Operation; Checking The Engine Oil Level; Checking The Cooling System - Toro 03673 Reelmaster 5410-G Operator's Manual

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone
could accidently start the engine and seriously
injure you or other bystanders.
Lower the cutting units to the ground, set the
parking brake and remove the key from the ignition
switch before servicing or making adjustments to
the machine.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the
oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first
started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 6 liters (6.3 qt.) with
the filter.
Use any high-quality engine oil that meets the API
classification level of SL or higher.
Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient
temperature.
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor in
either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity.
Above 25 degrees C (77
degrees F)
0 degrees C to 25 degrees C
(32 degrees F to 77 degrees
F)
0 degrees C to –20 degrees C
(32 degrees F to –4 degrees
F)
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
set the parking brake and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Open the hood.
3. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and install it (Figure
26).
4. Remove dipstick and check oil level on dipstick. The
oil level should be up to the Full mark.
5. If the oil level is below the Full mark, remove the fill
cap (Figure 26) and add oil until level reaches the Full
mark on dipstick. Do not overfill.
6. After adding oil, wait more than 5 minutes and check
the oil level again. It takes some time for the oil to
drain down to the pan.
SAE30 or SAE 10W-30
SAE 15W-40
SAE20 or SAE 10W-30
SAE10W or SAE 10W-30
1. Dipstick
Important: Be sure to keep the engine oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the oil
gauge. Engine failure may occur as a result of over
filling or under filling the engine oil.
7. Install the oil fill cap and close the hood.

Checking the Cooling System

Clean debris off of the screen, oil cooler, and front of the
radiator daily and more often if conditions are extremely
dusty and dirty. Refer to the section on Removing Debris
from the Cooling System.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check the level of
coolant in the expansion tank at the beginning of each day
before starting the engine. The capacity of the cooling system
is 6.6 liters (7.0 quarts).
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot
coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the engine
is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
1. Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank
(Figure 27).
The coolant level should be between the marks on the
side of the tank.
