  • Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety decals.

  • Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine quickly.

  • Check that the operator's presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.

  • Locate the pinch-point areas marked on the machine and attachments; keep your hands and feet away from these areas.

  • Before operating the machine with an attachment, ensure that the attachment is properly installed and that it is a genuine Toro attachment. Read all the attachment manuals.

  • Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments you need to properly and safely perform the job.

  • Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and other objects, and do not dig in marked areas; note the location of unmarked objects and structures, such as underground storage tanks, wells, and septic systems.

  • Inspect the area where you will use the equipment and remove all debris.

  • Ensure that the area is clear of bystanders before operating the machine. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

Fuel Safety

  • Use extra care when handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive.

  • Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

  • Use only an approved fuel container.

  • Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

  • Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.

  • Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.

  • If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

Adding Fuel

Recommended Fuel

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 you can use 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. Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.

Using 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 will damage 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 degrade over time.

  • Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

  • Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.

Filling the Fuel Tanks

Fuel tank capacity: 41 L (11 US gallons)

Fill the fuel tanks as shown in Figure 23.

Note: The fuel-tank caps click when you close them securely. Use the brackets to lock the fuel tanks.

g029669
