Maintenance
transmission fluid, disconnect the run solenoid
on the engine and crank the engine several
times for 15 seconds. This allows the charge
pump to fill the transmission with fluid before
the engine is started.
REPLACING TRANSMISSION
FILTER
Change the transmission filter after the first 10 hours
of operation and every 800 hours thereafter. Only the
Toro replacement filter (Part No.75-1330) can be
used in the hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT. Use of any other filter may void
the warranty on some components.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the
parking brakes and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Clean the area around the filter mounting area.
Place the drain pan under the filter and remove
the filter.
3. Lubricate the new filter gasket and fill the filter
with hydraulic oil.
4. Assure the filter-mounting area is clean. Screw
the filter on until the gasket contacts the
mounting plate. Then tighten the filter one half
turn.
5. Start the engine and let it run for about two
minutes to purge air from the system. Stop the
engine and check for leaks. Check the fluid
level and replenish if necessary.
CHANGING REAR AXLE
LUBRICANT (Fig. 55) (Model

axle must be changed.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the (3) drain plugs, (1)
on each end and (1) in the center.

drain pans.
4. After oil is drained, apply thread-locking
compound on the drain plug threads and install
them in the axle.
5. Fill the axle with lubricant; refer to Check Rear
Axle Lubricant.
REAR WHEEL TOE-IN (Fig. 56)
After every 800 operating hours or annually, check
rear wheel toe-in.
1. Measure center-to-center distance (at axle
height) at the front and rear of the steering tires.
Front measurement must be 3mm less than the
rear measurement.
