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.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline 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
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.
• 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.
1. Remove the cap from the fuel tank (Figure 9) and
fill the 10 gallon tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) from
the top of tank (the bottom of the filler neck) with
unleaded gasoline. Install the fuel tank cap tightly.

2. Wipe up gasoline that may have spilled to prevent a
fire hazard.
Checking the Gear Case Fluid
Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 4-5 quarts of high quality hydraulic
fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid, on the
sight gauge, before the engine is first started and daily
thereafter. The recommended replacement fluid is:
Mobil DTE 26
Alternate fluids: If this fluid is not available, other
fluids may be used provided they meet all the following
material properties and industry specifications. We do
not recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult
with your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory
product.
Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage
caused by improper substitutions, so use only products
from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind
their recommendation.
