Checking The Hydraulic Fluid Level - Toro 30857 Operator's Manual

DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe
up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25
mm) below the top of the tank, not the filler
neck. This empty space in the tank allows the
fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel fumes
may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system
in place and in proper working condition.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (Figure 17).

1. Fuel tank cap
2. Fill the tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) below the top
of the tank, not the filler neck, with No. 2 diesel
fuel. Then install the cap.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use.
This will minimize possible buildup of condensation
inside the fuel tank.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark which
can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with
its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a fuel dispenser
nozzle.
• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 7.5 U.S. gallons (13.2 l) of high quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid
before the engine is first started and daily thereafter.
The recommended replacement fluid is as follows:
Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5
gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See parts catalog or Toro
distributor for part numbers.)
Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other
fluids may be used provided they meet all the following
material properties and industry specifications. We do
not recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult
with your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory
product Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for
damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only
products from reputable manufacturers who will stand
behind their recommendation.
