Checking The Auger Gearbox Oil Level; Changing The Engine Oil - Toro Power Max Heavy Duty 1128 OHXE 38803 Operator's Manual

Checking the Auger Gearbox
Oil Level
Service Interval: Yearly—Check the auger gearbox oil and
add oil if necessary.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the pipe plug (Figure 52).
3. Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox.
4. Check the oil level in the gearbox. The oil should be at
the point of overflowing at the filler opening.
5. If the oil level is low, add GL-5 or GL-6, SAE 85-95
EP gear oil lubricant to the gearbox until the point of
overflow.
Note: Do not use synthetic oil.
6. Install the pipe plug in the gearbox.

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 5 hours
Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)
If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because
warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
Use automotive detergent oil with an API service classification
of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. Refer to your engine owner's
manual.
Use Figure 53 below to select the best oil viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected:
1. Using SAE 30 at outdoor
temperatures below 40°F
(4°C) will result in hard
starting.

increased oil consumption;
therefore, check the oil
level more frequently in
these circumstances.
