Outcross® 9060 Series Traction Unit

Fuel tank capacity: 53 L (14 US gallons)

Important: Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel. Fuel with higher rates of sulfur degrades the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which causes operational problems and shortens the service life of engine components.Failure to observe the following cautions may damage the engine.

• Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel.

• Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the diesel fuel.

• Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on the inside.

• Do not use fuel additives.

Figure 18

Fill the tank to about 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the top of the tank, not the filler neck, with the specified fuel as described in Fuel Specifications.

Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use; this will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel tank.

Oil Type: Use high-quality, low-ash engine oil that meets or exceeds the following specifications:

• API service category CJ-4 or higher

• ACEA service category E6

• JASO service category DH-2

Important: Using engine oil other than API CJ-4 or higher, ACEA E6, or JASO DH-2 may cause the diesel particulate filter to plug or cause engine damage.

Crankcase Capacity: Approximately 5.7 L (6 US qt) with the filter.

Viscosity: Use the following engine oil viscosity grade:

• Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40 (above 0°F)

• Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all temperatures)

Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your authorized Toro distributor in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity grades. See the Parts Catalog for part numbers.

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first started.

You can check the oil without raising the hood by reaching through the engine shield on the right side of the machine (Figure 79) and pulling out the dipstick from the engine. If you must add additional engine oil, you must raise the hood; refer to Raising the Hood.

Figure 79

1. Dipstick location

Important: Check the engine oil daily. If the engine-oil level is above the Full mark on the dipstick, the engine oil may be diluted with fuel;If the engine-oil level is above the Full mark, change the engine oil.

The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill the engine with oil.

Important: Keep the engine-oil level between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick; the engine may fail if you run it with too much or too little oil.

Check the engine-oil level; refer to Figure 80.

Figure 80

Note: When using different oil, drain all old oil from the crankcase before adding new oil.

1. Start the engine and let it run 5 minutes to allow the oil to warm up.

2. With the machine parked on a level surface, shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

3. Replace the engine oil and filter (Figure 81).

   

   Figure 81

4. Add oil to the crankcase.

Empty and clean the tank also if the fuel system becomes contaminated or if you are storing the machine for an extended period of time. Use clean fuel to flush out the tank.

Inspect the fuel lines and connections for deterioration, damage, or loose connections.

3. Look through the sight port and check that the oil level in the axle is level with the bottom of the threads of the port (Figure 97 and Figure 98).

   Note: Use a flashlight and a mirror to help you see the oil level.

   • If the oil level is too high, allow the oil to drain from the sight port.

   • If the oil level is too low, add the specified oil to the axle housing sight port; refer to steps 6 and 7 in Changing the Oil in the Axles.

4. Clean the threads of the sight plug.

5. Apply PTFE thread sealing tape to the threads of the plug.

6. Install the sight plug into the sight port in the differential housing of the axle (Figure 97 and Figure 98).

Axle oil capacity: approximately 9 L (9.5 US qt)

1. Place a drain pan under the differential housing of the axle (Figure 99 and Figure 100).

2. Remove the breathers from the front axle and rear axles (Figure 103 and Figure 104).

3. Clean the breathers with a cleaning solvent.

4. Use compressed air to dry the breathers.

   Important: Wear face protection when using compressed air.

5. Install the breathers into the front and rear axles (Figure 103 and Figure 104).

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Disengage the PTO, move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position, lower all attachments (if equipped), engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

3. Remove the plug from the hydraulic tank (Figure 113).

   Note: The hydraulic-tank plug and dipstick are located behind the passenger-side seat.

4. Remove the dipstick from the hydraulic tank and wipe it with a clean cloth (Figure 113).

   

   Figure 113

5. Insert the dipstick into the hydraulic tank.

6. Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level (Figure 114).

   The hydraulic-fluid level is at the appropriate level when the fluid appears between the 2 marks on the dipstick.
