Change Hydraulic Fluid - Toro Reelmaster 5500-D Service Manual

Change Hydraulic Fluid

Change hydraulic fluid after every 800 operating hours,
in normal conditions. If fluid becomes contaminated,
contact your local TORO distributor because the system
must be flushed. Contaminated fluid looks milky or black
when compared to clean oil.
1. Turn engine off and raise hood.
2. Remove drain plug from bottom of reservoir and let
hydraulic fluid flow into drain pan (Fig. 29). Reinstall and
tighten plug when hydraulic fluid stops draining.
IMPORTANT: Use only hydraulic fluids specified.
Other fluids could cause system damage.
3. Fill reservoir with approximately 8.5 gallons (32 L) of
hydraulic fluid. Refer to Checking Hydraulic Fluid.
4. Install reservoir cap (Fig. 30). Start engine and use
all hydraulic controls to distribute hydraulic fluid
throughout the system. Also check for leaks. Then stop
the engine.
5. Check level of fluid and add enough to raise level to
FULL mark on dipstick. DO NOT OVER FILL.
