Maintenance
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury; otherwise gangrene may
result.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks; never use your hands.
Servicing the Hydraulic
Drive System
Expansion-tank capacity: 1.4 L (1.5 US quarts)
Hydraulic-fluid type: Toro® HYPR-OIL™ 500
Important:
Always use the correct hydraulic
fluid. Unspecified fluids will damage the hydraulic
system.
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 0.67 fl oz (20
ml) bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4 to 6 gal (15 to
22 L) of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from
your authorized Toro distributor.
Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid

the engine to cool.
3. Open the cowl.
