Maintenance

Hydraulic System Safety

•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and
lines are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
•
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.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin. Injected fluid must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor.
Servicing the Hydraulic
System
Hydraulic Fluid Type: Toro
hydraulic oil or Mobil ®
Important:
Use the fluid specified. Other fluids
could cause system damage.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Every 40 hours—Check the
hydraulic fluid level.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Move the speed-control lever to the N
position to stop the machine.
3. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake,
shut off the engine, and wait for all moving parts
to stop.
4. Wait for the engine and the hydraulic system to
cool for 10 minutes.
Note:
To get the correct reading, check the
hydraulic fluid level when the machine is cool.
5. Raise the seat up.
6. Clean the area around the dipstick of the
hydraulic-system reservoir
7. Remove the dipstick from the hydraulic reservoir
(Figure 68).

(Figure 68).
8. Wipe the dipstick off and thread the dipstick into
the reservoir.
9. Remove the dipstick and look at the end
(Figure 68). If the fluid level is at the add mark,
slowly pour only enough fluid into the hydraulic
reservoir to raise the level to the full line.
Important:
Do not overfill the hydraulic
units with fluid, as damage may occur. Do
not run the machine with the fluid below the
add mark.
10. Install the dipstick.

WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
• If hydraulic fluid is injected into the
skin it must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this type of injury or gangrene
may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pin-hole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the
hydraulic system before performing
any work on the hydraulic system.
• Make sure that all hydraulic fluid
hoses and lines are in good condition
and all hydraulic connections and
fittings are tight before applying
pressure to hydraulic system.
