Checking The Hydraulic Fluid - Toro 30864 Operator's Manual

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 the cap from the fuel tank (Figure 12).

1. Fuel tank cap
4. Fill the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2
inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.
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 37.8 liters (10 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.
High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear Hydraulic
Fluid, ISO VG 46
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445
Viscosity Index ASTM
D2270
Pour Point, ASTM D97
Industry Specifications:
Vickers I-286-S (Quality Level), Vickers M-2950-S
(Quality Level), Denison HF-0
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 20 ml (2/3 oz) bottles. One bottle is
sufficient for 15-22 1iters (4-6 gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order
part no. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid - Mobil EAL Envirosyn 46H
Toro Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5
gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See parts catalog or Toro
distributor for part numbers.)
Note: This is vegetable-oil based biodegradable oil tested
and approved by Toro for this model. This fluid is not as
resistant to high temperatures as standard fluid, so be sure
to follow the recommended fluid change intervals with this
fluid. Contamination by mineral-based hydraulic fluids will
change the biodegradability and toxicity of this oil. When
changing from standard fluid to the biodegradable type, be
certain to follow the approved flushing procedure. Contact
your local Toro Distributor for details.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
decks and stop the engine.
2. Clean area around filler neck and cap of hydraulic tank
(Figure 13).
