RECOMMENDED FRONT
DIFFERENTIAL/REAR DRIVE
LUBRICANT
NOTE: Toro recommends the use of genuine Toro
lubricants.
The recommended front differential/rear drive lubricant
is SAE approved 80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets
all of the lubrication requirements of this vehicle.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubricant could cause serious front differential/rear drive
damage.
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use in this vehicle is 87
minimum octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines
containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only recommended gasoline additives should be used.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/
TRANSMISSION OIL
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could
cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils
can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recommended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
FILLING GAS TANK
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never
add fuel to the gas tank near any open flames or with
the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas
tank must be filled to its specified capacity only. Expansion room must be maintained in the tank particularly if
the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a
warm area.
! WARNING
Do not overflow gasoline when filling the gas tank. A
fire hazard could materializ e. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling the gas tank.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
! WARNING

To bleed the brake system, use the following procedure.
A. Remove the cover and fill the reservoir with DOT
4 Brake Fluid; then install and secure the cover.
B. Slowly depress the brake pedal several times.
C. Remove the protective cap, install one end of a
clear hose onto the RIGHT REAR (700) or REAR
DRIVELINE (500) bleeder screw, and direct the
other end into a container; then while holding
slight pressure on the brake pedal, open the
bleeder screw and watch for air bubbles. Close the
bleeder screw before releasing the brake pedal.
Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles are
present. Repeat B and C for the rear left.
PR377C
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir very closely to make sure there is always a
sufficient amount of brake fluid. When the level falls
below MIN, refill the reservoir before the bleeding
procedure is continued. Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of fluid in the reservoir will result in air
in the system.
D. At this point, perform steps B and C on the REAR
LEFT bleeder screw (700 only); then move to the
FRONT RIGHT bleeder screw and follow the
same procedure. Finally, complete the procedure
on the FRONT LEFT bleeder screw.
E. Repeat steps B and C until the brake pedal is firm.
3. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake system to
ensure all hose connections are tight, the bleed
screws are tight, the protective caps are installed, and
no leakage is present.
CAUTION
This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT 4
brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care must be
taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to painted surfaces.

BRAKE DISC
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the brake
disc in the contact surface. If thickness is 0.125 in. or
less, the disc must be replaced. To replace the brake disc,
see Drive System – Hub.
Burnishing Brake Pads
Brake pads must be burnished to achieve full braking
effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended until
brake pads are properly burnished. To properly burnish
the brake pads, use the following procedure.
16
! WARNING
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to
premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake loss can
result in severe injury.
