Servicing the Hydraulic
System
Hydraulic Oil Type:
Toro
®
HYPR-OIL
™
500 hydraulic oil
or Mobil
®
1 15W-50.
Important:
Use oil specified. Other fluids could cause
system damage.
Each Hydraulic System Oil Capacity:
52 ounces (1.5 l) per
side with filter change
Checking the Hydraulic Oil
Service Interval:
Every 50 hours—Check the hydraulic oil
level.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
3.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
4.
Allow the engine and hydraulic system to cool for 10
minutes.
Note:
The oil level on the dipstick will be incorrect if
the oil is checked when the machine is hot.
5.
Move the seat forward.
6.
Clean the area around the dipsticks of the hydraulic
system reservoirs (Figure 81).
7.
Remove one dipstick from the hydraulic reservoir
(Figure 81).
8.
Wipe the dipstick off and thread the dipstick into the
reservoir.
9.
Remove the dipstick and look at the end (Figure 81).
Note:
If the oil level is at the add mark, slowly pour
only enough oil into the hydraulic reservoir to raise the
level to the full or
H
line.
Important:
Do not overfill the hydraulic units
with oil as damage may occur. Do not run the
machine with the oil below the add mark.
10.
Install the dipstick.
11.
Repeat procedure for the opposite dipstick.

WARNING
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
•
If hydraulic oil is injected into the skin it
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type
of injury. Gangrene may result if this is
not done.
•
Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic oil.
•
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 oil hoses and
lines are in good condition and that all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
