DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released, causing a spark that can
ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel 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 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 fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel-tank cap.
3. Remove cap from the fuel tank

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 29.3 L (7.75 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
18.9 L (5 gallon) pails or 208 L (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
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 20 ml (2/3 oz) bottles. 1 bottle is
sufficient for 15-22 L (4-6 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, 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
