3. Rotate the drain valve counterclockwise approximately
3-1/2 turns until the valve drops down from the
fuel-water separator
Note: The valve should extend 25 mm (1 inch) from
the separator.

4. Drain the water and sediment from the separator until
clear fuel is visible
(Figure
5. Lift up the valve and turn it clockwise until it is hand
tight
(Figure
22).
Note: Do not overtighten the drain valve of the
fuel-water separator; overtightening the valve can
damage the threads of the valve.

Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note: The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, check the oil level before and after you first start
the engine.
Oil specification: API classification of CJ-4 or higher
Use only high-quality SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil with
an API classification of CJ-4 or higher.
While SAE 15W-40 oil with an API classification of CJ-4 or
higher is recommended for most climates, refer to
for oil viscosity recommendations for extreme climates.
Note: Limited use of low-viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30
with an API classification of CJ-4 or higher can be used for
easier starting and providing sufficient oil flow at ambient
temperatures below -5°C (23°F). However, continuous use of
low-viscosity oil can decrease engine life.
Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from an Authorized
Toro Service Dealer in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity
with API classification CJ-4 or higher. See the Parts Catalog
for part numbers. Also, refer to the engine operator's manual,
included with the machine, for further recommendations.
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too low
or too high and you run the engine, you may damage
the engine.
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If the oil
level is at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to
the engine to bring the oil level up to the Full mark. Do not
overfill. If the oil level is between the Full and Add marks on
the dipstick, you do not need to add oil.
1. Ensure that the machine is on a level surface.
2. Lower all attachments, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the key.
Note: If you have run the engine, allow at least 15
minutes for the engine oil to settle in the crankcase.
3. Remove the left-side panel; refer to
Panels (page
46).
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a clean
cloth
(Figure
24).
