Checking The Level Of The Hydraulic Fluid - Toro Sand Pro 3040 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
1. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap
2. Remove the fuel-tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about 25 mm (1 inch) below the top of
the tank (bottom of the filler neck). Do not overfill.

4. Install the cap.
5. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a
fire hazard.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be
damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Checking the Level of the
Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 18.9
L (5 US gallons) of high-quality hydraulic fluid. The best
time to check the hydraulic oil is when the fluid is cold. The
machine should be in its transport configuration. If the oil
level is below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring
the oil level to the middle of the acceptable range. Do not
overfill the reservoir. If the oil level is between the Full and
the Add marks, no oil addition is required. Check the level
of the hydraulic fluid before you first start the engine
and daily thereafter.
The recommended replacement fluid is as follows:
Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (available in
19 L (5 gallon) containers or 208 L (55 gallon) drums—see
the parts documentation or your Toro distributor for part
numbers)
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid: Toro Premium All
Season Hydraulic Fluid
Alternative fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other
conventional, petroleum-based fluids may be used, provided
that they meet all of the following material properties and
(Figure 15).
industry specifications. Check with your oil supplier to see
whether the oil meets these specifications.

Industry Specifications:
The proper hydraulic fluids must be specified for
mobile machinery (as opposed to industrial plant usage),
multiweight-type, with ZnDTP or ZDDP anti-wear additive
package (not an ashless-type fluid).
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 fl oz)
bottles. 1 bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US
gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order part 44-2500 from your
Authorized Toro Distributor.
Synthetic, Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid
(available in 19 L (5 gallon) containers or 208 L (55 gallon)
drums—see the parts documentation or your Toro distributor
for part numbers)
This high-quality, synthetic, biodegradable fluid has been
tested and found compatible for this Toro model. Other
brands of synthetic fluid may have seal compatibility problems
and Toro cannot assume responsibility for unauthorized
substitutions.
