kink ed lines , loose mounting suppor ts , w ear ,
loose fittings , w eather deterioration, and c hemical
deterioration. Mak e all necessar y re pairs before
operating .
Hy draulic fluid escaping under pr essur e can
penetrate skin and cause injur y .
• Mak e sur e all h y draulic fluid hoses
and lines ar e in good condition and all
h y draulic connections and fittings ar e
tight bef or e appl ying pr essur e to the

Hydraulic System Test Ports
Use the h y draulic system test por ts to test the
pressure in the h y draulic circuits . Contact y our
local T oro distributor for assistance .
Use T est P or t #1 ( Figure 73 ) to assist in
troubleshooting the h y draulic circuit for the front
cutting units and lift cylinders .
Use T est P or t #2 ( Figure 73 ) to assist in
troubleshooting the h y draulic circuit for the rear
cutting units .
Use T est P or t #3 (not sho wn—located on the rear
of the h y drostatic transmission) used to measure
the c harg e pressure of the transmission.
