Toro GROUNDSMASTER 325-D User Manual

CHECK THE CRANKCASE OIL
The engine is shipped with 3.7 quarts (3.5 L) of oil in the
crankcase; however, the level of the oil must be checked before
and after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the hood latch and open the hood.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth (Fig. 1).
Push the dipstick down into the tube and ensure it is fully
seated. Pull the dipstick out of the tube and check the
level of the oil. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap
(Fig. 2) and add enough oil to raise the level to the top
notch on the dipstick (Fig. 1). DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. The engine uses any high-quality detergent having the
American Petroleum institute—API—“service classifica-
tion” SF/CC or CD. Oil viscosity recommendations are:
SAE 10W-30.
IMPORTANT: Check the oil level after every 5 hours
of operation or daily. Change the oil after every 50
hours of operation and change the oil filter after the
first 50 hours and every 100 hours thereafter. Change
the oil and filter more frequently when the engine is
operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the dipstick into tube.
FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH DIESEL
FUEL
The engine runs on No. 1-D or 2-D automotive type diesel fuel
with a minimum octane rating of 40.
Note: Higher octane rated fuel may be required if you use the
machine at high altitudes and low atmospheric temperatures.
Use No. 2-D diesel fuel at temperatures above 20° F (–7° C)
and No. 1-D diesel fuel below 20° F (–7° C). Number. 1-D
diesel fuel at lower temperatures provides a lower flash point
and pour point characteristics, therefore easing startability and
lessening chances of chemical separation of the fuel because of
