backward (handle down) halfway to the ground to drain
the used oil into the oil drain pan.
Important:
Do not tip the machine all the way
back to the ground, or fuel may leak out of the
machine.
4.
After draining the used oil, return the machine to the
operating position.
5.
Install the oil-drain plug and tighten it securely.
6.
Clean around the oil-fill cap (
).
7.
Unscrew the oil-fill cap and remove it.
8.
Slowly
pour oil into the oil-fill hole. Wait 3 minutes,
then check the oil level on the dipstick by wiping the
dipstick clean and then inserting,
but not screwing in,
the oil-fill cap into the hole.
Note:
To determine the proper oil level on the
dipstick, refer to
.
Figure 27
1.
The oil level is at its
maximum.
3.
The oil level is too
low—add oil to the
crankcase.
2.
The oil level is too
high—remove oil from
the crankcase.
Note:
You may tip the machine forward (handle up)
a little to make adding oil easier. Remember to return
the machine to the operating position before checking
the oil level.
Important:
Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of the
machine.
Max fill: 0.35 L (12 oz), type: automotive detergent oil
with an API service classification of SJ, SL, or higher.
Use
to select the best oil viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected:
Figure 28
Note:
Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the
dipstick indicates that the engine oil level is correct as
shown in
. If you overfill the engine with oil,
remove the excess oil from the drain plug into an oil
drain pan.
9.
Screw the oil-fill cap into the oil-fill hole, and hand
tighten it securely.
10.
Wipe up any spilled oil.
11.
Dispose of the used oil properly at a local recycling
center.
Servicing the Spark Plug
Service Interval:
Yearly—Service the spark plug and replace
it if necessary.
Use a Toro spark plug (Part No. 119-1961).
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (
).
3.
Clean around the spark plug.
4.
Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Important:
Replace a cracked, fouled, or dirty
spark plug. Do not clean the electrodes because
grit entering the cylinder can damage the engine.
5.
Set the gap on the plug to 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) (
