Adding Fuel - Toro 22602 Manuel D'installation

Adding Fuel

Use unleaded gasoline (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded, regular gasoline may be used if
unleaded is not available.
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 below the bottom of the strainer
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.
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 with its wheels on the ground.
• 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.
Important: Do not 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.
