Checking The Tire Pressure; Torquing The Wheel Nuts; Starting And Stopping The Engine - Toro 30807 Operator's Manual

Premium Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid-Mobil EAL
EnviroSyn 46H
Important: Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H is the only
synthetic biodegradable fluid approved by Toro. This
fluid is compatible with the elastomers used in Toro
hydraulic systems and is suitable for a wide-range
of temperature conditions. This fluid is compatible
with conventional mineral oils, but for maximum
biodegradability and performance the hydraulic system
should be thoroughly flushed of conventional fluid. The
oil is available in 19 liters (5 gallon) containers or 55
gallon drums from your Mobil Distributor.
Important: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless,
making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for
the hydraulic system oil is available in 20 ml (2/3 oz.)
bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 15-22 1iters (4-6 U.S.
gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from
your authorized Toro distributor.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, and stop the engine.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of the
hydraulic tank (Figure 30). Remove the cap.
1. Hydraulic tank cap
3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe it
with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck;
then remove it and check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the mark on the
dipstick.
4. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise the
level to the full mark.
5. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce the pressure. The correct air
pressure in the tires is 97 to 124 kPa (14 to 18 psi).
Figure 30
Note: Maintain the recommended pressure in all tires to
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine performance.
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which may
result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.

Torquing the Wheel Nuts

Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel nuts to 61 to 88 N-m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
You may need to bleed the fuel system if any of the following
situations have occurred (refer to Bleeding the Fuel System):
•
Initial start up of a new engine
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel system
components; i.e. filter replaced, etc.
Starting the Engine
1. Be sure that the parking brake is set and the cutting
unit drive switch is in the Disengage position.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure that the pedal is in the neutral position.
3. Move the throttle lever to the 1/2 throttle position.
4. Insert the key into the switch and rotate it to the
On/Preheat position until the glow plug indicator light
goes out (approximately 7 seconds); then rotate the
key to the Start position to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the On/Run position.
Important: To prevent overheating of the starter
motor, do not engage the starter longer than 15
seconds. After 10 seconds of continuous cranking,
wait 60 seconds before engaging the starter motor
again.
5. When the engine is started for the first time or after an
overhaul of the engine, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for one to two minutes. Also operate the
lift lever and cutting unit drive switch to be sure of
proper operation of all parts.
