Checking the Hydraulic Fluid

The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 18.2 U.S. gallons of high quality hydraulic
fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid before the
engine is first started and daily thereafter. The
recommended replacement fluid is:
Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid
(Available in 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See
parts catalog or Toro distributor for part numbers.)
Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other
fluids may be used provided they meet all the following
material properties and industry specifications. We do not
recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult with your
lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory product Note:
Toro will not assume responsibility for damage caused by
improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable
manufacturers who will stand behind their
recommendation.
Antiwear Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445
Viscosity Index ASTM D2270 97 to 107
Pour Point, ASTM D97
Industry Specifications:
Vickers I–286–S (Quality Level), Vickers M–2950–S
(Quality Level), Denison HF–0
Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it
difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic
system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml) bottles. One bottle
is sufficient for 4–6 gal (15–22 1) of hydraulic oil. Order
part no. 44–2500 from your authorized Toro distributor.

1. Make sure the machine is parked machine on a level
surface, lower the cutting units and stop the engine.
2. Look into sight glass (Fig. 7). Oil level should be even
with arrows when checking warm oil. Oil will be 1/4 to
1/2 inch below arrows when cold.
3. If oil level is low, add hydraulic oil to the reservoir.

Check Reel To Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife contact,
regardless if quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
There must be light contact across the full length of the reel
and bedknife (refer to Adjusting Cutting Units in Cutting
Unit Manual, Step #1 – Reel to Bedknife Adjustment).

Check Tire Pressure

For normal mowing conditions and a wide variety of turf
grasses, use these tire pressures: 13 psi front and 15 psi
rear. However, when turf is either wetter or drier than
normal, tire pressure may need to be changed. On hard
turf, use high tire pressure (18 psi front and rear). When
turf is soft, use low pressure (9 psi front and 12 psi rear).
Important Maintain even pressure in two front tires (ie.
13 psi) and both rear tires (ie 15 psi) to assure excellent
quality–of–cut.

Rear Ballast

This unit complies with the ANSI B71.4–2004 Standard
when rear tires are filled with calcium chloride and a rear
wheel weight kit (Part No. 11–0440) is installed.
Important If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium
chloride, remove unit from turf area as quickly as possible.
To prevent possible damage to turf, immediately soak
affected area with water.
