Changing Hydraulic Fluid; Replacing Hydraulic Filter; Checking Hydraulic Lines And Hoses - Toro 03200 Reelmaster 3100-D Operator's Manual

Changing Hydraulic Fluid

Change hydraulic fluid after every 400 operating hours, in
normal conditions. If fluid becomes contaminated, contact
your local TORO distributor because the system must be
flushed. Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when
compared to clean oil.
1. Turn engine off and raise hood.
2. Disconnect hydraulic line or remove hydraulic filter and
let hydraulic fluid flow into drain pan. Reinstall line
when hydraulic fluid stops draining.

3. Fill reservoir with approximately 3.5 gallons of
hydraulic fluid. Refer to Checking Hydraulic Fluid.
Important Use only hydraulic fluids specified. Other
fluids could cause system damage.
4. Install reservoir cap. Start engine and use all hydraulic
controls to distribute hydraulic fluid throughout the
system. Also check for leaks. Then stop the engine.
5. Check level of fluid and add enough to raise level to
FULL mark on dipstick. DO NOT OVER FILL.

Replacing Hydraulic Filter

The hydraulic system filter must be changed initially, after
the first 10 hours of operation, and thereafter every 200
hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. Use a
genuine Toro oil filter for replacement. The hydraulic oil
must be changed every 400 hours of operation or yearly,
whichever comes first.
Use the Toro replacement filter (Part No. 54–0110).
Important
Use of any other filter may void the
warranty on some components.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake and
remove key from ignition switch.
2. Pinch off hose to filter mounting plate.
3. Clean area around filter mounting area. Place drain pan
under filter and remove filter.
4. Lubricate new filter gasket and fill the filter with
hydraulic fluid.
5. Assure filter mounting area is clean. Screw filter on
until gasket contacts mounting plate. Then tighten filter
one–half turn.
6. Start engine and let run for about two minutes to purge
air from the system. Stop the engine and check for
leaks.
Checking Hydraulic Lines And
Hoses
Daily, check hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather
deterioration and chemical deterioration. Make all
necessary repairs before operating.
