SECTION 8: MAINTAINING YOUR LAWN TRACTOR

NOTE: Refer to Maintenance Chart on page 31 for a

reference of recommended maintenance intervals.

WARNING: Before performing any

maintenance or repairs, disengage PTO, set

parking brake, stop engine and remove key to

prevent unintended starting.

Engine

Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission

control devices and systems, which are being done at

the customer’s expense, may be performed by any

engine repair establishment or individual. Warranty

repairs must be performed by an authorized Toro

service dealer.

Engine Oil

The engine-crankcase is filled with 10W-30 oil at the

factory.

The engine oil must be drained and replaced with new

oil after the initial 50 hours of engine operation and

every 50 hours thereafter. Refer to the Oil Viscosity

Chart below to determine the proper oil type.

NOTE: To aid starting, the selection of crankcase oil

should be based on the lowest anticipated

temperatures prior to the next scheduled oil change.

Checking the Oil Level

It is important to check the oil level at least every four

hours of operation. Regular checking during the first 24

hours of operation is especially important. Check the oil

level before each use as follows:

1. Allow the engine a few minutes to rest after

operation. This will give the oil time to drain into the

crankcase sump and result in a more accurate

dipstick reading.

2. Clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick to

prevent debris from entering the crankcase. Refer

to Figure 16.

3. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick by lifting it out of the

oil fill tube.

4. Wipe the dipstick clean before pushing it all the way

back into the oil fill tube. Withdraw the dipstick to

check the oil level. Refer to figure at right.

5. Always keep the oil level at or near the F mark on

the dipstick. If the oil is low, add oil of the proper

type up to the F mark. Always re-check the oil level

with the dipstick before adding more oil.

IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the oil level

below the L mark or above the F mark on the dipstick.

6. After checking the oil level (and adding oil, if

necessary), reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick by

inserting it into the oil fill tube

Temperature Change Expected Before Next Oil Change

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable,

up to 4°C (40°F).

“Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold below

23°C(-10°F).

Operating Range

Adding Oil

If, after checking the oil level,

you find the dipstick reads L,

proceed as follows.

• Place the tractor on a

level surface and engage

the parking brake. Stop

the tractor engine and

remove the ignition key.

• Clean the area around

the oil fill cap and fill tube

to prevent debris from

entering the crankcase.

• Remove the oil fill cap/

dipstick from the oil fill

tube and SLOWLY pour oil into the oil fill tube. Do

NOT pour more than 6 oz. of oil at a time without

first stopping and re-checking the oil level.

• Fill the crankcase until the oil level reaches the full

(F) mark on the dipstick. See Figure above. Refer to

the oil viscosity chart earlier in this section for

information regarding the proper type of oil to add

to the crankcase.

IMPORTANT: The engine (with oil filter) has a capacity of

50.75 oz. (1.5 liters). Never overfill the engine

crankcase.

IMPORTANT: The engine may overheat and/or damage

may result if the oil level is below the ADD or over the

FULL on the dipstick.

• Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely onto the oil

fill tube.

IMPORTANT: The oil fill cap/dipstick must be installed

securely onto the tube at all times when the engine

is operating. Severe engine damage could result from

failure to do so.
