Changing The Engine Oil - Toro Z Master Professional 7000 Series Operator's Manual

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 100 hours
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine on a level surface.
3. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
5. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the drain plug
and let the oil drain completely (Figure 36).
6. Remove the oil filler cap from the top of the engine
(Figure 38). This will help the oil to drain.
7. Install the drain plug and tighten it to 25-1/2 ft-lb
(35 N-m).
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.

Adding Engine Oil
Important: The fasteners for the front engine panel are
designed to remain on the machine after cover removal.
Loosen all of the fasteners a few turns so that the panel
is loose but still attached, then go back and loosen them
until the panel comes free. This will prevent you from
accidentally stripping the bolts free of the retainers.
1. Tilt the seat forward, loosen the bolts holding the front
engine panel and remove it (Figure 37).

3. To add oil to the engine, locate and use a hose and
funnel for adding oil (Figure 39).
4. Add oil slowly, checking the level with the dipstick
frequently until the level reaches the upper hole on the
dipstick. For the correct oil type and viscosity to use in
different temperature conditions, refer to Servicing the
Engine Oil in Servicing the Engine Oil (page 32).
