The GROUNDSMASTERR 3000 and 3000-D was
tested and certified by TORO for compliance with the
B71.4—1990 specifications of the American National
Standards Institute. Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design
and configuration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of this manual
before starting and operating the machine. Become familiar with all controls and know how to stop quickly. A
free replacement manual is available by sending complete Model and Serial Numbers to:
The Toro Company
8111 Lyndale Avenue South
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55420–1196.
Use the Model and Serial Number when referring to your
machine. If you have questions about this Service
Manual, please contact:
The Toro Company

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55420.
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY
OR DEA TH, COMPL Y WITH THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
3. Never operate machine when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
4. Remove all debris or other objects that might be
picked up and thrown by cutter blades or fast moving
components from other attached implements. Keep all
bystanders away from the operating area.
5. Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a
shield, safety device, or decal is defective or damaged,
repair or replace it before operation is commenced.
Also, tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to insure
machine is in safe operating condition.
6. Do not wear loose–fitting clothing because it could
get caught in moving parts. Always wear long pants and
substantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses, safety
shoes, and a helmet is advisable and required by some
local ordinances and insurance regulations.
2. Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate the machine without proper
instruction. Only trained operators, skilled in slope operation and who have read this manual should operate
this machine.

Safety
7. Check interlock switches daily for proper operation.
Do not rely entirely on safety switches -shut off engine
before getting off seat. If a switch fails, replace it before
operating the machine. The interlock system is for your
protection, so do not bypass it. Replace all interlock
switches every two years. Interlock switches should be
adjusted so:
A. Engine cannot be started unless traction pedal
is released (neutral position).
B. Engine stops if operator gets off seat when
traction pedal is depressed.
C. PTO disengages if operator gets off seat when
PTO lever is ENGAGED (on position).
8. Fill fuel tank with diesel fuel before starting the en-
gine. Avoid spilling any fuel. Since diesel fuel is flammable, handle it carefully.
A. Use an approved fuel container.
B. Do not fill fuel tank when engine is hot or
running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and up to about one
inch (25 mm) from the top of the tank, not
the filler neck.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
9. Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operat-
ing the machine.
10. Always use seat belt and ROPS together. Make
sure seat is latched.
11. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral.
C. After engine is started, release parking brake
and keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly. Shut engine
off and adjust until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
12. Do not run the engine in a confined area without ad-
equate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
13. Maximum seating capacity is one person. There-
fore, never carry passengers.
14. This traction unit is intended to be used with an im-
plement. Refer to implement operator’s manual for
sound and vibration information and rear weight requirements.
15. Check carefully for overhead clearances before
driving under any objects.
While Operating
16. Using the machine demands the operator’s com-
plete attention. To prevent loss of control:
A. Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Drive slowly.
C. Avoid sudden stops and starts.
D. Look behind machine before backing up.
E. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
F. Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek,
or hazard.
G. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on a hillside.
H. The cutting deck must be lowered when going
down slopes for steering control.
17. Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive
on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may
cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
18. Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop sud-
denly when traversing slopes or when traveling uphill or
downhill.
19. If engine stalls or machine loses headway and can-
not make it to the top of a slope, do not turn machine
around. Always back slowly straight down the slope.
20. This product is designed to drive objects into the
ground where they lose energy quickly in grassy areas.
However, don’t take an injury risk!!
appears unexpectedly in or near the mowing area,
STOP MOWING. Careless operation, combined with
terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned
guards, can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume mowing until area is cleared.
21. Never raise the cutting unit or other attached imple-
ment while the blades or other parts are rotating.
22. If cutting blades or other implement components
strike a solid object or the machine vibrates abnormally,
disengage PTO, move throttle to SLOW, set parking
brake, and shut engine off. Remove key from switch to
prevent possibility of accidental starting. Check cutting
unit or other implement and traction unit for damage and
defective parts. Repair any damage before restarting
the engine and operating the implement or cutting unit.
Assure cutting unit blades are in good condition and
blade bolts are torqued to proper specifications (See
Cutting Deck Operator’s Manual).
23. To stop machine, remove foot from traction pedal
and use brakes. Gradually reversing the traction pedal
can provide additional braking.
When a person or pet
Safety

Groundsmaster 3000/3000–D
24. Do not touch engine, muffler, or radiator while en-
gine is running or soon after it has stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause a burn.
25. Lower the cutting unit or other attached implement
to the ground and remove key from switch whenever
machine is left unattended.
Maintenance
26. Before getting off the seat:
A. Move traction pedal to neutral position and remove foot from pedal.
B. Set the parking brake and disengage the PTO.
C. Shut the engine off and remove key from igni-
tion switch. Wait for all movement to stop before
getting off the seat.
Safety
27. Remove key from ignition switch to prevent acci-
dental starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting,
or storing the machine.
28. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de-
sired, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.
29. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free
of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations
of dirt. Never wash a warm engine or electrical connections with water.
30. If the cutting unit discharge area ever plugs, disen-
gage PTO and shut engine off before removing the obstruction.
31. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check attachment
mounting hardware and all cutting unit blade mounting
bolts frequently to assure they are torqued to proper
specifications.
32. Periodically inspect the roll bar and roll bar mount-
ing. Repair, as necessary. Do not weld, cut, drill, or
modify roll bar in any manner.
33. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
34. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
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 skin and do serious damage. If
fluid is ejected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
35. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be relieved by stopping engine and lowering implement to the
ground.
36. If the engine must be running to perform mainte-
nance or an adjustment, keep clear of PTO shaft, cutting
unit blades, and other moving parts.
37. Do not overspeed the engine by changing the gov-
ernor settings. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an
Authorized TORO Distributor check maximum engine
speed with a tachometer.
38. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or ad-
ding oil to the crankcase.
39. At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed
to safety standards in effect for riding mowers. To ensure
optimum performance and continued safety certification
of the machine, use genuine TORO replacement parts
and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers may result in non–conformance with the safety standards, and the warranty may
be voided.

Governor Adjustment
1. With engine shut off, move throttle control to FAST
position and open hood. Check between the throttle arm
and the stop on the carburetor base to make sure there
is 1/32” (0.8 mm). If gap is not correct, adjust throttle rod
by turning ball joint ends until gap is 1/32” (0.8 mm). If
gap is correct, proceed to step 2.
WARNING
Engine must be running so final adjustment of the governor can be performed.
guard against possible personal
To
injury, engage parking brake and keep
hands, feet, face and other parts of the
body away from fan or other moving
parts.
2. Start engine and move throttle to SLOW position.
Allow engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
3. Rotate throttle arm closed until it contacts stop.
9. Bump the throttle lever with your hand so engine
speeds up momentarily. If governor is working properly,
engine speed should return to normal within one or two
surges of the governor. More than two surges of the governor usually indicates than the anti–surge screw must
be turned in slightly more than it is. When adjustment is
correct, lock jam nut against governor body.
10. Check low and high idle speed to be sure there is no
change from the initial setting. If high idle speed has increased, anti–surge has been turned into the governor
too far and it must be backed out. Then repeat the entire
adjustment procedure.
Note: If the throttle control on the instrument panel will
not stay in the FAST position during operation, remove
the panel cover and tighten the nut at base of throttle lever assembly.

4. Check idle speed and adjust carburetor idle speed
screw if necessary to attain 1350 +
50 rpm.
5. Release throttle arm, loosen jam nut on governor
low idle speed screw and adjust it to attain 1500 + 100
rpm.
6. Slowly move throttle to FAST position until engine
speed reaches 3150 +
100 rpm. Shut off engine. Adjust
high idle stop screw until it contacts speed control lever.
IMPORT ANT : Do not over speed the engine because
the transmission could be damaged.
7. Move throttle rapidly from SLOW to FAST. The engine should not surge. if engine surges, proceed to step
8.
8. Check V–belts from engine to governor pulley and
assure they are tight. If belts are loose, the engine will
surge. If belts are tensioned properly, loosen jam nut
that retains the anti–surge screw. Rotate screw clockwise 1/8 turn at a time until surging stops. Should governor continue to surge, check the following:
A. Carburetor too rich or too lean.
B. Binding in throttle linkage.
C. Governor worn internally.
IMPORTANT: Never rotate anti–surge screw in too
far so that speed of engine increases.

Fuel System Service
Fuel Tank
Drain and clean fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or
yearly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean tank
if fuel system becomes contaminated or if machine is to
be stored for an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush
out the tank.
Fuel Lines and Connections
Check lines and connections every 400 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first. Inspect for deterioration, damage, or loose connections.
DANGER
Because gasoline is flammable, caution must
be used when storing or handling it. Do not fill
fuel tank while engine is running, hot, or when
machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame
source many feet away . DO NOT SMOKE while
filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of
an explosion. Always fill fuel tank outside and
wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting
engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline and fill tank to about 1 inch (25
mm) below the filler neck. Store gasoline in a
clean, safety–approved container and keep
the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well–ventilated place, never in an
enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To
assure volatility, do not buy more than a 6
month supply. Gasoline is a fuel for internal
combustion engines; therefore, do not use it
for any other purpose. Since many children
like the smell of gas, keep it out of their reach
because the fumes are explosive and dangerous to inhale.
Replacing Fuel Filter (Fig. 14)
Replace the fuel filter after every 400 hours of operation
or yearly, whichever comes first.
1. Disconnect elbow fitting from rear of fuel filter.
2. Disconnect front of filter from elbow fitting.
3. Install new filter and connect fittings. Start engine
and check for leaks.

Replacing Spark Plugs
Change spark plugs after every 400 operating hours to
assure proper engine performance and reduce exhaust
emission level.
Correct spark plug to use is a Motorcraft–AGSF22C or
AGRF22 or equivalent.
Recommended air gap is .040” (1.016 mm).
Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; however,
the plug should be removed and checked whenever the
engine malfunctions.
1. Clean area around spark plugs so foreign matter
cannot fall into cylinder when spark plug is removed.
2. Pull spark plug wires off spark plugs and remove
plugs from cylinder head.
Check Governor Oil Level
The governor is shipped with oil in it, but the level of oil
must be checked after every 250 hours of operation.
1. Position machine on level surface and shut engine
off.
2. Disengage hood latch and open the hood.
3. Check condition of side electrode, center electrode,
and center electrode insulator to assure there is no damage.
IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled, dirty or otherwise
malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not
sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a
wire brush because grit may eventually release
from the plug and fall into the cylinder. The result is
usually a damaged engine.
4. Set air gap between center and side of electrodes at
.040” (1.016 mm). Install correctly gapped spark plug
and tighten plug to 11–15 ft–lb. If torque wrench is not
used, tighten plug firmly.
5. Install spark plug wires.
Engine
Ford Gasoline
3. Clean area around check plug on governor.
4. Remove check plug. Oil level must be up to bottom
of filler hole. If oil level is low, remove oil fill plug and add
same oil that is being used in engine. When oil is at point
of overflowing out of check plug hole, install the check
plug and fill plug.

Hydraulic Hoses
Hydraulic hoses are subject to extreme conditions such
as, pressure differentials during operation and exposure
to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage conditions or mishandling during operation or maintenance.
These conditions can cause damage or premature deterioration. Some hoses are more susceptible to these
conditions than others. Inspect the hoses frequently for
signs of deterioration or damage.
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 on the hose.
Use two wrenches; one to hold the hose straight and one
to tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting.
Hydraulic Fitting Installation
O–Ring Face Seal
1. Make sure both threads and sealing surfaces are free
of burrs, nicks, scratches, or any foreign material.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on hydraulic system, all pressure in system
must be relieved by stopping the engine and
lowering or supporting the box and/or other
attachment.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or 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 do serious
damage. If fluid is injected into the skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.

2. Make sure the O–ring is installed and properly seated
in the groove. It is recommended that the O–ring be replaced any time the connection is opened.
3. Lubricate the O–ring with a light coating of oil.
4. Put the tube and nut squarely into position on the face
seal end of the fitting and tighten the nut until finger tight.
5. Mark the nut and fitting body. Hold the body with a
wrench. Use another wrench to tighten the nut to the correct flats from finger tight (F.F.F.T.). The markings on the
nut and fitting body will verify that the connection has
been tightened.
1. Make sure both threads and sealing surfaces are free
of burrs, nicks, scratches, or any foreign material.
2. Always replace the O–ring seal when this type of fitting shows signs of leakage.
3. Lubricate the O–ring with a light coating of oil.

Testing
The most effective method for isolating problems in the
hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment
such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits
during various operational checks. (See the Special
Tools section in this Chapter.)
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended
pressure (psi) rating as listed in test procedures could result in damage to gauge and
possible personal injury from leaking hot oil.
Before Performing Hydraulic Tests
All obvious areas such as oil supply, filter, binding linkage, loose fasteners, or improper adjustments must be
checked before assuming that a hydraulic component is
the source of the problem being experienced.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the
system must be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering or supporting the cutting
units or other implements.
1. Thoroughly clean the machine before disconnecting
or disassembling any hydraulic components. Always
keep in mind the need for cleanliness when working on
hydraulic equipment.
2. Put caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left open or
exposed during testing or removal of components.
3. The engine must be in good operating condition. Use
a tachometer when making a hydraulic test. Engine
speed can affect the accuracy of the tester readings.
4. To prevent damage to tester or components, the inlet
and the outlet hoses must be properly connected, and
not reversed (tester with pressure and flow capabilities).
5. To minimize the possibility of damaging components,
completely open load valve in hydraulic tester (when using tester with pressure and flow capabilities).
6. Install fittings finger tight, far enough to insure that
they are not cross–threaded, before tightening with a
wrench.
7. Position the tester hoses so that rotating machine
parts will not make contact with them and result in hose
or tester damage.
8. Check the oil level in the reservoir.
9. Check the control linkage for improper adjustment,
binding or broken parts.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or 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 skin and do serious damage. If fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene may result.
10. All hydraulic tests should be made with the hydraulic
oil at normal operating temperature.

Make sure dirt or paint particles do not fall into the
open port.
Charge Pressure Test
NOTE: See Sauer–Sundstrand IHT Service Manual for
more information.
Use a 500 or 1,000 PSI (35 or 70 Bar) test gauge.
Specification: 80 to 130 PSI (5.5 to 9 Bar)
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Remove the plug from the charge pressure port and
install a 500 or 1,000 PSI (35 or 70 Bar) pressure gauge
with extension hose.
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Take pressure reading with machine stationary. Also take a pressure reading while operating the
machine in forward and reverse. To test in forward and
reverse, engage the brakes and push the traction pedal
forward, then reverse.
1
Figure 11
1. Charge pressure port
NOTE: When you move the traction pedal to create
pressure, move it a short distance first and wait for a
change in sound before moving the pedal further. The
change in sound indicates that the easy ride valves have
closed.
If pressure is good under no load, but drops below specification when under traction load, the piston pump and
motor should be suspected of wear and inefficiency.
When the pump and/or motor is worn or damaged the
charge pump is not able to supply enough oil to keep up
with internal leakage in the closed loop circuit.
Charge Pressure Priority Valve Test
While checking charge pressure, check the the operation of the charge priority valve. Rotate the steering
wheel to create back–pressure while observing the
gauge. The gauge should not have a significant pressure increase during steering operation.

Forward Traction Test
NOTE: See Sauer–Sundstrand IHT Service Manual for
more information.
Use a 10,000 PSI (700 Bar) gauge.
Specification: 6,200 PSI (428 Bar) maximum
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Remove the plug from the forward traction pressure
port and install a 10,000 PSI (700 Bar) pressure gauge
with extension hose.
4. On 4WD machines, raise the implement and engage
the transport switch so the IHT operates with less torque
to the wheels. Engage the parking brake, and run the engine at full speed. Slowly push the traction pedal forward
and listen for engagement of the easy ride valve. Continue to push the traction pedal and read the gauge.
NOTE: When you move the traction pedal to create
pressure, move it a short distance first and wait for a
change in sound before moving the pedal further. The
change in sound indicates that the easy ride valve has
closed.

Implement Relief Pressure Test
NOTE: See Sauer–Sundstrand IHT Service Manual for
more information.
Use a 5,000 PSI (350 Bar) test gauge.
Specification:1,000 to 1,100 PSI (69 to 76 Bar)
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Install a 5,000 PSI (350 Bar) pressure gauge with
quick connect adapter on the test port.
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Pull back on the lift lever until the implement is fully raised. Continue holding the lift lever back
to cause the relief valve to open, then read the gauge.
NOTE: Normal location for adjusting implement relief
pressure is on the top of the IHT. If the machine is
equipped with Model 30726 Hydraulic Kit, the original
valve is permanently closed, and a new implement relief
valve is installed in the hydraulic manifold. If the additional valve is present, adjust relief pressure at the new
location only.
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Install a 500 or 1,000 PSI (35 or 70 Bar) pressure
gauge with quick connect adapter on the test port.
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Read the gauge. Do not raise the implement when testing counterbalance pressure. Move the
lift lever forward to make sure the lift system is in the
“float” position.

Steering Circuit Test
The steering and implement lift circuits are connected in
series. If the implement lift operates correctly, the steering valve has adequate flow and pressure.
Cylinder Test
This test checks the steering cylinder for internal
bypass, and assumes that the steering valve is working
correctly. The Steering Valve Test will determine if the
steering valve is faulty.
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Install a tee fitting and a 5,000 PSI (350 Bar) test
gauge onto the right side steering cylinder fitting. Use
parts from TOR4079 test fitting kit or the following Toro
parts:
Cap (340–117)
Plug (340–116)
Tee (340–115)
Quick connect fitting (86–5480)
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Rotate the steering wheel counterclockwise until the cylinder reaches the end of its travel. Continue rotating the steering wheel (without excessive
force) while watching the pressure gauge. Pressure
should be 1,100 PSI (76 Bar). If cylinder does not move,
pressure is very low, or the steering wheel rotates easily,
the internal seal may be bypassing in the cylinder.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Disconnect the tee from the cylinder. Install a cap on
the cylinder and a plug on the open tee port.
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Gently rotate the steering wheel while
observing the pressure gauge. If the pressure now
increases to 1,100 PSI (76 Bar), the cylinder has a damaged internal seal. Repair or replace the cylinder. If the
pressure does not increase by rotating in either direction, repair or replace the steering valve.

Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump Efficiency Test (Model 30726 Hydraulic Kit)
A worn or damaged pump will by–pass oil and make the
pump less efficient. Eventually, enough by–passing will
occur to cause the cutting units to to stall in heavy cutting
conditions. Continued operation with a worn, inefficient
pump can generate a lot of heat and cause damage to
seals and other components in the hydraulic system.
Use a tester with pressure and flow capabilities.

Specification:
Minimum 12 GPM (45 liter/min.) at 2,500 PSI (173 Bar)
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting unit, engage parking brake and stop the
engine.
3. Disconnect the large pressure hose from the coupler
at the pump. Disconnect the large return hose from the
coupler at the return filter. Install the tester between the
pump outlet and filter inlet.
IMPORT ANT : Make sure the oil flow indicator on the
flow meter shows that the oil will flow from the
pump, through the tester and into the return filter.
Make sure the flow control valve is open before
starting the engine.
4. Start the engine and move the throttle control all the
way forward. Engage the PTO.
5. Slowly close the flow control valve until the gauge
reads 2,500 PSI (173 Bar). Read the flow meter. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and open the flow control
valve on the tester. If flow is less than 12 GPM (45 liter/
min.) the pump is inefficient and should be repaired or
replaced.
NOTE: The pump has an integral relief valve that is set
at 3,625 PSI (250 Bar). This relief valve protects the
pump from shock stress. If you cannot reach 2,500 PSI
(173 Bar) when closing the flow control valve on the
tester, this relief valve may be stuck open. This could be
caused by debris or contamination in the hydraulic system.

Change Hydraulic Oil and Filter
The hydraulic system oil and filter must be changed initially at 200 hours and thereafter every 800 hours of operation or seasonally, whichever comes first. NOTE:
Change oil and filters every 400 hours if equipped with
Model 30726 Hydraulic Kit. The hydraulic system is designed to operate on anti–wear hydraulic fluid. The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 12 U.S. quarts (11.4 liters) of Mobil 424
hydraulic fluid (See Check Hydraulic Oil in this section
for recommended fluids). Check level of hydraulic
fluid before engine is first started and daily thereafter.
1. Start engine, park machine on a level surface, lower
implement to the shop floor, set the parking brake, and
shut engine off.
2. Clean area around dipstick cap and remove cap
from axle filler tube.
3. To ease access to axle housing drain plug, implement may be removed from traction unit.
4. Remove drain plug from axle housing and allow oil
to flow into drain pan.
5. Clean area around hydraulic oil filter and remove filter. NOTE: Also replace filter for Model 30726 Hydraulic
Kit.
6. Lubricate new filter seal and install filter.
7. Install drain plug in axle housing.
8. Through axle filler tube, fill axle to proper level with
Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid. Install dipstick cap.
9. Start and run the engine at idle speed for about two
minutes, raise and lower implement and turn the steering wheel lock to lock to purge air trapped in the system.
Shut the engine off.
10. Let machine set for two additional minutes, then remove dipstick and check oil level in axle. If level is low,
add oil until level matches groove in dipstick. If level is
too high, remove drain plug and drain oil until oil level
matches Full mark on dipstick.
