Use only 1 of the following fluids in the hydraulic system:
• Toro Premium Transmission/Hydraulic Tractor Fluid (refer to your Authorized Service
Dealer for more information)
• Toro PX Extended Life Hydraulic Fluid (refer to your Authorized Service Dealer for

• If either of the above Toro fluids are not available, you may use another Universal
Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (UTHF), but they must be only conventional, petroleum-
based products. The specifications must fall within the listed range for all the following
material properties and the fluid should meet the listed industry standards. Check with
your hydraulic fluid supplier to determine if the fluid meets these specifications.

dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid is available in 20 ml (2/3 fl oz) bottles. One
bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-
