Adding Fuel - Toro 07264 Operator's Manual

less the compaction, smoother the ride, and tire
marks are minimized. Lower pressure should not
be used for heavy payloads at high speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier
payloads at higher speeds. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure.

Adding Fuel

Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable
for automotive use (87 pump octane minimum).
Leaded gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
Important: Never use gasoline containing
methanol, gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol, gasoline additives, or white gas
because engine fuel system damage could
result.
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline 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 gasoline that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline,
and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark
which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire
or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and can damage property.
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do not fill gasoline 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 gas-powered
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
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline 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.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 7 gallons
(26.5 l).
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap
(Figure 21).
