Filling The Fuel Tank; Starting The Engine; Checking The Engine Oil Level - Toro CCR 6053 R Quick Clear Operator's Manual

Filling the Fuel Tank

• For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher
((R+M)/2 rating method).
• Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
• Do Not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as E15
or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by volume.
Performance problems and/or engine damage may
result which may not be covered under warranty.
• Do Not use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do Not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is
used.
• Do Not add oil to gasoline.
1. 1/4 inch (6 mm)
Important: Do not add oil to the gasoline.
Important: Do not use E85 or E20 fuel. Alternative
fuels with high alcohol content can cause hard
starting, poor engine performance, and may cause
internal engine damage.
Note: For best results, purchase only the quantity of
gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise,
you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased gasoline
to keep it fresh for up to 6 months.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

the engine oil level and add oil if
necessary.

3. Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove it.
4. If the oil level is low, keep the machine in the
operating position and carefully pour oil into the
crankcase. Wait 3 minutes, then add oil until the
point of overflow. (Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.6 l), type: SAE
30 detergent oil with an API service classification
of SJ, SL, or higher.)
Note: You may tip the machine forward (handle
up) a little to make adding oil easier. Remember to
return the machine to the operating position before
checking the oil level.
Important: Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of
the machine.
5. Screw the oil fill cap into the oil fill hole and hand
tighten it securely.
