6. Remove the dipstick from the hydraulic reservoir
(
Figure 71 ).
7. Wipe the dipstick off and thread the dipstick into
the reservoir.
8. Remove the dipstick and look at the end
(
Figure 71 ). 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.
9. Install the dipstick.

Changing the Hydraulic
Fluid and Filter
Service Interval: After the first 100 hours—Change
the hydraulic filter and reservoir
hydraulic fluid when using any type
of fluid.
Every 250 hours—Change the hydraulic filter
and reservoir hydraulic fluid when using Mobil
®
1 fluid (more often in dirty or dusty conditions).
Every 500 hours—Change the hydraulic filter
and reservoir hydraulic fluid when using Toro
®
HYPR-OIL ™ 500 hydraulic fluid (more often in
dirty or dusty conditions).
Note:
Use a summer filter when the temperature is
0°C (32°F) and above. Use a winter filter when the
temperature is 0°C (32°F) and below.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, move the
speed-control lever to the N
EUTRAL
position,
disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), and
engage the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Carefully clean the area around the filter.
Important:
Ensure that no dirt or
contamination enter the hydraulic system.
4. Unscrew and remove the filter and allow the fluid
to drain from the reservoir.
Important:
Do not change the hydraulic
system fluid (except for what can be drained
when changing the filter), unless the fluid has
been contaminated or been extremely hot.
Changing the hydraulic fluid unnecessarily
could damage the hydraulic system by
introducing contaminates into the system.
5. Before installing the new filter, fill it with Toro ®
HYPR-OIL ™ 500 hydraulic fluid and apply a thin
coat of fluid on the surface of the rubber seal.
6. Turn the filter clockwise until the rubber seal
contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter
an additional 2/3 to 3/4 turn.
7. Fill the reservoir as stated in Checking the
Hydraulic Fluid (page 55) .
8. Raise the rear of the machine up and support it
with jack stands (or equivalent support) just high
enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.
9. Start the engine and move the throttle control to
the F
ULL
-
THROTTLE
position.
10. Move the speed-control levers to the full-speed
position and run the machine for several
minutes.
11. Shut off the machine and check the fluid level.
Checking and Cleaning the
Hydraulic Pumps
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Park the machine on a level surface, move the
speed-control lever to the N
EUTRAL
position,
disengage the PTO, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Raise the seat.
4. Clean the debris and grass from the hydraulic
pumps.
5. Lower the seat.
