Industry Specifications:
Vickers I-286-S (Quality Level), Vickers M-2950-S
(Quality Level), Denison HF-0
Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless,
making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for
the hydraulic system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml)
bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4-6 gal (15-22 1)
of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from your
authorized Toro distributor.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid - Mobil 224H
Toro Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5 gallon
pails or 55 gallon drums. See parts catalog or Toro distributor
for part numbers.)
Alternate fluid: Mobil Envirosyn 46H
Note: This is vegetable-oil based biodegradable oil
tested and approved by Toro for this model. This fluid
is not as resistant to high temperatures as standard
fluid so make sure to follow the recommended fluid
change intervals with this fluid. Contamination
by mineral-based hydraulic fluids will change the
biodegradability and toxicity of this oil. When changing
from standard fluid to the biodegradable type, be
certain to follow the approved flushing procedure.
Contact your local Toro Distributor for details.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of the
hydraulic tank (Figure 18). Remove the cap from
the filler neck.
1. Hydraulic tank cap
3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe
it with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the filler
neck; then remove it and check the fluid level. The
fluid level should be between the two marks on the
dipstick.
Figure 18
4. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise
the level to the upper mark.
5. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. The
correct air pressure in the tires is 20 psi (138 kPa).
Check the tire pressure daily.
Important: Maintain the recommended pressure
in all tires to ensure a good quality-of-cut
and proper machine performance. Do not
under-inflate.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
Important: The fuel system must be bled if any of
the following situations have occurred:
• The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components.
1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
ensure that it is in neutral. Ensure that the parking
brake is set.
2. Move the throttle control to the low idle position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the Run position. The glow
indicator will light.
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key
to the Start position. Release the key immediately
when the engine starts and allow it to return to
the Run position. Move the throttle control to the
desired position.
Important: Do not run the starter motor
more than 15 seconds at a time or premature
starter failure may result. If the engine fails to
start after 15 seconds, turn the key to the Off
position, recheck the controls and procedures,
wait 15 additional seconds, and repeat the
starting procedure.
When the temperature is less than 20°F (-7°C), the
starter motor can be run for 30 seconds on then 60
seconds off for 2 attempts.
