Adding Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro Groundsmaster 360 31223 Operator's Manual

Adding Fuel

Fuel Specification
•
Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel
fuel.
•
Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the
diesel fuel.
•
Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on
the inside.
•
Do not use fuel additives.
Petroleum Diesel
Cetane rating: 40 or higher
Sulfur content: Low sulfur (<500 ppm) or ultra-low
sulfur (<15 ppm)
Fuel Table
Diesel fuel specification
ASTM D975
No. 1-D S15

ISO 8217 DMX
JIS K2204 Grade No. 2
KSM-2610
•
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Note:
Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Using Biodiesel
This machine can also use a biodiesel-blended fuel of
up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel).
Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)
Biodiesel fuel specification: ASTM D6751 or
EN14214
Blended fuel specification: ASTM D975, EN590,
or JIS K2204
Location
USA
European Union
International
Japan
Korea
Important:
The petroleum diesel portion must
be ultra-low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
Biodiesel blends may damage painted surfaces.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may degrade over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after you
convert to biodiesel blends.
•
For more information on biodiesel, contact your
authorized Toro distributor.
Fuel Tank Capacity
51 L (13.5 US gallons)

Filling the Fuel Tank

Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
minimizes possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is even with the
bottom of the filler neck. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
