Checking The Tire Pressure; Rear Wheel Ballast - Toro 30809 Groundsmaster 3500-G Operator's Manual

Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, you may
use other fluids provided that they meet all the following
material properties and industry specifications. Toro does
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 pails or 55 gallon drums from
your Mobil Distributor.
Important: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless,
making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for
the hydraulic system oil is available in 20 ml (2/3 oz)
bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6
gallons) 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, and stop the engine.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of the
hydraulic tank (Figure

1. Hydraulic tank cap
3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe it
with a clean rag.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, then remove it
and check the fluid level.
Note: The fluid level should be within the marks on
the dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add the appropriate amount of fluid
to raise the level to the full mark.
6. 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 97 to 124 kPa (14 to 18 psi).
Note: Maintain the recommended pressure in all tires to
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine performance.
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side hill
stability. This can cause a rollover, which can result
in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.

Rear Wheel Ballast

The machine conforms to ANSI standard B71.4-2012
standard when 22.6 kg (50 lb) of calcium-chloride ballast is
added to the rear wheels.
Important: If a puncture occurs in a tire containing
calcium chloride, remove the machine from the turf as
quickly as possible. Immediately soak the affected area
with water to prevent possible damage to the turf.
