3. Fill tank to no more than one inch (25 mm) below
bottom of filler neck with No. 2 diesel fuel. Do not
overfill. Then install cap.
Note: For temperatures below 32°F., No. 1 diesel fuel or a
blend should be used.
Danger
Because diesel fuel is highly 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.
4. Close hood and secure latch.
Checking the Hydraulic Circuit
Oil
The machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 6.5 gallons (24.6 l) of high quality hydraulic
fluid. Check the level of hydraulic fluid before the
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.
Multi-grade Hydraulic Fluid – ISO VG 46
Normal Climate: 0 (–18C) to 110F (43C)
Mobil DTE 15M
Amoco Rykon Premium ISO 46
Chevron Rykon Premium Oil ISO 46
Conoco Hydroclear AW MV46
Exxon Univis N46
Pennzoil AWX MV46
Shell Tellus T 46
Texaco Rando HDZ 46
Important The ISO VG 46 Multi-grade fluid has been
found to offer optimal performance in a wide range of
temperature conditions. For operation in consistently high
ambient temperatures, 65 F (18 C) to 120 F (49 C), ISO
VG 68 hydraulic fluid may offer improved performance.
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.
Not recommended for biodegradable fluid (use food
coloring).
1. Park machine on a level surface and stop engine. Make
sure machine has been operated so oil is warm. Release
hood latch and open hood. Check level of oil by
viewing sight gauge (Fig. 4). If oil is visible in gauge,
oil level is sufficient.
2. If oil level is not visible in gauge, remove cap from
hydraulic oil reservoir (Fig. 4) and slowly add high
quality hydraulic fluid until level reaches middle
(maximum) of sight gauge. Do not overfill.

Important To prevent system contamination, clean top
of hydraulic oil containers before puncturing. Assure pour
spout and funnel are clean.
