Checking the High Flow
Hydraulic-Fluid Level
TC Models Only
Service Interval: Before each use or daily (check the level of
hydraulic fluid before the engine is first
started, and daily thereafter)
Hydraulic-fluid type: Toro Premium All Season
Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon

specifications. Consult with your lubricant distributor to
identify a satisfactory product.

3. Remove the dipstick
and wipe it with a clean rag.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, then remove it
and check the fluid level.
Note: The fluid level should be between the 2 marks
on the dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise
the level to the upper mark; refer to
High-Flow Hydraulic Fluid and Filter (page
6. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
7. Start the engine and turn on the attachment.
Note: Let them run for about 2 minutes to purge air
from the system.
Important: The machine must be running before
starting the high-flow hydraulics.
8. Shut off the engine and attachment and check for leaks.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure that all hydraulic fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into your skin.
