Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
vehicle is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%
methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
The recommended oil to use is Toro 0W-
40 All Weather synthetic engine oil,
which has been specifically formulated
for use in this engine. Although Toro 0W-
40 All Weather synthetic engine oil is the
only oil recommended for use in this
engine, use of any API certified SM 0W-
40 synthetic oil is acceptable.

NOTE: If the vehicle will be oper-
ated
under
severe
conditions
(heavy pulling or loading, extremely
high ambient air temperatures, or
extended
high-speed
operation),
Toro
recommends
installing
an
engine oil cooler kit if not so
equipped. For additional informa-
tion, see your local authorized Toro
ROV dealer.
Recommended Front
Differential/Rear Drive
Lubricant
NOTE: Toro recommends the use
of genuine Toro lubricants.
The recommended front differential/rear
drive lubricant is SAE approved 80W-90
hypoid. This lubricant meets all of the
lubrication requirements of this vehicle.
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank past the full mark. If over-
filled, gas may leak out creating a fire
hazard.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only recom-
mended gasoline additives should be
used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended
oil
could
cause
serious
engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum addi-
tives. These oils can adversely affect
clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-
detergent, and castor-based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the
recommended lubricant could cause
serious front differential/rear drive
damage.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
gas tank near any open flames or with
the engine running or hot. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
