Checking The Level Of The Hydraulic Fluid - Toro GreensPro 1260 Operator's Manual

1. Upper limit
6. Install the oil-filler cap/dipstick and wipe up any spilled
oil.
Note: Running the engine with the oil level at the lower
limit may induce nuisance engine shutdowns in operating
situations where the machine is switching direction on an
incline or descent.
Checking the Level of the
Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The hydraulic system is filled at the factory with high-quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid
before the engine is first started and daily thereafter.
Note: Before working on any part of the hydraulic drive
system, shut off the engine to depressurize the system.
Before starting the engine after hydraulic system maintenance,
and pressurizing the hydraulic lines, check all hoses and
connectors for damage and to ensure that they are tight.
Replace any damaged hoses and tighten any loose couplings
as required.
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid: Toro Premium All
Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5 US gallon pails or 55
US gallon drums. Refer to the parts catalog or contact your
Authorized Toro Distributor for part numbers.)
Alternative fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other
conventional, petroleum-based fluids may be used,
provided they meet all of the following material properties
and industry specifications. Check with your oil supplier to
see whether the oil meets these specifications.
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.

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).
Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it
difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic
system fluid is available in 20 ml (2/3 fl oz) bottles. One bottle
is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of hydraulic
fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from your Authorized Toro
Distributor.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Pull back on the seat latch, and tip the seat forward
(Figure 20).
