Checking The Hydraulic Fluid - Toro 03674 Operator's Manual

DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
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.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel tank cap.
3. Remove cap from the fuel tank (Figure 31).

4. Fill the tank until the level is to the bottom of the filler
neck with diesel fuel.
5. Install fuel tank cap tightly after filling tank.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside
the fuel tank.

Checking the Hydraulic Fluid

The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 41.6 liters (11 U.S. 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 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.
