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 oil.
1. Turn the engine off and raise the hood.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic line ( Figure 59 ) or remove the
hydraulic filter ( Figure 58 ) and let the hydraulic fluid
flow into a drain pan. Install the hydraulic line when
hydraulic fluid stops draining.
