Towing Traction Unit; Check Hydraulic System Fluid - Toro Reelmaster 3100-D Service Manual

Towing Traction Unit

In case of emergency, the Reelmaster can be towed for
a short distance. However, Toro does not recommend
this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 2 to
3 mph because drive system may be damaged. If ma-
chine must be moved a considerable distance (more
than a few feet), transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Locate by−pass valve on pump and rotate it 90
2. Before starting engine, close by−pass valve by rotat-
o
ing it 90 . Do not start engine when valve is open.

Check Hydraulic System Fluid

The hydraulic system that drives the reels is designed
to operate on anti−wear hydraulic fluid. The machines
reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 3.5
gallons (13.2 liters) of DTE 15M hydraulic fluid. Check
level of the hydraulic fluid before the engine is first
started and daily thereafter.
IMPORTANT: Use only types of hydraulic fluids
specified. Other fluids could cause system damage.
NOTE: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid
is available in 2/3 oz. bottles. One bottle is sufficient for
4 to 6 gallons (15 to 23 liters) of hydraulic fluid. Order
Part No. 44−2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower cutting
units, and stop engine.
2. Clean area around filler neck and cap of the hydraulic
tank. Remove cap from the filler neck.
3. Remove dipstick from the filler neck and wipe it with
a clean rag. Insert dipstick into the filler neck; then re-
move it and check level of the fluid. Fluid level should be
within 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the mark on the dipstick.
4. If level is low, add appropriate fluid to raise the level
to full mark.
5. Install dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
