Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Checking the Engine Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily

1. Stop the machine on a level surface.

2. Set the throttle to slow, turn off the engine switch, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

3. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 7) so that dirt cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.

Figure 7

1. Dipstick

4. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe the end clean (Figure 7).

5. Screw the dipstick fully onto the filler tube (Figure 7).

6. Unscrew the dipstick again and look at the end. If the engine oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler tube to raise the level to the Full mark on the dipstick.

Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with engine oil and run the engine; engine damage may result.

Cleaning Debris from the Machine Service Interval: Before each use or daily

1. Set the throttle to slow, stop the engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

WARNING Contact with hot parts on the machine can cause severe burns.

Wait for all parts to cool before touching the machine.

2. Brush dirt and debris away from the air cleaner and engine openings.

Adding Fuel For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline

with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).

Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE by volume is acceptable.

Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as E15 or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by volume. Performance problems and/or engine damage may result which may not be covered under warranty.

Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.

Do not add oil to gasoline.

DANGER In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.

Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.

Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

9

DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment on a flat surface.

If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to provide the following benefits:

Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel tank be drained.

Cleans the engine while it runs

Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system, which causes hard starting

Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.

Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.

Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Set the throttle to slow, turn off the engine switch, and

wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Allow the engine to cool.

3. Models 68072 and 68073 only: raise the cover (Figure 8).

Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with the use of the Toro Products covered by this warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under this warranty. All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are limited to the duration of this express warranty. Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Except for the engine warranty coverage and the Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty. The Emissions Control System on your Product may be covered by a separate warranty meeting requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Refer to the California Emission Control Warranty Statement supplied with your Product or contained in the engine manufacturers documentation for details.
