Gasoline Model:

THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDS THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN, UNLEAD-
ED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN TORO
GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS.  UNLEADED
GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS
ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD START-
ING BY REDUCING THE BUILD-UP OF COM-
BUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS.  LEADED
GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF UNLEADED IS
NOT AVAILABLE.

FILL.  Then install the cap.

Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled to pre-
vent a fire hazard.

Fuel tank cap

Because gasoline is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling it.  

•

Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running, hot or when the 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 possibility of an explosion.  

•

Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up
any spilled gasoline, and fill the tank no higher
than to the bottom of the filter screen.  DO
NOT OVERFILL.  

•

Store gasoline in a clean safety approved con-
tainer and keep the cap 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 combustion
engines; do not use it for any other purpose.  

•

Since children like the smell of gasoline, keep
it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.

DANGER

Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling lt. 

•

Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank.  

•

Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine
is running, hot, or when the machine is in
an enclosed area. 

•

Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe
up any spilled diesel fuel before starting
the engine.  

•

Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved con-
tainer and keep the cap in place. Use
diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any
other purpose.
