Check Hydraulic Fluid - Toro Reelmaster 5200-D Service Manual

Check Hydraulic Fluid

The hydraulic system driving the reels is designed to op-
erate on anti-wear hydraulic fluid. The reservoir holds
about 8.5 gallons (32 L)hydraulic fluid. Check level of
hydraulic fluid daily.
Note: The fluids in this group are interchangeable.
Group 1 Hydraulic Fluid (Recommended for ambi-
ent temperatures consistently below 100_ F.):
ISO type 46/68 anti-wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil
Amoc
International Harvester
Texaco
Shell
Union OIl
Chevron
BP Oil
Boron OIl
Exxon
Conoco
Kendall
Phillips
Note: The fluids in this group are interchangeable.
Group 2 Hydraulic Fluid (Recommended for ambi-
ent temperatures consistently above 70_ F.):
ISO type 68 anti-wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil
Shell
Amoco
Arco
Boron
BP Oil
Castrol
Chevron
Citgo
Conoco
Exxon
Gulf
Pennzoil
Phillips
Standard
Texaco
Union
IMPORTANT: Two groups of hydraulic fluid are spe-
cified to allow optimal operation of the machine in
a wide range of temperatures encountered. The
Group 1 fluids are a multi-viscosity hydraulic fluids
that allow operation at lower temperatures without
increased viscosity, which is associated with
straight viscosity fluids.

Using the Mobil 424 type fluids in the higher ambient
temperatures may result in decreased efficiency in
some of the hydraulic components compared to using
the Mobil DTE 26 type fluids.
The Mobil DTE 26 type fluids are straight viscosity fluids
which remain slightly more viscous at higher tempera-
tures than the multi-viscosity fluids.
Using the Mobil DTE 26 type fluids in the lower ambient
temperatures may result in harder starting, increased
engine laboring while cold, sluggish or non-operating
valve spools while cold and increase filter back pressure
due to the higher fluid viscosity.
It is recommended that you select which set of condi-
tions, either ambient temperatures above 70_ F (21_ C).
or below 100_ F (38_ C), and use that type of fluid
throughout the year, rather than changing fluid types
several times per year.
Group 3 Hydraulic Fluid (Biodegradable):
ISO VG 32/46 anti-wear hydraulic fluid
Mobil
Note: This biodegradable hydraulic fluid in this group
is not compatible with the fluids in Group 1 or 2.
Note: When changing from one type of hydraulic fluid
to the other, be certain to remove all the old fluid from the
system, because some brands of one type are not com-
pletely compatible with some brands of the other type of
hydraulic fluid.
IMPORTANT: Use only types of hydraulic fluids
specified. Other fluids could cause system damage.
Note: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid
is available in 2/3 oz. (20 cc) bottles. One bottle is suffi-
cient for 4 to 6 gal. (15 to 23 L) of hydraulic fluid. Order
Part No. 44-2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cut-
ting units and stop the engine.
2. Clean area around filler neck and cap of hydraulic
reservoir. Remove cap from filler neck.
3. Remove dipstick from filler neck and wipe it with a
clean rag. Insert dipstick into filler neck; then remove it
and check level of fluid. Fluid level should be within 1/4
inch (0.6 cm) of the mark on dipstick.
4. If level is low, add appropriate fluid to raise level to full
mark
5. Install dipstick and cap onto filler neck.
