Changing the Hydraulic
Fluid and Filters
Service Interval: After the first 75 hours—Change the
hydraulic-system filters and fluid.
Every 250 hours—After the initial
change—change the hydraulic-system
filters and fluid when using Mobil 1 15W50
fluid. (Change it more often under dirty or dusty
conditions)
Every 500 hours—After the initial
change—change the hydraulic-system
filters and fluid when using Toro
500 fluid. (Change it more often under dirty or
dusty conditions)
To replace the hydraulic fluid, the filters need to be
removed. Replace both at the same time; refer to
Hydraulic Fluid Specifications (page 51)
specifications.
Purge any air in the system after you install the new
filters and add fluid. Refer to
System (page
