Checking The Hydraulic-Fluid Level - Toro 04540 Operator's Manual

Important: Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel stabilizers with an
alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.
DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without the entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released, causing a spark which
can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from
fuel can burn you and others and can damage
property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets
or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the
container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove the machine from the
truck or trailer and refuel the machine with its
wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel the machine
on a truck or trailer from a portable container
rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
1. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it
23).
1. Fuel-tank cap
2. Add unleaded regular gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 25 mm (1 inch) below the bottom of the filler
neck.
This space in the tank allows the fuel to expand. Do
not fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.
Note: You will hear a click sound when the cap is
secure.
Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid
Level
The hydraulic-fluid reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 25.7 L (6.8 US gallons) of high quality hydraulic
fluid. Before operating the machine each day, check level of
the hydraulic fluid in the white plastic window on the front of
the hydraulic-fluid reservoir (behind the seat on the left side).
The fluid should be between the lines in the window; if not,
add an appropriate fluid as described in the following sections:
The recommended replacement fluid is as follows:
Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in
5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums. See parts catalog or
Toro distributor for part numbers.)
Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other fluids
may be used provided they meet all the following material
properties and industry specifications. We do not recommend
the use of synthetic fluid. Consult with your lubricant
distributor to identify a satisfactory product
Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage
caused by improper substitutions, so use only products
from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind their
recommendation.
