Servicing The Engine Oil - Toro 22305 Operator's Manual

Installing the Filters
1. If installing new filters, check each filter for shipping
damage. Do not use a damaged filter.
2. If the safety filter is being replaced, carefully slide it
into the filter body (Fig. 20).
3. Carefully slide the primary filter over the safety filter
(Fig. 20). Ensure that it is fully seated by pushing on
the outer rim of the filter while installing it.
Important Do not press on the soft inside area of the
filter.
4. Install the air cleaner cover with the side indicated as
UP facing up and secure the latches (Fig. 20).

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, chock the wheels, and stop the
engine. Remove the key.

Caution
Components will be hot if the traction unit has
been running. If you touch hot components you
may be burned.
Allow the traction unit to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components under the
hood.
4. Place one end of a hose on the drain valve and the
other end in a pan.
5. Open the drain valve by turning it counterclockwise,
pulling out as you turn it (Fig. 21).
6. When the oil has drained completely, close the drain
valve and remove the hose.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified recycling
center.
