•
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
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.

Adding Fuel
Fill the tank to about 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch)
below the top of the tank, not the filler neck, with No.
2-D diesel fuel.
Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use; this
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside
the fuel tank.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not underinflate the tires.
The correct air pressure in the tires is 172 to 207 kPa
(25 to 30 psi).
Important:
Maintain the recommended pressure
in all tires to ensure a good quality of cut and
proper machine performance. Do not under-inflate
the tires.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before
operating the machine.
