If the engine has been running, the pressurized,
hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is
running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
Caution
1. Carefully remove the radiator cap (Fig. 25).

2. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator
should be filled to the middle of the horizontal filler
neck and the surge tank (Fig. 26) should be half way
between Full and Low.

3. If the coolant level is low, replenish the system. Do not
overfill.
4. Install the radiator cap.
Checking the Hydraulic System
Fluid
The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 3.3 gallons (12.5 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.
Group 1 Hydraulic Fluid
Note: The fluids within this group are interchangeable.
ISO VG 46 Multigrade Hydraulic Fluid
Normal Climate: 0 (–18C) to 110F (43C)
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 Multigrade 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.
Group 2 Hydraulic Fluid (Biodegradable):
ISO VG 32/46 anti–wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil EAL 224H
Important Due to the nature of biodegradable fluids, it
is critical that the fluid be changed at the recommended
intervals or severe hydraulic component damage may
occur.
Note: The fluid in this group is not compatible with the
fluids in group 1.
Important These hydraulic fluids are specified to allow
optimal operation of the machine in a wide range of
temperatures encountered. The group 1 fluids are a
