The proper hydraulic fluids must be specified for mobile
machinery (as opposed to industrial plant usage), multi-weight
type, with ZnDTP or ZDDP anti-wear additive package (not
an ashless-type fluid).
Toro Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid (Available
in 19 L (5 US gallon) pails or 208 L (55 US gallon) drums. See
the
Parts Catalog 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.
Important:
This synthetic fluid is not compatible with
the Toro Biodegradable Fluid previously sold. See your
Toro Distributor for more information.
Alternative biodegradable fluids:
Mobil EAL Envirosyn H 46 (US)
Mobil EAL Hydraulic Fluid 46 (International)
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 (0.67 fl oz)
bottles. 1 bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US
gallons) of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from
your Toro Distributor.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
mower decks, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
2. Check the hydraulic-fluid level ( Figure 75 ).
Figure 75
Changing the Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Every 800 hours Change the hydraulic
fluid after every 800 operating hours, in
normal conditions. If the fluid becomes
contaminated, contact your local Toro
distributor because the system must be
flushed. Contaminated fluid looks milky
or black when compared to clean fluid.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
mower decks, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
2. Remove the drain plug from the bottom, front of the
reservoir and let the hydraulic fluid flow into a large
drain pan.
3. Install and tighten the plug when the hydraulic fluid
stops draining.
4. Fill the reservoir ( Figure 76 ) with hydraulic fluid; refer
to Checking the Hydraulic Fluid (page 58) .
