Before Operating
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the oil level must be checked before the engine is first
started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 8 qt. (7.6 L) with the
filter.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
API Classification Level Required: CH–4, CI–4 or
higher.
Preferred oil: SAE 15W–40 (above 0F)
Alternate oil: SAE 10W–30 or 5W–30
(all temperatures)
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor
in either 15W–40 or 10W–30 viscosity. See the parts
catalog for part numbers.
