Belt Maintenance

Servicing the Alternator
Belt
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the belts
105) after every 100 operating hours.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Proper tension will allow 10 mm (3/8 inch)
deflection when a force of 45 N (10 lb) is applied
on the belt midway between the pulleys.
3. If the deflection is not 10 mm (3/8 inch), loosen
the alternator mounting bolts

4. Increase or decrease the tension of the
alternator belt and tighten the bolts.
5. Check the deflection of the belt again to ensure
that the tension is correct.

Hydraulic System
Maintenance

Hydraulic System Safety

•
Ensure 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 skin. Injected fluid must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor.
Checking the Level of the
Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately
28.4 L (7.5 US gallons) 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 Toro
Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (available in
5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums. See parts catalog
or Toro distributor for part numbers).
Alternative fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available,
other conventional, petroleum-based fluids may be
used, provided that they meet all of the following
material properties and industry specifications. Check
with your oil supplier to see whether the fluid meets
these specifications.
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.
