1. Fuel tank cap
4. Fill the tank until the level is to the bottom of the
filler neck with diesel fuel.
5. Install fuel tank cap tightly after filling tank.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use.
This will minimize possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 8 U.S. gallons (30.2 l) 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.
High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear
Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445

St @ 40° C 44 to 48
St @ 100° C 7.9 to 8.5
High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear
Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46 (cont'd.)
Viscosity Index ASTM D2270
Pour Point, ASTM D97
Industry Specifications:
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 gallons (15-22
1) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from your
authorized Toro distributor.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid - Mobil EAL 224H
Toro Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid
(Available in 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See parts
catalog or Toro distributor for part numbers.)
* Use only when temperatures are above 30° F.
This is vegetable-oil based biodegradable oil tested and
approved by Toro for this model. This fluid is not as
resistant to high temperatures as standard fluid, so
follow the recommended fluid change intervals with
this fluid. Contamination by mineral-based hydraulic
fluids will change the biodegradability and toxicity of
this oil. When changing from standard fluid to the
biodegradable type, be certain to follow the approved
flushing procedure. Contact your local Toro Distributor
for details.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2. Unlatch the seat, raise it, and engage the prop rod.
3. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of the
hydraulic tank (Figure 9). Remove the cap from the
filler neck.
