Important Group 1 fluids are recommended for use at
typical ambient temperatures of 32 F (0 C) to 105 F
(41 C). The ISO Type 46/48 fluid has been found to offer
optimal performance in a wide range of temperature
conditions for the average user. The Universal Tractor
Fluids offer similar performance for those who prefer them,
with perhaps some slight loss of efficiency at high ambient
temperatures compared to the Type 46/48 fluids.
Group 2 fluids are recommended for heavy-duty use in hot
climates where ambient temperatures range from about
65 F (18 C) to 120 F (49 C). Use at lower ambient
temperatures may result in hard starting, increased engine
laboring while cold, sluggish or non-operating spool valves
while cold and high filter back-pressure due to the higher
viscosity of these fluids.
Note: When changing from one type of hydraulic fluid to
another, be certain to remove all the old fluid from the
system, as some fluids are incompatible with others.
Group 3 Hydraulic Fluid (Biodegradable)
ISO VG 32/46 anti-wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil
Note: This biodegradable hydraulic fluid is not compatible
with the fluids in group 1 or 2.
Note: This 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.
Checking the Hydraulic System
Check the level of hydraulic fluid before the engine is
first started and daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface. Make sure that
the machine has cooled down so that the oil is cold.
Check the oil level by viewing the sight gauge on the
side of the auxiliary oil tank (Fig. 14). If the oil level is
up to the Full mark next to the gauge, the oil level is
sufficient.
