According to the manual, oil capacity is 20 oz though. SAE 30 motor oil is commonly recommended for use in a lawn mower engine, but the safest best is to use the type of oil your lawn mower manufacturer recommends.
Often 10W or 10W, the same motor oil types that are used in vehicles, can also be used in a lawn mower. Lubrication on Two-Stroke Lawn Mower Engines Lubrication for two-stroke engines also called two- cycle is achieved by mixing the recommended oil into the fuel. Thus, with two-stroke engines, there is no oil to check with a dipstick, because the fuel and the oil are mixed together.
SAE 10W — This is a lighter variant that improves cold weather starting but may result in higher oil consumption. Consider using an oil funnel to help prevent spills.
Locate the oil fill plug of your lawn tractor or push mower. Pour the recommended amount of oil directly into the hole where the oil fill plug goes. Never overfill. Once all of your new oil is inside the lawnmower engine, replace the oil fill plug or dip stick. Motor oil detergents were introduced in the s. The concept adjusts for the failings of oil filters by attaching to those particles too small to get caught in filters. Instead the detergent holds the particles in the oil so they don't deposit on engine parts and cause hot spots.
Wipe the area around the fill tube cap with a clean rag. Turn the fill tube cap counterclockwise and remove it from the fill tube. Insert the dipstick back into the fill tube, and turn the cap clockwise.
Add oil if necessary, and recheck the level. Toro Oil Filters. Small Engine Oil Filters for a variety of manufactures to fit many outdoor power equipment models. We also supply Lawn Mower Oil Filter shop packs. Slowly pour 20 ounces of SAE 30 motor oil into the fill tube. Limited Warranty for Commercial Use These Toro Products used for commercial, institutional, or rental use, are warranted for 45 days against defects in materials or workmanship.
You will need the model and serial number for your machine. Here is a list of basic maintenance procedures: refer to your owner's manual for more specific information on your model Check the blade and engine mounting fasteners making sure they are all tight. Start engine to allow engine oil to warm up. Run engine to distribute stabilized fuel through the system. Stop engine, allow to cool properly, drain fuel tank or run dry. Restart engine and run till it stops.
Attempt to restart engine and run till it stops, repeat till engine does not restart. Dispose of gasoline properly. Recycle per local codes. Shops that work on small engines or automobiles will typically take old fuel for a small fee Do not store stabilized gasoline over 90 days.
Engine: 4-Cycle Remove spark plug and put about one tablespoon of oil through the spark plug hole Slowly pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil. This position closes both the intake and exhaust ports to prevent outside entry, which can result in corrosion of the cylinder bore. With normal residential use of a mower, we recommend replacing or sharpening the blade yearly. However, blades should be checked after each tank of gas is used for nicks, damage, or dull edges.
Blades are sharp! Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. Note: New blades are pre-sharpened. To obtain the best quality of cut: Make sure the blade is sharp for best results, replace or sharpen yearly or when needed. Operate the machine at full throttle. Mow only dry grass or leaves. If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following: Walk at slower pace while mowing.
Raise the cutting height on your mower. Cut the grass more frequently Overlap the cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass. Set the cutting height on the front wheels one notch lower than the rear wheels. Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight - this helps disperse clippings, which enhances decomposition and fertilization.
Clean the clippings and dirt from the underside of the mower after each use. Grass build up inside the mower will affect cutting quality. The rear of the grass bag is two layers thick to stop any foreign objects that the mower might pick up. However, some dirt and sand will go through the first layer.
This is why we have intentionally left one side of the inner layer unsewn - leaving one side of this layer open allows the dirt to fall out when the bag is emptied. If the bag is improperly mounted the hooks will not properly engage the mower. This bag should NOT rest on the handle cross bar.
If it does the bottom of the bag will not fill up to the chassis and grass will fall out. When the bag is properly mounted it sets below the handle cross bar and will fit up to the mower housing correctly Bag frame may be bent. See your local Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
With only a few exceptions, an optional bagger attachment is available for your mower. For availability and pricing information, please contact your local Authorized Service Dealer. Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season. Only mow dry grass or leaves. Wet grass or leaves tend to clump on the yard and may cause the mower to plug up or the motor to stall. Clean the clippings or leaves from the underside of the mower deck after each mowing. Use a wooden tool, not a metal one.
When changing the cutting height from an established setting to a higher cutting height, the grass may appear ragged or uneven until the grass adjusts to the new established cutting height and regains its normal appearance. Alternate the mowing direction. This helps to disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization. If the finished cut lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following: Sharpen the blade.
Walk at a slower pace while mowing. Cut the grass more frequently. Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass. Set the cutting height on the front wheels one notch lower than that of the rear wheels. The following are some things that will affect the battery run time: Moisture content of the grass — The more moisture there is in the grass, the faster the battery will run down.
Mode of operation — Mulching the grass requires the most battery energy. Bagging requires the second highest amount of battery energy and side discharging uses the least. Cutting height - If the battery is running down too fast, raise the cutting height one notch. Cleaning after Each Use Clean the underside of the mower housing. Be particularly careful to keep the front cavity clear of all grass clippings and debris. Remove dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood scraper.
Avoid burrs and sharp edges. Brush all grass clippings and debris off the top of the mower housing after every use. Cleaning after Each Season Remove the top shroud and clean out any grass clippings and debris from underneath it and around the battery with compressed air, a vacuum cleaner, or a brush.
Check for any discoloration or charred wires and battery and switch contacts. If any are damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer for repair. Remove the key from the receptacle. Wait 30 seconds, and then push in the circuit breaker button. Install the key in the plug receptacle. Resume cutting under a lighter load. The battery charger is only needed to recharge the battery. It is not used for mowing with the mower.

Backfire is not occurring in the engine cylinder but in the muffler. Muffler retains heat which can ignite fuel vapors once the engine is shut off.
The following tips may help in eliminating grass "Blow out": If you are currently using high lift blades, try switching to low or medium blades. Check to make sure the baffle is adjusted properly in the " A " position. Reduce your ground speed. Check deck pitch from front to back. The most common reasons for the grass not bagging properly are: The bagger screen may be dirty. Make sure it is clean and free of any debris. Ground speed may be too fast. Conditions may be too wet. For best result wait until the grass is dry before bagging.
Verify that the bagger is securely in place. Verify bagger belt tension is adjusted properly. If you need further assistance, please contact your local Toro Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. Cleaner cut on the grass More power , less likely to bog down Less stress on the engine Engine runs cooler Slow engine speeds can result in hot spots on the cylinder In addition, many of these machines have hydrostatic transmissions that generate heat during operation.
They have a fan that keeps them cool and the fan is driven directly by the engine. Running the engine less than full speed will frequently allow the transmission to overheat. The first sign is usually a lack of power on hills.
Permanent transmission damage can result. By keeping the engine at full speed the operator will keep the fan at full speed. This will maximize the air flow for the transmission keeping it cooler and preventing premature failure. Riding products should be at full throttle at all times. To request or download a replacement Owner's Manua l or Parts Manual , you will need the model and serial number of your machine.

Below is a quick checklist of things to do for your Toro snowthrower so it will continue to work well for years to come! Note: See your Operator's Manual for complete details on how to perform any of the following maintenance items. Cylinder Care It is important to maintain your 2-cycle or 4-cycle engines by taking care of your cylinder.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces. Replace Damaged or Worn Parts. Single Stage Inspect paddles and scrapers for wear. Look for the wear mark on the paddle s 2-Stage Inspect belts and replace if frayed or cracked. All Snowthrowers: Tighten screws, bolts and nuts as needed. Repair or replace damaged parts. Clean it thoroughly. Storage Allow engine to cool for an hour, out of the reach of children.
Remove old fuel. Run engine for five minutes to distribute new conditioned fuel through fuel system. Stop engine, allow it to cool, and drain fuel tank or run engine until it stops. Restart the engine again and allow it to run until it stops.
Either choke or prime the engine, restart it a third time and allow it to run until it stops. Continue to attempt to restart the engine until it will no longer start. Paint any bare surfaces. This will prevent rust and keep the surface smooth.
If machine was stored in area warmer than the outdoor temperature, allow the snowthrower to cool down for 20 to 30 minutes outdoors. Verify that the snowthrower is being run at full throttle. If snow is extremely wet and heavy, take less than a full pass at a time.
Now is a great time to take your machine to a local dealer for any needed maintenance or repairs. Once snow falls their shop will be extremely busy and they will most likely have long delays.

If you're planning to do your own maintenance, or just want to see what we recommend, please follow these tips which will help ensure you snowthrower is ready for winter.
Please see your operator's manual for further details on performing any of the maintenance mentioned. Old fuel can leave harmful deposits in you product's fuel system.
Today's gasoline does not have the same chemical make up as years ago. This is because the most volatile components of the fuel are the first to deteriorate and the ones that help an engine start easily. Gasoline is re-blended to suit the season, and although the difference isn't as great as it once was, winter grade fuel will make cold weather starts easier. Starting will be easier if the spark plug is in good condition.
A new spark plug will be able to better ignite the fuel air mixture within the engine. You should also make sure the spark plug wire securely attaches to the spark plug. If you have a 4-cycle model fuel and oil are separate and didn't change the oil last spring, now is the time. Even if you only run the machine a few hours a year, the oil should be changed. Oil in a small engine does not break down very fast; however, it does become contaminated. Moisture from the air and small amounts of combustion byproducts exhaust will build up in the oil within a very short time.
This contamination will result in increased wear and can even eat away at internal parts over time. Following the recommended schedule for your machine can help prevent expensive repairs. Review the starting procedures outlined in the operator's manual including the proper operation of the safety features on your machine.
Make sure the snowthrower is running at Full Throttle. Verify that all the belts are adjusted properly. In extremely heavy and wet snow conditions, take a smaller pass or wait until the temperature and snow conditions change. What if my machine won't start? Single Stage Snowthrowers: Fresh gas less then 30 days old. Key is in the "On" position. The choke lever is in the "closed" position. Refer to Owner's Manual Primer was pressed firmly.
Make sure you do not over prime. Pull recoil or push electric start button. Once engine is running slowly move the choke lever to "off". For restart issue the choke and primer steps may not be necessary. Single Stage Power Curve CCR Models If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on the handle, but allow the snowthrower to work at its own pace. If you still are having difficulty, inspect the rotor blades for wear. If the rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear indicator hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer replace the blades and the scraper.
Verify that the choke is in the "On" position and that the primer has been pressed. Fuel valve shut-off valve is open. Throttle is in the "Fast" position. Fuel in the tank is no more than 30 days old. Spark plug wire is connected and is in good condition. Fuel cap is not covered with debris and is for allowing proper ventilation. Engine oil level is at the "full" mark on the dipstick. Remove the carburetor heater box if the air temperature is above 40F 4 C and the carburetor heater box is on the snowthrower.
Two Stage, 4-cycle snowthrowers do not have the option to add electric start or hand warmers. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. Remove the 3 flange-head bolts that secure the belt cover to the engine frame and slide the belt cover up the cables.
Hold the lever and insert a 0. If the space between the coils is not 0. Rotate the bottom nut upward to increase the belt tension. Tighten the upper jam nut against the bracket. Repeat steps 4 through 6. Install the belt and the cable covers.
If belt still slips, replace it. Click here for Replacing Drive Belts. Connect the wire to the spark plug. Loosen the upper jam nut that secures the traction cable to the mounting bracket. Rotate the bottom jam nut upward to increase the belt tension. Note: When adjusting the cable, always rotate the jam nut one full turn at a time. Check the tension of the belt by operating the snowthrower. Note: The snowthrower should begin to move forward when you press the traction control lever about halfway down toward the handgrip.
Stop the engine and repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have achieved the proper adjustment. Important: Do not adjust the belt too tightly; a tight belt can cause the snowthrower to creep even after you release the traction control lever. If this occurs, decrease the belt tension. Run the engine for ten minutes to distribute conditioned fuel through the system. Stop the engine, allow it to cool, and drain fuel tank or run the engine until it stops.
Start the engine and run it until it stops. Choke or prime the engine, start it a third time, and run the engine until it won't start.
Dispose of unused fuel properly. Recycle it according to local codes, or use it in your automobile. Note: Do not store stabilized gasoline for more than 90 days. Preparing the Engine: While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. Remove the spark plug. Use an oil can to squirt two teaspoons of oil into the spark plug hole. Thus, with two -stroke engines, there is no oil to check with a dipstick, because the fuel and the oil are mixed together.
