Screws (4) BD we BEFORE OPERATING FILL CRANKCASE WITH OIL Crankcase capacity is 56 oz. with new filter, 48 oz. if fil- ter is not changed. The engine does not have oil in the crankcase when itis shipped from the factory. If engine is started be- fore oil is added to the crankcase, engine damage could result. Therefore, before engine is started for the first time: 1. Position mower on level surface. 2. Clean area around the oil dipstick to prevent for- eign matter from entering the filler hole when dipstick is removed. 3. Unscrew the dipstick (Fig. 11). 2403 Figure 11 1. Dipstick 2. Filler neck 4. Slowly pour approximately 4 pints of oil into the fill- er neck (Fig. 11). The engine uses any high quality de- tergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute — АР| — “service classification” SE, SF, or SG. The rec- ommended oil to use is SAE 30 above 40°F and 10W30 or 5W40 below 40°F. 5. Wipe end of dipstick with clean rag and screw it onto the filler neck. Then unscrew the dipstick and check level of oil by reading the dipstick (Fig. 10). If lev- el of oil is low, add only enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on dipstick. DO NOT ADD OIL SO LEVEL RISES ABOVE FULL MARK BECAUSE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED WHEN IT IS STARTED. 6. Screw dipstick onto filler neck tightly. Note: Check level of oil after every 5 operating hours or each time the mower is used. Initially, change oll after the first 5 hours of operation; thereafter, when condi- tions are normal, change oil after every 50 hours of op- eration. However, change oil more frequently when mower is operated in dusty or dirty conditions. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE Tires are over inflated at the factory. Check tires and in- sure they are inflated to 15 psi. FILL FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF FRESH CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE. UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANLY, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING. NOTE: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE CON- TAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, GASOLINE ADDI- TIVES, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE GAS BE- CAUSE THE FUEL SYSTEM COULD BE DAMAGED. 1. Clean area around fuel tank cap and remove cap from tank. 2. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch from top of the tank, not filler neck. Install fuel tank cap securely. 3. Wipe up spilled gasoline. A DANGER Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when storing or handling it. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running, hot or when machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possi- bility of an explosion. Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline before starting engine and fill tank to about one inch from top of tank, not filler neck. Store gasoline in a clean safety— ap- proved container and keep the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well —ventilated place; never in an enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for internal combus- tion engines; therefore, do not use it for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are explosive and dangerous to inhale.

Tight- en oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket con- tacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an ad- ditional 1/4 turn. Fill the crankcase with fresh oil; re- fer to Fill Crankcase with Oil, page 8. REPLACING FUEL FILTER An in-line filter is in the fuel line between the fuel tank and carburetor (Fig. 6). Replace fuel filter once a year. 1. Place a drain pan under fuel filter. 2. Close fuel shut-off valve. Slide the hose clamps off the filter and separate the fuel lines from the filter (Fig. 6). CAUTION Since gasoline is highly flammable, drain it outdoors and make sure engine is cool to prevent a potential fire hazard. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled. Do not drain gasoline near any open flame or where gas- oline fumes may be ignited by a spark. Do not smoke a cigar, cigarette, or a pipe when handling gasoline. 3. Install the new filter with arrow on the filter body pointing toward the carburetor. REPLACING SPARK PLUGS This engine has two spark plugs. Since air gap between center and side electrodes of the spark plug increases gradually during normal oper- ation of the engine, check condition of electrodes after every 50 operating hours. Recommended air gap is 0.040 of an inch (1.02 mm). Correct spark plug is a Champion RC 12YC. Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; howev- er, the plug should be removed and checked whenever the engine malfunctions. 1. Clean area around spark plug so foreign matter cannot fall into cylinder when spark plug is removed. 2. Pull spark plug wire off spark plug and remove plug from cylinder head. 3. Check condition of side electrode, center elec- trode, and center electrode insulator to assure there is no damage. IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled, dirty or otherwise malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine. 4. Set air gap between center and side of electrodes at 0.040 of an inch (1.02 mm) (Fig. 17). Install correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten plug to 30 ft—Ib (40 Nm). If torque wrench is not used, tighten plug firmly. MAINTENANCE x = bow (1.02 mm) Figure 17 ADJUSTING CHOKE CONTROL The choke may need to be adjusted if the engine does not start, especially a cold engine.
