
Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tanks after each use.
This will minimize possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
