Fill Fuel Tank - Toro 30241 Operator's Manual

The following list is not assumed to be all–inclusive.
Hydraulic fluids produced by other manufacturers may be
used if they can cross reference to find an equivalent to the
products listed. Toro will not assume responsibility for
damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only
products from reputable manufacturers who will stand
behind their recommendation.

Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it
difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic
system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml) bottles. One bottle
is sufficient for 4–6 gal (15–22 1) of hydraulic oil. Order
part no.44–2500 from your authorized Toro distributor.
1. Position machine on a level surface. Place all control in
neutral position and start the engine. Run engine at
lowest possible RPM to purge the system of air. DO
NOT ENGAGE PTO. Cycle steering wheel several
times fully to the left and right. Raise the cutting unit to
extend lift cylinders, aiming steering wheels straight
forward and stop the engine.
2. Remove dipstick cap (Fig. 19) from filler neck and wipe
it with a clean rag. Screw dipstick cap finger-tight onto
filler neck; then remove it and check level of fluid. If
level is not within 1/2 inch (13 mm) from the groove in
the dipstick (Fig. 19), add enough high quality
hydraulic fluid to raise level to groove mark. Do not
overfill.

Fill Fuel Tank

Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
1. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel tank cap.
2. Remove cap from the fuel tank (Fig. 20).
3. Fill the 8.5 gallon (32 l) tank to within 1 inch (25 mm)
from the bottom of the filler neck with diesel fuel.
4. Install fuel tank cap tightly after filling tank.
