Note: The fluids within this group are interchangeable.
IMPORTANT: Two groups of hydraulic fluid are
specified to allow optimal operation of the machine in
a wide range of temperatures. The group 1 fluids are
multi-viscosity fluids, which allow operation at lower
temperatures without the increased viscosity
associated with straight viscosity fluids.
Using the Mobil 424 type fluids in the higher ambient
temperatures may result in decreased efficiency in some
of the hydraulic components compared with using the
Mobil DTE 26 type fluids.
The Mobil DTE 26 type fluids are straight viscosity
fluids which remain slightly more viscous at higher
temperatures than the multi-viscosity fluids.
Using the Mobil DTE 26 type fluids in the lower
ambient temperatures may result in harder starting,
increased engine laboring while cold, sluggish or non-
operating valve spools while cold and increase filter back
pressure.
It is recommended that you select the set of conditions
(either ambient temperatures above 70° F, or below 100°
F), and use that type of fluid throughout the year, instead
of changing fluid types several times during the year.
Group 3 Hydraulic Fluid (Biodegradable):
ISO type 32/46 anti-wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil
EAL 224 H
Note: This biodegradable hydraulic fluid is not
compatible with the fluids in group 1 or 2. Using this
hydraulic fluid may require an oil cooler kit (Model No.
04499) to be installed.
Note: When changing from one type of hydraulic fluid to
another, be certain to remove all the old fluid from the
system because some brands are not completely
compatible with other brands of hydraulic fluid.
Note: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid is
available in19.8 ml bottles. One bottle is sufficient
for 22 L of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-
2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface. Make sure
the machine has cooled down so fluid is cold.
2.
Remove the cap from reservoir and check the level
of fluid. The fluid should be up to bottom of screen
in the filler neck.

3.
If the fluid level is low, slowly fill reservoir with
Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent hydraulic fluid until
the level reaches the bottom of the screen. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: To prevent system contamination,
clean the tops of hydraulic fluid containers
before puncturing them. Assure the pour spout
and funnel are clean.
4.
Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that
may have spilled.
INSPECT THE FUEL FILTER
(Fig. 7)
Inspect the fuel filter bowl, daily, for water or other
contaminants. If water or other contaminants are
present, they must be removed before commencing
operation.
1.
Close the fuel shut-off above the filter.
2.
Unscrew the nut securing the bowl to the filter head.
Remove water or other contaminants from the bowl.
3.
Inspect the fuel filter and replace if dirty. Refer to
Replacing The Fuel Filter.
