system oil is available in 20 ml (2/3 oz) bottles. One bottle
is sufficient for 15-22 L (4-6 gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order
part no. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor. This
red dye is not recommended for use with biodegradable
fluids. Use food coloring.
Important: Regardless of the hydraulic fluid type used,
any machine used for off green applications, verticutting
or used during ambient temperatures above 29° C (85° F)
should have Oil Cooler Kit installed; refer to 5 Installing
the Optional Oil Cooler (page 14).
Filling the Hydraulic Tank
1. Position the machine on a level surface. Make sure the
machine has cooled down so the oil is cold.
2. Remove the cap from the reservoir (Figure 30).

3. Slowly fill the reservoir with the appropriate hydraulic
fluid until the level is at or within 6 mm (1/4 inch) of
the arrow in the symbol next to the white window in
the front of the reservoir (Figure 31). Do not overfill.

Important: To prevent system contamination,
clean the top of the hydraulic fluid containers
before puncturing. Ensure the pour spout and
funnel are clean.

4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that may
have spilled.
Important: Check level of hydraulic fluid before
engine is first started and daily thereafter.
Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut had
previously been acceptable. There must be light contact
across the full length of the reel and bedknife; refer to
Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual.
Before checking the reels, disconnect the cutting unit power
disconnect couplers; refer to Cutting Unit Power Disconnect
(page 25). Connect them when finished.
CAUTION
If you do not disconnect the power to the cutting
units, someone could accidentally start the cutting
unit, causing serious injury to hands and feet.
Always separate the cutting unit power disconnect
couplers before working on the cutting units.

Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are over-inflated at the factory for shipping
purposes. Reduce the pressure to the proper levels before
starting the unit.
Vary the tire pressure for all 3 wheels, depending upon your
turf conditions, from a minimum of 83 to a maximum of 110
kPa (12 psi to 16 psi).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 95 to 122 N-m (70 to 90
ft-lb) after 1-4 hours of operation and again after
10 hours of operation. Torque every 200 hours
thereafter.

Breaking-in the Machine

Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the machine for oil
change and maintenance procedures recommended during
the break-in period.
