Remove the cover from the air cleaner body.
Before removing the filter, use low pressure air
(275 kPa [40 psi], clean and dry) to help remove
large accumulations of debris packed between
outside of primary filter and the canister.
Avoid
using high pressure air which could force
dirt through the filter into the intake tract.
This cleaning process prevents debris from
migrating into the intake when the primary filter
is removed.
3.
Remove and replace the primary filter (
Cleaning of the used element is not
recommended due to the possibility of damage
to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for
shipping damage, checking the sealing end of
the filter and the body.
Do not use a damaged
element.
Insert the new filter by applying
pressure to the outer rim of the element to seat
it in the canister.
Do not apply pressure to the
flexible center of the filter.

Checking the Engine Oil
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, check the oil level before and after the
engine is first started.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
•
API Classification Level Required: CH-4, CI-4 or
higher.
•
Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40: above -18°C (0°F)
•
Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all
temperatures)
Note:
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your
distributor in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity. See
the
Parts Catalog
for part numbers.
Note:
The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain
back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before
checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full
mark.
Do not overfill the engine.
If the oil level is
between the Full and Add marks, no oil addition is
required.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, shut off the engine, engage the
parking brake, and remove the key.
2.
Release the hood latch and open the hood
(
).
