Hydraulic System Safety

WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin.
Checking the Hydraulic
Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the hydraulic-fluid level.
The hydraulic-fluid reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 62.7 L (16.6 US gallons) of high-quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic
fluid before you start the engine for the first time
and daily thereafter.
Use Toro Premium All-Season Hydraulic Fluid
(Available in 5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums. See
the Parts Catalog or Toro distributor for part numbers.)
If the Toro fluid is not available, you may use other
fluids provided that they meet all the following material
properties and industry specifications. Consult with
your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory
product.
Note:
Toro does not assume responsibility for
damage caused by improper substitutions, so use
only products from reputable manufacturers who will
stand behind their recommendation.
