DANGER
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use
caution when storing or handling it. Do
not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do
not fill fuel tank while engine is running,
hot, or when machine is in an enclosed
area. Always fill fuel tank outside and
wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean,
safety-approved container and keep cap
in place. Use diesel fuel for the engine
only; not for any other purpose.
CHECK HYDRAULIC FLUID (Fig. 7)
The The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 12 quarts of high quality tractor
hydraulic fluid. Check level of hydraulic fluid before
engine is first started and daily thereafter.
Appropriate hydraulic oils are listed below.
The following list is not assumed to be all-inclusive.
Hydraulic fluids produced by other manufacturers may
be used if they can cross reference to find an
equivalent to the products listed. Toro will not assume
responsibility for damage caused by improper
substitutions, so use only products from reputable
manufacturers who will stand behind their
recommendation.
Universal Tractor Hydraulic Fluid
Mobil Mobil Fluid 424
Amoco 1000 Fluid
Chevron Tractor Hydraulic Fluid
Conoco Hydroclear Powertrain
Exxon Univis N46
Pennzoil Hydra-Tranz
Shell Donax TD
Texaco TDH
IMPORTANT: Do Not Use Biodegradable Hydraulic
Fluid.
Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless,
making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for
the hydraulic system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml)
bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4-6 gal (15-22 1) of
hydraulic oil. Order part no.44-2500 from your
authorized Toro distributor.
1. Position machine on a level surface, raise the
implement, and stop the engine.
2. Unscrew dipstick cap (Fig. 7) from the filler neck
and wipe it with a clean rag. Screw dipstick cap finger
tight onto filler neck. Unscrew the dipstick and check
level of oil. If level is not up to FULL mark on dipstick
(Fig. 7), add enough oil to raise level to mark. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
3. Screw dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto filler
neck.
4. Lower the implement.

CHECK REAR AXLE LUBRICANT (Fig. 8)
(Model 30302 Only)
The rear axle reservoir uses Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid.
Although the axle is shipped with lubricant from the
factory, check the level before operating the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove check plug from axle and make sure
lubricant is up to bottom of hole. If level is low, add
enough lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of
the check hole (Fig. 8).
