bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4-6 U.S. gallons
(15-22 1) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from
your authorized Toro distributor.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid—Mobil 224H
Toro Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5
gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. See parts catalog or Toro
distributor for part numbers.)
Alternate fluid: Mobil EAL 224H
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
install an oil cooler if required by the operator manual
and follow 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.

3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe
it with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the filler
neck; then remove it and check the fluid level. The
fluid level should be within 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the
mark on the dipstick.
4. If the level is low, add the appropriate fluid to raise
the level to the full mark.
5. 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
correct air pressure in the tires is 14 to 18 psi (97 to
124 kPa).
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.

Torquing the Wheel Nuts

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

Engine
You may need to bleed the fuel system if any of the
following situations have occurred (refer to Bleeding
the Fuel System):
• Initial start up of a new engine
• The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components; i.e. filter replaced, etc.
Starting the Engine
