8.
Install the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe up any
spilled oil.
Important:
Ensure that the engine oil is at the
proper level. If the engine oil level is not correct,
the engine will crank but will not start.
Servicing the Hydraulic
System
The machine is shipped from the factory without
hydraulic fluid; you must fill it with 32.9 L (8.7 US
gallons) of high quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level
of hydraulic oil before the machine is first started and
daily thereafter. The recommended hydraulic fluids
are as follows:
Toro Premium Transmission/Hydraulic Tractor 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
petroleum-based Universal Tractor Hydraulic Fluids
(UTHF) may be used provided its specifications fall
within the listed range for all the following material
properties and it meets industry standards. We do
not recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult
with your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory
product.
Important:
The hydraulic system will not
completely fill with fluid until the system is
powered up. Check the hydraulic fluid level and
add fluid as necessary to ensure that it is at the
correct level after using the hydraulic system for
the first time.
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.
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445
Viscosity Index ASTM
D2270
Pour Point, ASTM D97
Industry Specifications:
API GL-4, AGCO Powerfluid 821 XL, Ford New Holland
FNHA-2-C-201.00, Kubota UDT, John Deere J20C,
Vickers 35VQ25, and Volvo WB-101/BM
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 15 to 22 L (4 to
6 US gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order part number
44-2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor.

Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain the fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel Tank Capacity: 6.1 L (1.6 US gallons)
Recommended Fuel:
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher (R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use.
Never use gasoline that contains more than 10%
ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85
(contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved
gasoline may cause performance problems and/or
engine damage which may not be covered under
warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer
is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
