Checking The Interlock Switches - Toro 03956 Operator's Manual

Fuel Table (cont'd.)
JIS K2204 Grade No. 2
KSM-2610
•
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
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 for more
information on biodiesel.
Adding Fuel
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel-tank
cap.
3. Remove the cap from the fuel tank

1. Fuel-tank cap
4. Fill the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to
1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.
5. Install the fuel-tank cap tightly after filling the
tank.
Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use.
This minimizes possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
Checking the Interlock
Switches
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged, the machine could operate
unexpectedly, causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
Important:
If your machine fails any of the
interlock switch checks, contact your authorized
Toro distributor.
Preparing the Machine
1. Drive the machine slowly to an open area.
2. Lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, and
engage the parking brake.
Checking the Traction Pedal
Start-Interlock
1. Sit in the operator's seat.
2. Engage the parking brake.
