Checking The Gear Case Fluid Level - Toro 09802 HydroJect 3010 Operator's Manual

Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in.
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Checking the Gear Case Fluid
Level
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 4–5 quarts of high quality hydraulic fluid.
Check the level of the hydraulic fluid, on the sight
gauge, before the engine is first started and daily
thereafter. The recommended replacement fluid is:
Mobil DTE 26
Alternate fluids: If this 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 68
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. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Release the hood latches and raise the hood.
3. Check the level of hydraulic oil on the sight gauge
(Fig. 5). The fluid level should be up to the middle of
the gauge window.

1. Sight gauge
4. If the fluid level is low, remove the filler cap and add
enough hydraulic oil to bring the oil up to the proper
level.
5. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Important
The oil and filter must be changed
immediately when any contamination, sludge, water or
condensation appears in oil or on sight gauge. Determine
and correct oil contamination problem before restarting
engine and operating machine.
