Checking The Tire Pressure; Starting And Stopping The Engine - Toro 30856 Operator's Manual

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.
High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear Hydraulic
Fluid, ISO VG 46
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445
Viscosity Index ASTM
D2270
Pour Point, ASTM D97
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 EAL 224H
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 install an oil cooler if required by the operator
manual and follow 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 17). 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.
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.
Refer to Bleeding the Fuel System in Fuel System
Maintenance , page 35.
