DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing a spark which
can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with
its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a fuel dispenser
nozzle.
• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 7.5 U.S. gallons (28.4 l) 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 as follows:
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.

Premium Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid-Mobil
EAL EnviroSyn 46H
Important: Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H is the only
synthetic biodegradable fluid approved by Toro.
This fluid is compatible with the elastomers used
in Toro hydraulic systems and is suitable for a
wide-range of temperature conditions. This fluid is
compatible with conventional mineral oils, but for
maximum biodegradability and performance the
hydraulic system should be thoroughly flushed of
conventional fluid. The oil is available in 5 gallon
(19 l) containers or 55 gallon drums from your
Mobil Distributor.
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.
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 38). Remove the cap from
the filler neck.
