Toro 37807 - Checking the Auger-Gearbox-Oil Level; Changing the Engine Oil

Checking the
Auger-Gearbox-Oil Level
Service Interval : Y early —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 30 ).

1. Pipe plug
3. Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox.
4. Check the oil level in the gearbox. The oil should
be 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) below the ller opening.
5. If the oil level is low , add GL-5 or GL-6, SAE
80-90 EP gear oil lubricant to the gearbox until
the oil level is 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) below the ller
opening.
Note: Do not use synthetic oil.
6. Install the pipe plug in the gearbox.
Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval : After the rst 5 hours —Change the
engine oil.
Y early —Change the engine oil.
If possible, run the engine for a few minutes before
changing the oil because warm oil ows better and
carries more contaminants.
Engine oil capacity
0.70 L (24  oz)*
Oil viscosity Refer to Figure 32 .
API service classication SJ or higher
*There is residual oil in the crankcase after you drain
the oil. Do not pour the entire capacity of oil into the
crankcase. Fill the crankcase with oil as directed in
the following steps.
Use Figure 32 below to select the best oil viscosity for
the outdoor temperature range expected:
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the oil-drain cap ( Figure
31 ).

1. Oil-drain cap
3. Slide an oil-drain pan under the drain extension
and remove the oil-drain cap.
4. Drain the oil.
Note: Dispose of the used oil properly at a local
recycling center .
5. Install the oil-drain cap and tighten it securely .
6. Clean around the oil ll/dipstick.
7. Unscrew the dipstick and remove it.
8. Carefully pour about 3/4 of the engine capacity
of oil into the oil-ll tube.
