CHECK CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 1)
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, check the
level before and after the engine is first started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 2.48 l.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Push the
dipstick down into the dipstick tube and make sure it is seated
fully. Pull the dipstick out and check the level of oil.
3.
If the oil level is low, add enough oil to raise the level to the
FULL mark on the dipstick. Use oil having the APl “service
classification” SF. Oil viscosity—weight—is selected accord-
ing to anticipated ambient temperature. Temperature/ viscosity
recommendations are:
A.
Above 32° F (0° C)Use SAE 30. The use of multi-weight
oil above 32° F (0° C) is not recommended due to
increased oil consumption and excessive combustion
chamber deposits.
B.
Below 32° F (0° C)Use SAE 5W-2O or 5W-30, and if
they are not available, 10W-30 or 10W-40 are acceptable
substitutes.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 5 operating
hours or daily. Change the oil after every 50 hours of oper-
ation.

THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE
OF FRESH, CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASO-
LINE IN TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEAD-
ED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE,
AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE
BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. LEAD-
ED GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF UNLEADED IS NOT AVAIL-

Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the
engine, pull wires off the spark plugs and remove the key from the
switch.
