Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant

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.
OILCHARTJ
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.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri­cant could cause serious front differential/rear drive damage.
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 gasolines 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 accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only recommended gasoline addi­tives should be used.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION OIL
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recom­mended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and cas­tor-based oils.
FILLING GAS TANK
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never add fuel to the gas tank near any open flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas tank must be filled to its specified capacity only. Expan­sion room must be maintained in the tank particularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A fire hazard could materializ e. Always allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-fill the gas tank.

8. Fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck with properly mixed cool­ant.
9. Disconnect the battery cables (negative cable first); then remove the battery, clean the battery posts and cables, and store in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: For storage, use a battery maintainer or
make sure the battery is fully charged (see Battery section in this manual).

Preparation After
Storage
Taking this vehicle out of storage and correctly preparing it will assure many miles and hours of trouble-free riding. Toro recommends the following procedure.
1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust system.
3. Check all control wires and cables for signs of wear or fraying. Replace if necessary.
4. Change the engine/transmission oil and filter.
5. Check the coolant level and add properly mixed coolant as necessary.
CAUTION
Prior to storing the vehicle, it must be properly serviced to prevent rusting and component deterioration.
1. Clean the seat cushions with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
2. Clean the vehicle thoroughly by washing dirt, oil, grass, and other foreign matter from the entire vehi­cle. Allow the vehicle to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part of the engine or air intake.
3. Either drain the gas tank or add a fuel stabilizer to the gas in the gas tank.
4. Clean the interior of the air filter housing.
