Fuel Specification
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with
low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content.
The minimum cetane rating should be 40. 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 (No.
1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature.
Use of winter grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter grade fuel.
Important:
Do not use kerosene or gasoline
instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this
caution damages the engine.
Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel
of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The
petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM
D975 or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel
blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may be degraded over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time
after converting to biodiesel blended.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
Fuel Tank Capacity
53 L (14 US gallons)
Adding Fuel
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2.
Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel-tank
cap.
3.
Remove the cap from the fuel tank (
).

Fuel-tank cap
4.
Fill the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to
1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.
5.
Install the fuel-tank cap tightly after filling the
tank.
Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use.
This minimizes possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
Performing Daily
Maintenance
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Before starting the machine each day, perform the

(page 37)
.
Checking the Interlock
Switches
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged, the machine could operate
unexpectedly, causing personal injury.
•
Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
•
Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
Important:
If your machine fails any of the
interlock switch checks, contact your authorized
Toro distributor.
