1. Fuel tank cap
3. Fill the tank to no more than one inch below the
bottom of the filler neck with No. 2 diesel fuel. DO
NOT OVER FILL. Then install the cap.
Note: For temperatures below 0° C (32° F), No. 1
diesel fuel or a blend should be used.
4. Close the hood and secure the latch.
Check Hydraulic Circuit Oil
The machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 24.6 l (6.5 gallons) 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 all-inclusive. Hydraulic fluids
produced by other manufacturers may be used if they
can be cross referenced 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.

: 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 the machine on a level surface and stop the
engine. Make sure the machine has been operated
so the oil is warm. Release the hood latch and open
the hood. Check the oil level by viewing the sight
gauge. If oil is visible in the gauge, the oil level is
sufficient.
2. If the oil level is not visible in the gauge, remove
the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir and slowly
add a high-quality hydraulic oil until the level
reaches the middle (maximum) of the sight gauge.
DO NOT OVER FILL.

Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use
caution when storing or handling it. Do not
smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the
fuel tank while the engine is running, hot, or
when the machine is in an enclosed area. Always
fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled
diesel fuel before starting the engine. Store the
fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and
keep the cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the
engine only; not for any other purpose.
