High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Antiwear Hydraulic
Fluid, ISO VG 46 Multigrade
Material Properties:
Viscosity, ASTM D445
Viscosity index, ASTM
D2270
Pour point, ASTM D97
FZG, fail stage
Water content (new fluid)
Industry Specifications:
Vickers I-286-S, Vickers M-2950-S, Denison HF-0,
Vickers 35 VQ 25 (Eaton ATS373-C)
The proper hydraulic fluids must be specified for
mobile machinery (as opposed to industrial plant
usage), multiweight-type, with ZnDTP or ZDDP
anti-wear additive package (not an ashless-type fluid).
Important:
Many hydraulic fluids are almost
colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red
dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid is
available in 20 ml (2/3 fl oz) bottles. One bottle
is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of
hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from your
Authorized Toro Distributor.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, shut off the engine, engage the
parking brake, and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of
the hydraulic-fluid tank

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 6 mm
(1/4 inch) of the mark on the dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add the appropriate 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
proper 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 could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check the reel-to-bedknife contact even if the quality
of cut had been acceptable previously. There must
be light contact across the full length of the reel and
bedknife; refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in the
cutting unit operator's manual.

Torquing the Wheel Nuts

Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel nuts to 61 to 88 N∙m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
g008886
nuts could result in personal injury.
Ensure that the wheel nuts are torqued to 61
to 88 N∙m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
