Checking The Cooling System - Toro 04384 Operator's Manual

•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975
or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
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 distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine 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 25 mm (1 inch)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows 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 an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its
wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a fuel dispenser
nozzle.
• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap (Figure 23).

2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2
inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. Do not
overfill. Install the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
