Checking The Hydraulic Lines And Hoses - Toro Greensmaster 3250-D Operator's Manual

Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid
Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface. Ensure
that the machine has cooled down so the fluid
is cold.
2. Remove the cap from the reservoir and check
the fluid level. The fluid should be up to the
bottom of the screen in the filler neck

3. If the fluid level is low, slowly fill the reservoir
with the appropriate hydraulic fluid until the
level reaches the bottom of the screen. Do not
overfill.
Important:
To prevent system
contamination, clean the top of the
hydraulic fluid containers before puncturing.
Ensure the pour spout and funnel are clean.
4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that
may have spilled.
Important:
Check level of hydraulic fluid
before engine is first started and daily
thereafter.
Changing the Hydraulic Fluid and
Filter
Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 800 hours
Hydraulic Fluid Capacity: 25.7 L (6.8 US gallons)
If the fluid becomes contaminated, have your
authorized Toro distributor flush the system.
Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when
compared to clean fluid.

(Figure 49). Place a drain pan under the filter
and remove the filter.

Note:
If you will not be draining the fluid,
disconnect and plug the hydraulic line going to
the filter.
2. Fill the replacement filter with the appropriate
hydraulic fluid, lubricate the sealing gasket, and
hand turn it until the gasket contacts the filter
head. Then tighten it 3/4 turn further.
3. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with hydraulic fluid;
refer to Hydraulic Fluid Specifications (page 44)
and Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid Level (page
45).
4. Start the machine and run it at idle for 3 to 5
minutes to circulate the fluid and remove any air
trapped in the system. Shut off the engine and
check the fluid level.
5. Dispose of the fluid and filter properly.
Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for
leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear,
loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical
deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before
operating.
