Filling The Fuel Tank; Checking The Engine-Oil Level - Toro 38741 Operator's Manual

Filling the Fuel Tank

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
•
Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such
as E15 or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by
volume. Performance problems and/or engine
damage may result which may not be covered
under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless you use a fuel
stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck
(Figure 8).
Note:
For best results, purchase only the quantity
of fuel that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise,
you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased fuel to
keep it fresh for up to 6 months.
