8. Fill the hydraulic tank with Toro Hy-Pro, Mobil
Fluid 424, or equivalent; refer to Checking the
Hydraulic Fluid, page 16.
Note: Dispose of used oil at a certified
recycling center.
9. Install the hood; refer to Installing the Hood,
page 26.
10. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to
Using the Cylinder Locks, page 22) and lower
the loader arms.
Checking Hydraulic Lines
After every 100 operating hours, check the hydraulic
lines and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, weather, and chemical
deterioration. Replace all moving hydraulic hoses
every 1500 hours or 2 years, which ever comes first.
Make necessary repairs before operating.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
Servicing
the Battery
Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 100
hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully
charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case.
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with
a solution of four parts water and one part baking
soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to reduce corrosion.
Voltage: 12 v, 380 Cold Cranking Amps
Checking the Electrolyte Level
1. Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte
must be up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 30).
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the electrolyte to
get below the plates. (Fig. 30).

2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount
of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the
Battery, below.
Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is
just before you operate the traction unit. This lets the
water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 30).
3. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the level is up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 30).
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the battery
because electr
olyte (sulfuric acid) can cause
sever
e corr
osion and damage to the chassis.
4. Press the filler caps onto the battery.
