Toro 20067, 20066 manual Operation, Filling the Fuel Tank, Checking the Engine Oil Level

Operation

Filling the Fuel Tank

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.

•To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or mower directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.

•Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.

•Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

•Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.

Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline from a major name-brand service station (Figure 11).

Note: Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline less than 30 days old.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

1.Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and fully install the dipstick (Figure 12).

Figure 12

2.Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 12). If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick, slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30W detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)

3.Install the dipstick securely.
