CHECK HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT OIL
The hydraulic system is designed to operate on Mobil
DTE 26 or equivalent anti-wear hydraulic fluid. The
machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with 24.6 l
(6.5 gal) of fluid. However, check the level of
hydraulic fluid before the engine is first started and
daily thereafter.
Hydraulic Oil (Recommended brands):
Mobil
DTE 26
Shell Tellus
68
Amoco
Rykon Oil 68
Conoco
Super Hydraulic Oil 68
Exxon
Nuto 68
Kendall
Kenoil R&O AW 68
Pennzoil
Penreco 68
Phillips
Magnus A 68
Standard
Energol HLP 68
Sun
Sunvis 831 WR
Union
Unax AW 68
Chevron
AW Hydraulic Oil 68
Note: All are interchangeable.
IMPORTANT: Use only the hydraulic oils specified.
Other fluids could cause system damage.
Note: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system oil
is available in 2/3 oz. bottles. One bottle is sufficient
for 15–22.7 l (4–6 gal) of hydraulic oil. Order Part
No. 44-2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor
1.
Park the machine on a level surface. Make sure
the machine has been operated so the oil is warm.
Release the hood latch and open the hood. Check
the level of oil by viewing the sight gauge. If the
oil is visible in gauge, the oil level is sufficient.
2.
If the oil level is not visible in gauge, remove the
cap from hydraulic oil reservoir and slowly fill
the reservoir with Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent
hydraulic oil until the level reaches middle (maxi-
mum) of the sight gauge. DO NOT OVERFILL.
➀
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use caution
when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while
filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running, hot, or when the machine is
in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank out-
doors and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety-
approved container and keep the cap in place. Use
diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any other
purpose.
