Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
followingtables.For critical applications, as determined
byToro, either the recommended torque or a torquethat
is unique to the application is clearly identifiedand specified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fastenersshall apply to all fasteners which
donot have aspecific requirement identifiedin this Service Manual. The following factors shall be considered
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use
of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication
onthe fastener,presenceof a prevailing torquefeature,
hardnessofthesurfaceunderneaththefastener’s head
or similar condition which affects the installation.
Fastener Identification
Asnotedinthe following tables,torquevaluesshouldbe
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener.Torque values may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value
should be determined based on the aluminum or brass
material strength, fastener size, length of thread engagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be performed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.

The function of the fuel evaporative control system is to
collect and store evaporative emissions from the fuel
tankandengine.Theevaporatecontrolsystem used on
Greensmaster 3300 machines uses a carbon cannister
to collect these evaporative emissions. Fuel vapors
fromthefueltankareventedtothecanisterwhentheengine is not running. Vapors from the canister are consumed when the engine is running.
Machines With Serial Number Below 312000000
Onmachines with serial number below 312000000, the
carbon canister is mounted under the fuel tank mount
plate. One fitting at the engine intake manifold is used
toconnect the evaporative systemtothe engine. These
machinesuseaninlinecheckvalvebetweenthecarbon
cannister and the engine intake manifold fitting.
The fuel tank on Greensmaster 3300 machines uses a
non--vented fuel cap. To connect the tank to the evaporative control system, a fuel vent valve is positioned in
the top of the tank that allows tank venting through the
carbon cannister.
NOTE: Ifthereisrestrictioninthefreshairfilter,thecarbon cannister or the fuel vent valve, the fuel tank may
distortduetoventing issues.Ifthefueltank returns toit’s
normal shape when the fuel cap is removed, restriction
in the evaporative control system is likely.
Components used in the evaporative controlsystem on
Greensmaster 3300 machines changed at serial number 312000000. Figure 1 illustrates the components
used in the evaporative control system.
Machines With Serial Number Above 312000000
Onmachines with serial numberabove312000000, the
carbon canister is mounted between the hydraulic reservoir and leak detector tank. The evaporative system
includestwo(2)connectionsto theengine:onetotheintake manifold and the second to the air cleaner base.

Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure
Before disconnecting or performing any work on your
Greensmaster hydraulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system must be relieved.
To relievehydraulic pressure in the traction circuit, park
machineona levelsurfacewiththecutting unitslowered
and off. Turnignition switch to OFF and allow engine to
stop. If machine is parked on an incline or slope, pressure in the traction circuit WILL NOT be relieved.
To relieve hydraulicpressure in liftcircuit, fully lower the
cutting units to the ground. Turn ignition switch to OFF
and allow engine to stop.Make surethat after lowering,
none of the cutting units are not being supported by the
lift cylinders.
Traction Circuit Component Failure
The traction circuit on your Greensmaster machine is a
closed loop system that includes the piston (traction)
pumpand two (2)wheel motors (three(3) wheel motors
are included if machine is equipped with optional 3WD
kit). If a component in the traction circuit should fail, debris and contamination from the failed component will
circulatethroughoutthetractioncircuit.Thiscontamination can damage other components in the circuit so it
must be removed to prevent additional component failure.
The recommended method of removing traction circuit
contamination would be to temporarily install the Toro
high flow hydraulic filter (see Special Tools in thischapter) into the circuit. This filtershould beused when connecting hydraulic test gauges in order to test traction
circuitcomponentsorafter replacing afailedtractioncircuit component (e.g. piston (traction) pump or wheel
motor). The filter will ensure that contaminates are removedfromtheclosedloopandthus,donotcauseadditional component damage.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in the steeringcircuit,park
machineona levelsurfacewiththecutting unitslowered
and off. Turn ignition switch to OFF. After engine has
come to a complete stop, rotate steering wheel in both
directions.
Hydraulic pressure in the mow circuit is relieved when
the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
Once the Toro high flow hydraulic filter kit has been
placedin the circuit,raise and support themachine with
all drive wheels off the ground. Then, operate the tractioncircuit to allow oilflow throughout thecircuit. The filter will remove contamination from the traction circuit
duringoperation. Because the Toro high flow filter is bi-directional, the traction circuit can be operated in both
the forward and reverse direction. The filter should be
removed from the machine after contamination has
been removed from the traction circuit. See Filtering
Closed--LoopTractionCircuitintheServiceandRepairs
section of this chapter for additional information on using the Toro high flow hydraulic filter.
Thealternativetousing the Torohighflowhydraulic filter
kit after a traction circuit component failure would be to
disassemble, drain and thoroughly clean all components, tubes and hoses in the traction circuit. If any debris remains in the traction circuit and the machine is
operated,thedebris cancauseadditionalcircuitcomponent failure.

Hydraulic Hoses
Hydraulichoses are subjecttoextreme conditions such
aspressuredifferentialsduring operation and exposure
to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage conditionsormishandlingduring operation andmaintenance.
These conditions can cause hose damage and deterioration. Some hoses are more susceptible to these
conditions than others. Inspect all machine hydraulic
hoses frequently for signs of deterioration or damage:
WARNING
Beforedisconnecting or performing any work on
hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in system
(seeRelieving Hydraulic System Pressure in this
section).
Hard, cracked, cut, abraded, charred, leaking or
otherwise damaged hose.
Kinked, crushed, flattened or twisted hose.
Blistered, soft, degraded or loose hose cover.
Cracked, damaged or badly corroded hose fittings.
When replacing a hydraulic hose, be sure that the hose
is straight (not twisted) before tightening the fittings.
This can be done by observing the imprint (layline) on
thehose.Usetwowrenches; hold the hose straightwith
one wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting with the other wrench (see Hydraulic Hose and
Tube Installation in this section). If the hose has an elbowatoneend,tightenthe swivel nut onthatendbefore
tightening the nut on the straight end of the hose.
For additional hydraulic hose information, refer to Toro
Service Training Book, Hydraulic Hose Servicing (Part
Number 94813SL).
Keepbodyandhandsawayfrompinholeleaksor
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to
search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
withthistypeofinjury.Gangrenemay result from
such an injury.

The traction circuit piston pump is a variable displacement pump that is directly coupled to the engine. Pushingthetractionpedalcontrolsthevariabledisplacement
piston pump swash plate to create a flow of oil. This oil
is directed to the wheel motors. Operating pressure on
the high pressure side of the closed traction circuit loop
is determined by the amount of load developed at the
fixed displacement wheel motors. As the load increases,circuitpressurecanincreasetoreliefvalvesettings: 3000 PSI (207 bar) in both forward and reverse.
If pressure exceeds the relief setting, oil flows through
the relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed
loop traction circuit.
The traction circuit pump and wheel motors use a small
amount of hydraulic fluid for internal lubrication. Fluid is
designed to leak across traction pump and motor components into the case drain. This leakage results in the
lossofhydraulic fluidfromtheclosedloop tractioncircuit
thatmust be replaced.The charge circuit is designedto
replace this traction circuit leakage.
The gear pump section that supplies oil to the steering
andliftcircuitsalso provides charge circuit oil.Thisgear
pump is driven directly off the piston (traction) pump. It
provides a constant supply of charge oil to the traction
circuit to make up for oil that is lost due to internal leakage in the traction pump and wheel motors.
Charge pump flow is directed to the low pressure side
of the closed loop traction circuit. Charge circuit pressure (110 to 150 PSI / 7.6 to 10.3 bar) is maintained by
the charge relief valve that is attached to the piston
pump back plate.
The functional control lever on TriFlex Greensmaster
machines has positions for neutral, mow and transport.
When the functional control lever is in the neutral position,thetraction pedal is secured intheneutralposition.
The mow position allows traction pedal inputs that are
appropriateformowspeedsby limitingthemovementof
the piston pump swash plate. The transport position allows full movement of the traction pedal so complete
pump swash rotation is possible.
Forward
The piston (traction) pump is driven directly by the engine. The hydraulic traction circuit acts essentially as a
closed loop. Taking its suction directly from the return
sideofthewheelmotorsofthetractioncircuit,thepiston
pump supplies oil flow to the wheel motors through the
supply side of the traction circuit.
Withtheenginerunningandtractionpedalintheneutral
position, the piston pump supplies no flow to the wheel
motors. When the traction pedal is pressed to the forward position, the linkage from the pedal positions the
swash plate in the piston pump so oil flows out the top
port of the pump. Oil flow out of the top port goes to the
wheel motors and turns them in the forward direction.
Oilflowingout of the wheelmotorsreturns to the bottom
portof the piston pump and is continuously pumpedout
the top port.
Reverse
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in reverse as it does in the forward direction. However, the
flow through the circuit is reversed.
Withtheenginerunningandtractionpedalintheneutral
position, the piston pump supplies no flow to the wheel
motors. When the traction pedal is pressed to the reverse position, the linkage from the pedal positions the
swash plate in the piston pump so oil flows out the bottomportofthepump. Oilflowoutofthebottomportgoes
tothewheel motors and turnstheminthe reverse direction.
Oilflowingoutofthewheel motors returns to thetopport
of the piston pump and is continuously pumped out the
bottom port.
Traction Circuit Cooling
Thepiston pump includesa shuttle valvethat bleeds off
asmallamountofhydraulicfluidforcoolingof theclosed
looptraction circuit. Thisvalve allows asmall amount of
hydraulic oil to pass from the low pressure side of the
traction circuit while operating the traction unit in either
direction. A relief valve in the piston pump back plate
prevents shuttle valve bleed off until the relief valve
opens(70to 100 PSI / 4.9to6.8 bar). The chargecircuit
replenishesoilthatisbledfromthetractioncircuitbythe
shuttle valve.
NOTE: Theshuttlevalveassemblyislocatedin the piston pump back plate. Access to the shuttle valve requires removal of the back plate from the piston pump.
The tandem gear pump is directly coupled to the piston
(traction) pump. The rear gear pump section supplies
hydraulic flow for the steering circuit (priority flow), for
raisingandloweringthecuttingunits and for the traction
chargecircuit. The gearpump takes its suctionfrom the
hydraulic reservoir. Maximum circuit pressure of 1160
PSI (80 bar) is limited by the relief valve located in the
power steering valve.
The lift controlmanifold includes four (4) electrically operatedsolenoidvalves.SolenoidvalveS1causescircuit
flow to by--pass the lift cylinders when de--energized
anddirects flow tothe cylinders whenenergized. Directionalsolenoid valve S2 is used to directoil flow to raise
the cutting units when de--energized and lower them
whenenergized.Whenenergized,solenoid valve S3 allows hydraulic flow to and from the front cutting unit lift
cylinders (#2 and #3) and prevents oil passage to and
from the lift cylinders when de--energized. When energized, solenoid valve S4 allows hydraulic flow to and
fromthecentercutting unit liftcylinder(#1)andprevents
oil passage to and from the lift cylinder when de--energized.
The console arm joystick is used to raise and lower the
cutting units. The joystick acts as an input to the TEC
controller to send electrical outputs to appropriate lift
control manifold solenoid coils in order to raise or lower
the cutting units.
While operating the machine during conditions of not
raising or lowering the cutting units (joystick in the neutral (center) position), all of the lift manifold solenoid
valves(S1,S2, S3andS4)arede--energized.Flowfrom
therear gear pump section isdirected through thepowersteeringvalve,de--energizedsolenoidvalveS1inthe
lift control manifold, oil filter and to the traction charge
circuit. Flow in excess of charge circuit needs then returns to the gear pump input.
Lower Cutting Units
When the joystick is moved to the lower position, the
Toro Electronic Controller (TEC) energizes all of the lift
controlmanifoldsolenoidvalvesforapproximatelythree
(3) seconds. This time frame ensures that the cutting
unitswillbefully loweredtoallowthemtofloat duringoperation.Thecontroller also provides ashortdelay in energizing solenoid valve S4 which delays the lowering of
the center cutting unit (#1).
Energizedliftmanifold solenoidsS1andS2directcircuit
flow toward the lift cylinders in the correct direction to
lower the cutting units. The front lift cylinders extend to
lower the cutting units while the center lift cylinder retracts to lower the cutting unit. Hydraulic pressure
againstthe lift cylinder pistons moves their shafts causingthecutting unitstolower.Atthesametime,theliftcylinderpistonspushthehydraulicfluidoutofthecylinders
toenergized solenoid valvesS3 (front liftcylinders) and
S4 (center lift cylinder). Return flow continues through
energized solenoid valve S2, to the oil filter and then to
the traction charge circuit.
Lowering speed for each of the front cutting units (#2
and #3) is controlled by a 0.028 orifice (OR2 and OR3)
intheliftcontrolmanifold. A 0.037 orifice (OR1) controls
lowering speed for the center cutting unit (#1).
If the lift cylinders should reach the end of their stroke
whiletheliftmanifoldsolenoidsarestillenergized,liftcircuit pressure will increase. The lift circuit lower relief
valve (RV) in the lift control manifold allows lift circuit
pressureto be limitedto 400 PSI(27.6 bar) whilelowering the cutting units.
NOTE: Adjustment of the lift control manifold lift circuit
lower relief valve (RV) is not recommended.
When the lift control manifold solenoid valves are de-energized by the TEC controller, spring action returns
the valves to their original position stopping lift cylinder
movement. The lift cylinder position is locked in place
sincethere is no complete circuit of flow to and from the
lift cylinders. Hydraulic flow by--passes the lift cylinders
and is routed to the oil filter and charge circuit.
The tandem gear pump is directly coupled to the piston
(traction) pump. The rear gear pump section supplies
hydraulic flow for the steering circuit (priority flow), for
raisingandloweringthecuttingunits and for the traction
chargecircuit. The gearpump takes its suctionfrom the
hydraulic reservoir. Maximum circuit pressure of 1160
PSI (80 bar) is limited by the relief valve located in the
power steering valve.
The lift controlmanifold includes four (4) electrically operatedsolenoidvalves.SolenoidvalveS1causescircuit
flow to by--pass the lift cylinders when de--energized
anddirects flow tothe cylinders whenenergized. Directionalsolenoid valve S2 is used to directoil flow to raise
the cutting units when de--energized and lower them
whenenergized.Whenenergized,solenoid valve S3 allows hydraulic flow to and from the front cutting unit lift
cylinders (#2 and #3) and prevents oil passage to and
from the lift cylinders when de--energized. When energized, solenoid valve S4 allows hydraulic flow to and
fromthecentercutting unit liftcylinder(#1)andprevents
oil passage to and from the lift cylinder when de--energized.
The console arm joystick is used to raise and lower the
cutting units. The joystick acts as an input to the TEC
controller to send electrical outputs to appropriate lift
control manifold solenoid coils in order to raise or lower
the cutting units.
While operating the machine during conditions of not
raising or lowering the cutting units (joystick in the neutral (center) position), all of the lift manifold solenoid
valves(S1,S2, S3andS4)arede--energized.Flowfrom
therear gear pump section isdirected through thepowersteeringvalve,de--energizedsolenoidvalveS1inthe
lift control manifold, oil filter and to the traction charge
circuit. Flow in excess of charge circuit needs then returns to the gear pump input.
Raise Cutting Units
Whenthejoystickismovedtotheraiseposition,theToro
Electronic Controller (TEC) energizes lift control manifold solenoid valves S1, S3 and S4 for approximately
three(3) seconds. Thistime frame ensures thatthe cutting units will be fully raised. The controller provides a
shortdelayinenergizingsolenoidvalveS4whichdelays
the raising of the center cutting unit (#1).
Energized lift manifold solenoids S1, S3 (front lift cylinders) and S4 (center lift cylinder) direct circuit flow towardthe lift cylindersin the correct direction to raise the
cutting units. The front lift cylinders retract to raise the
cuttingunitswhilethe center liftcylinderextendstoraise
the cutting unit.Hydraulic pressure against the lift cylinder pistons moves their shafts causing the cutting units
to raise. At the same time, the lift cylinder pistons push
the hydraulic fluid out of the cylinders to de--energized
solenoid valve S2. Return flow continues to the oil filter
and then to the traction charge circuit.
A0.037orifice(OR1) controls raising speed forthecentercuttingunit(#1). Flowtothefrontliftcylinders(cutting
units#2and#3)bypassestheliftmanifold orifices (OR2
and OR3) when the front cutting units are being raised.
When the lift control manifold solenoid valves are de-energized by the TEC controller, spring action returns
the valves to their original position stopping lift cylinder
movement. The lift cylinder position is locked in place
sincethere is no complete circuit of flow to and from the
lift cylinders. Hydraulic flow by--passes the lift cylinders
and is routed to the oil filter and charge circuit.
The tandem gear pump is directly coupled to the piston
(traction) pump. The front gear pump section supplies
hydraulic flow for the mow circuit. The gear pump takes
its suction from the hydraulic reservoir and supplies oil
flow to the mow control manifold and to the cutting reel
motors. Maximum circuit pressure is limited by the proportional relief valve (PRV) located in the mow control
manifold.
With the functional control lever and joystick not in the
mowposition,proportionalreliefvalve (PRV)inthemow
control manifold is de--energized. The de--energized
PRVroutesgearpump flow directly tothehydraulicreservoir by--passing the cutting reel motors. Additionally,
manifold pressure reducing valve (PORV) will remain
seatedto prevent thereel motors (and reels)from rotating.
Mow
With the engine running, the functional control lever in
MOWandthejoystickmovedtothe reels lower position,
proportional relief valve (PRV) is energized by the TEC
controller.In the energized position, this valve directs oil
flow toward the reel motors and also functions as the
mow circuit relief valve.
Oilflow from manifold portP flows through theflow control valve (FC) used to adjust reel speed. Flow across
the flow control valve is pressure compensated by the
logic cartridge valve (LC). The logic cartridge valve
maintains a pressure differential of 75 PSI (5.2 bar)
across the speed control valve. Any excess flow above
the speed control valve setting is by--passed to the reservoirthroughthe logiccartridgevalve.Withthebacklap
valve(MV)inthemow position, oil flows through the
backlapvalve,outmanifold port(M1)andtothereelmotors that are connected in series. Oil flows through the
left (#2), right (#3) and then center reel motor (#1) as it
turns the motors in the mow direction.
When in the mow position, mow circuit pressure will
cause the mow control manifold pilot piston to shift and
open the pressure reducing valve (PORV). The shifted
pressurereducing valve allows circuitoil to returntothe
reservoir through the manifold block.
Backlap
Backlapping operation is the same as mowing operation, except forthe position of the backlap valve (MV) in
themowcontrolmanifold.Whenthebacklapvalve(MV)
is in the backlap position, oil flows through the center
(#1),right(#3)andthen left (#2) reelmotorasitturnsthe
motors in the backlap direction.
The tandem gear pump is directly coupled to the piston
(traction) pump. The rear gear pump section supplies
hydraulic flow for the steering circuit (priority flow), for
raisingandloweringthecuttingunits and for the traction
chargecircuit. The gearpump takes its suctionfrom the
hydraulic reservoir. Maximum circuit pressure of 1160
PSI (80 bar) is limited by the relief valve located in the
power steering valve.
With the steering wheel in the neutral position (not
turned) and the engine running, the power steering
valvespoolisin the center position. Gear pumpflowenters the power steering valve at port (P) and goes
through the spool valve, by--passing the steering cylinder. Flow leaves the steering valve from port (E) to be
availablefortheraise/lowerandtractioncharge circuits.
Right Turn
When a right turn is made with the engine running, the
turning of the steering wheel positions the power steeringvalvespool so that gear pumpflowgoes through the
top of thespool. Flow entering the power steering valve
at port (P) goes through the spool and is routed to two
places. First, most of the flow through the valve is by-passedoutport(E)andbecomesavailablefortheraise/
lower and traction charge circuits. Second, the
remainder of the flow is drawn through the steering
valverotarymeter and out steeringvalveport (R). Pressure retracts the steering cylinder for a right turn. The
rotary meter ensures that the oil flow to the cylinder is
proportionalto the amount ofthe turning on the steering
wheel.Fluid leaving the cylinder flows back throughthe
spool valve, out steering valve port (T) and then to the
traction charge circuit.
The power steering valve returns to the neutral position
when turning is complete.
Left Turn
When a left turn is made with the engine running, the
turning of the steering wheel positions the power steeringvalvespool so that gear pumpflowgoes through the
bottom of the spool. Flow entering the power steering
valveat port (P) goes through the spooland is routed to
two places. First, most of the flow through the valve is
by--passed out port (E) and becomes available for the
raise/lowerand traction chargecircuits. Second, the remainder of the flow is drawn through the steering valve
rotary meter and out steering valve port (L). Pressure
extends the steering cylinder for a left turn. The rotary
meter ensures that the oil flow to the cylinder is proportionaltotheamountoftheturningonthesteeringwheel.
Fluid leaving the cylinder flows back through the spool
valve,outsteering valve port (T) andthento the traction
charge circuit.
The power steering valve returns to the neutral position
when turning is complete.

Tools section in this Chapter).
IMPORTANT: All obvious areas such as oil supply,
filter, binding linkages, loose fasteners, improper
adjustments, solenoid valve operation or electrical
connectionsmustbe checkedbeforeassumingthat
ahydrauliccomponentis the sourceoftheproblem.
WARNING
Beforedisconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system
must be relieved and all rotating machine parts
must be stopped. See Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure in the General Information section.
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended pressure (PSI) rating as listed in test procedures
couldresultindamage to thegaugeandpossible
personal injury from leaking hot oil.
Precautions for Hydraulic Testing
1. Clean machine thoroughly before disconnecting or
disassemblinganyhydrauliccomponents.Alwayskeep
in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hydraulic equipment. Contamination will cause excessive
wear of components.
2. To prevent hydraulic systemcontamination,putmetal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left open or exposed during testing or removal of components.
3. Theenginemust be in good operating condition.Enginespeed will affecttestaccuracy.Check pumpspeed
with a phototac when performing hydraulic tests.
4. When using tester with pressure and flow capabilities,theinletandtheoutlet hoses must be properlyconnected and not reversed to prevent damage to the
hydraulic tester or other components.
5. When using tester with pressure and flow capabilities, completely open load valve in the hydraulic tester
to minimize the possibility of damaging components.
6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make
sure that they are not cross--threaded before tightening
them with a wrench.
7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine
partsfromcontactinganddamagingthehosesortester.
CAUTION
All testing should be performed by two (2)
people.Onepersonshouldbe in the seattooperate the machine and the other should monitor
testing equipment and record test results.
WARNING
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Do not use hands to search for leaks;
use paper or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If
fluidisinjectedinto theskin,itmustbesurgicallyremoved within a few hoursby a doctor familiar with this type of injury.Gangrene may result
from such an injury.
8. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. After connecting test equipment, make sure tank is full.
9. Check control linkages for improper adjustment,
binding or broken parts.
10.All hydraulic testsshouldbe made with thehydraulic
oil at normal operating temperature.
11.Record the results of all performed hydraulic tests.
Which Hydraulic Tests Are Necessary?
Before beginning any hydraulic test, identify if the problemisrelatedtothetraction circuit, mowcircuit,lift/lower
circuit or steering circuit. Once the faulty system has
been identified, perform tests that relate to that circuit.
1. Use the Hydraulic Schematic, Hydraulic Flow Diagrams and the Troubleshooting section found in this
Chapterto assist in hydraulicproblemidentification and
solution.
2. Hydraulic system problems (e.g. low hydraulic oil
level, contaminated oil, incorrect engine speed) will affect the entire hydraulic system.
3. For traction related problems (e.g. machine will not
goupanincline),considerperformingone ormoreofthe
following tests:
A. Charge Relief Valve Pressure.
B. Piston (Traction) Pump Flow.
C. Wheel Motor Efficiency.
NOTE: The piston pump used on Greensmaster TriFlexmachinesisequippedwithreliefvalves for both the
forward and reverse direction. Due to engine output, it
is unlikely that traction pressure will reach relief valve
settings. If, however, a piston pump relief valve is leaking or otherwise faulty, traction performance would be
affected.
4. For problems with the steering and lift/lower circuit,
consider performing one or more of the following tests:
A. Steering/Lift Relief Valve Pressure.
B. Lower Cutting Units Relief Valve (RV) Pressure.
C. Steering/Lift Circuit Gear Pump Flow.
5. For issues withthe mow circuit,consider performing
one or more of the following tests:
A. Mow Circuit Gear Pump Flow.
B. Mow Circuit Relief Valve Pressure.
C. Reel Motor Case Drain Flow.

E. If charge pressure is good under no load, but
drops below specification when under traction load,
the piston (traction) pump and/or wheel motors
shouldbe suspected of wear andinefficiency.When
the pump and/or traction motor(s) are worn or damaged,thechargepumpis not able to keep upwithinternalleakageintractioncircuitcomponents.Further
