Note: An Oil Cooler Kit, Part No. 104-7701, is required
on the traction unit when using the biodegradable fluid.
Fluid temperature should not exceed 180F (82C).
Also, regardless of hydraulic fluid type used, any traction
unit used for fairway mowing or used during high ambient
temperatures (70F (20C) to 120F (49C) should have
an oil cooler installed.
Note: Biodegradable oil is available in 5 gallon (19 l)
containers from your Authorized Toro Distributor. Order
Part No. 100-7674.
Note: When changing from standard fluid to the
biodegradable type, be certain to follow approved flushing
procedures as published by Mobil. Contact your local
Toro Distributor for details.
Filling the Hydraulic Tank
1. Position the machine on a level surface. Make sure the
machine has cooled down so the fluid is cold.
2. Remove the cap from the reservoir and check the level
of fluid. The fluid should be up to the bottom of the
screen in the filler neck (Fig. 20).
3. If the fluid level is low, slowly fill the reservoir with
the appropriate hydraulic fluid until the level reaches
the bottom of the screen. Do not overfill.
Important To prevent system contamination, clean the
top of the hydraulic fluid containers before puncturing.
Ensure the pour spout and funnel are clean.
4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that may
have spilled.

Draining Water from the Fuel
Filter/Water Separator
Any water accumulation should be drained from the fuel
filter/water separator before each use or when the warning
light glows.
1. Position the machine on a level surface and stop the
engine.
2. Place a drain pan under the fuel filter.
3. Open the drain plug on the fuel filter/water separator
approximately one turn and drain any accumulated
water. If necessary, operate the priming pump to drain
the water (Fig. 21). Tighten the plug after draining.
4. Start the engine and make sure the warning light goes
out. Check for leaks.
Note: Because the accumulated water will be mixed with
diesel fuel, drain the fuel filter into a suitable container
and dispose of it properly.

Checking the Tire Pressure
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce the pressure. The correct air
pressure is:
• Front tires: 8–12 psi
• Rear tire: 8–15 psi
Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut
had previously been acceptable. There must be light
contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife;
refer to Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting Unit
Operator’s Manual).
