Operation; Before You Start; Adding Fuel - Toro 22601 Manuel De L'opérateur

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Important: Before operating, check the fuel and
oil level, and remove debris from the machine.
Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and
debris. You should also know and have marked the
locations of all utility lines.

Before you Start

• Dig away the earth and remove any stones near
the tree stump that may interfere with your work.
Check that the ground is free of foreign objects,
such as electrical cables, barbed wire, etc.
• Cut or trim the stump using a power saw.
• Review all the machine's safety decals.
• Use a hard-hat, hearing, and eye protection. A
mesh visor alone does not provide sufficient eye
protection; supplement with protective glasses.
• Ensure that you are familiar with safety regulations
and shutdown procedures described in the
Operator's Manual.
• Ensure that all guards are in place and in good
condition.
• Ensure that the blades and cutters are in place and
in good condition.
• Ensure that the work area, cutter, and stump in
particular are free from metallic objects such as
wire, nails, etc. that could be thrown out and injure
persons in the vicinity and damage the equipment.
• Ensure that everyone, including children and
animals, maintain a distance of at least 50 feet (15
m) from the machine. Debris can be thrown out
and injure people and animals.

Adding Fuel

Use unleaded gasoline (87 pump octane minimum).
Leaded, regular gasoline may be used if unleaded is not
available.
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.
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 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
