General Safety Instructions1 -- 1..................
The GROUNDSMASTER 3505--D was tested and certified by TORO for compliance with existing standards
and specifications as identified in the Operator’s Manual. Although hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent partially 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 by the operator or owner of the machine
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for any injury,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Chapter 1
Safety
Safety
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
1. Make sure operators are thoroughly trained and familiar with the Operator’s Manual, Operator’s Video and
all the operating and safety decals on the machine.
2. Be sure to establish your own special procedures
and work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g.
slopes too steep for machine operation). Survey mow-
ing site completely to determine which hills can be
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Become familiar with the controls and know how to stop the
machine and engine quickly. Copies of the Operator’s
Manual are available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible or
damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to ensure machine is in safe operating condition.
operated on safely. When performing this site survey,
always use common sense and take into consideration
the turf condition and the rollover risk. To perform a site
survey, follow the procedure outlined in the Traction Unit
Operator’s Manual. THE MAXIMUM SIDE HILL
ANGLE SHOULD NOT BE GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES.
3. Assure that operator’s presence controls, safety
switches and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless these items are
functioning properly.
Groundsmaster 3505--DPage 1 -- 1Safety

4. Since fuel is highly flammable, handle it carefully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while engine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
While Operating
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. Replace fuel tank and fuel container caps securely after refueling machine.
F. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of the spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated. Clean up any spilled fuel.
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the machine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
P.T.O. switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust traction pedal linkage until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released (see Traction
Unit Operator’s Manual).
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. The slope angle at which the machine will tip is dependent on many factors. Among these are mowing
conditions such as wet or undulating turf, speed (especially in turns), tire pressure and operator experience. At
side hill angles of 10 degrees or less, the risk of a rollover
is low. As the slope angle increases to a recommended
maximum limit of 15 degrees, the risk of a rollover increases to a moderate level. DO NOT EXCEED A 15
DEGREE SIDE HILL ANGLE BECAUSE THE RISK OF
A ROLLOVER AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IS
VERY HIGH.
5. Do not touch engine, radiator or exhaust system
while engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These
areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
6. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Lower and disengage cutting decks and wait for
all movement to stop.
C. Set parking brake.
D. Stop engine and remove key from ignition switch.
7. Anytime the machine is parked (short or long term),
the cutting decks should be lowered to the ground. This
relieves pressure from the lift circuit and eliminates the
risk of a cutting deck accidentally lowering to the ground.
8. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or
blocked.

Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments, lower cutting decks, stop engine, set parking brake and remove
key from the switch.
2. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
3. Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, such as near a water heater or furnace.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line c onnectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
5. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks in hydraulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by lowering the cutting decks to the ground, stopping the engine and then using all of the hydraulic
controls (depressing the traction pedal, turning the
steering wheel in both directions and energizing the
deck solenoid with the engine not running).
7. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. Use care when checking or servicing the cutting
deck. Wear gloves and use caution when servicing it.
9. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on machine frequently.
10.If engine must be running to perform maintenance or
to make an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and
other parts of the body away from the cutting decks and
other moving parts. Keep bystanders away.
11. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
setting. To assure safety and accuracy,check maximum
engine speed with a tachometer.
12.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
crankcase.
13.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine.
Disconnect negative battery cable first and positive
cable last. If battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
Reconnect positive cable first and negative cable last.
14.Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your
face, eyes and clothing when working with a battery.
15.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from the battery.
16.If welding on the machine is necessary, disconnect
the negative battery cable to prevent electrical system
damage.
17.At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed
to the safety standards for riding mowers. To assure 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.
18.When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use correct blocks, hoists and jacks.
Make sure machine is parked on a solid level floor such
as a concrete floor. Prior to raising the machine, remove
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block
wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood blocks to support
the raised machine. If the machine is not properly supported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may move
or fall, which may result in personal injury (see Jacking
Instructions in this chapter).

Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
following tables. For critical applications, as determined
by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that
is unique to the application is clearly identified and specified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners which
do not have a s pecific requirement identified in this Service Manual. The following factors should be considered
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use
of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication
on the fastener, presence of a prevailing torque feature
(e.g. Nylock nut), hardness of the surface underneath
the fastener’shead or similar condition which affects the
installation.
Fastener Identification
As noted in the following tables, torque values should be
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.
Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until
the lines match up.

General Information
Hydraulic Hoses
Hydraulic hoses are s ubject 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; hold the hose in position with one
wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting
with the second wrench.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in
system (see Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure). Stop engine; lower or support cutting
units and/or other attachment(s).
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 cause serious injury. 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. Gangrene may
result from such an injury.

o
to open the by--pass valve. This open
position should be horizontal (Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: Do not tow (or push) the machine fast er than 2 to 3 mph because the drive system may be
damaged. If machine must be moved a considerable
distance (more than a few feet), transport it on a
truck or trailer.
2. Slowly tow (or push) machine.
3. Before starting engine, close by--pass valve by rotating it 90
o
. This closed position should be vertical (Fig. 7).

Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
Groundsmaster 3505--D hydraulic system, all pressure
in the hydraulic system must be relieved. Park machine
on a level surface with the cutting units lowered and off.
Turn key switch to OFF and allow engine to stop.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, move
traction lever to both forward and reverse directions. To
relieve hydraulic pressure in steering and lift circuits, rotate steering wheel in both directions.
To relieve cutting unit system pressure, turn key switch
to ON (engine not running). Move PTO switch to engage
which will energize the solenoid valve on hydraulic manifold to relieve circuit pressure. Move PTO switch to disengage, return key switch to OFF and remove key from
the ignition switch.
NOTE: Moving steering wheel with engine off may unseat implement relief v alve. If steering or lift circuits appear weak or inoperative after machine is returned to
service, repeat relieving hydraulic system pressure procedure.

Traction Circuit (Closed Loop) Component Failure
The Groundsmaster 3505--D traction circuit is a closed
loop system that includes the hydrostat and two (2)
wheel motors. If a component in the traction circuit
should fail, debris and contamination from the failed
component will circulate throughout the traction circuit.
This contamination can damage other components in
the circuit so it must be removed to prevent additional
component failure.
If a component failure occurs in the traction circuit, it is
critical that the entire traction circuit be disassembled,
drained and thoroughly cleaned to ensure that all contamination is removed from the circuit. If any debris remains in the traction circuit and the machine is operated,
the debris can cause additional component failure.
An additional step for removing all traction circuit contamination would be to temporarily install a high pressure hydraulic oil filter (see Special Tools)into the circuit.
The filter could be used when connecting hydraulic test
gauges in order to test traction circuit components or after replacing a failed traction circuit component (e.g. hydrostat or wheel motor). The filter will ensure that
contaminates are removed from the closed loop and
thus, do not cause additional component damage.
Once the filter has been placed in the traction circuit,
place the machine on jack stands and operate the traction circuit to allow oil flow through the circuit. With the
machine raised off the ground, the traction circuit will
have maximum oil flow at minimum pressure to minimize damage from any remaining contamination. The
filter will remove contamination from the closed loop
traction circuit during operation. Remove the filter from
the machine after contamination has been removed
from the traction circuit.
IMPORTANT: When operating the traction system with
the high pressure filter installed, make sure that flow is
always directed through the filter (e.g. do not press the
traction pedal in the reverse direction if the filter is placed
for forward direction flow). If flow is reversed, debris
from the filter will re--enter the traction circuit.

Traction Circuits
Forward
The traction circuit of the hydraulic system consists of a
hydrostat connected in a closed loop circuit to two orbital
rotor wheel motors.
The engine drives traction pump (P3) indirectly through
pulleys and a V--belt.The traction pump is a variable displacement piston pump. The traction pedal connects
through a cable to the trunnion shaft and swash plate of
the pump. With the engine running and the traction pedal in the neutral position, traction pump (P3) supplies no
flow to the wheel motors. When the traction pedal is
pressed to the forward position, the cable from the pedal
positions the swash plate in the traction pump so oil
flows out of the lower port. Oil flow out of the lower port
goes to the wheel motors and turns them in the forward
direction. Oil flowing out of the wheel motors returns to
the upper port of the hydrostat and is continuously
pumped out of the lower port.
As the load increases, forward traction circuit pressure
can increase to the relief valve setting of 3000 PSI (207
bar). If pressure exceeds the relief setting, oil flows
through the relief valve in the hydrostat to the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit.
The traction pump uses a small amount of hydraulic fluid
for internal lubrication. Fluid is designed to leak across
pump parts into the case drain. This leakage results in
the loss of hydraulic fluid from the closed loop traction
circuit that must be replenished.
A two section gear pump is directly coupled to the the hydrostat. Gear pump section (P2) supplies hydraulic flow
for maintaining 100 to 150 PSI (6.9 to 10.3 bar) to the low
pressure side of the traction circuit (charge), raising and
lowering the cutting units and operating the steering
system. The pump replenishes the closed loop traction
circuit with fluid from the hydraulic tank. The charge relief valve in the hydrostat maintains sufficient pressure
so that pump flow is guided to the low pressure side of
the traction circuit through one of two check valves.
Pump flow in excess of replenishment requirements is
relieved through the charge relief valve back to gear
pump (P1) inlet.
Reverse
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in reverse as it does in forward. However, there are a few differences in operation.
When the reverse traction pedal is depressed, the cable
from the pedal positions the swash plate in the traction
pump (P3) so oil flows out of the upper port. Oil flow out
of the upper port goes to the wheel motors and turns
them in the reverse direction. Oil flowing out of the wheel
motors returns to the lower port of the hydrostat and is
continuously pumped out of the upper port.

Cutting Unit Circuit
Mow
A two section gear pump is directly coupled to the the hydrostat which is driven by the engine. Gear pump section (P1) supplies oil flow to the cutting unit circuit
through the manifold block and to the cutting unit motors.
Solenoid valve (R1) in the manifold block is de--energized when either the PTO switch is in DISENGAGE or
the transport/mow slide is in TRANSPORT. When de-energized, solenoid valve (R1) by--passes flow from the
cutting unit motors. Flow returns to gear pump (P1) inlet.
Solenoid valve (R1) is energized when the PTO switch
is in ENGAGE and the transport/mow slide is in MOW.
When energized, solenoid valve (R1) allows gear pump
(P1) flow out manifold block port M1 to the cutting unit
motors. When solenoid v alve (R1) is energized, brake
relief cartridge (BV) is shifted (opens) to allow oil return
from the cutting unit motors.
Oil flows through the left, right and then rear cutting unit
motors as it turns the motors. The oil then returns
through manifold block port (M2), the oil cooler, the oil
filter and to gear pump (P1) inlet.
Cutting Unit Blade Braking
When the solenoid valve (R1) is de--energized as the
PTO switch is DISENGAGED, brake relief cartridge
(BV) shifts to its closed position, blocking return flow
from the deck motors and slowing the cutting blades
The inertia of the rotating cutting blades, however,effectively turns the deck motors into pumps causing an increase in pressure as the flow from the motors comes
up against the closed brake relief cartridge (BV). When
this pressure builds to approximately 1500 PSI (103
bar), brake relief c artridge (BV) opens which allows hydraulic flow to return to tank and reduces return pressure. When return pressure drops below 1500 PSI (103
bar), brake relief cartridge (BV) reseats to further slow
the cutting blades. This action repeats several times in
a very short time frame as the blades finally come to a
stop. Once the blades have stopped, brake relief cartridge (BV) remains seated to keep the deck motors
from rotating.
System
Hydraulic
If cutting unit circuit pressure exceeds relief pressure of
3200 PSI (221 bar), solenoid valve (R1) shifts to allow
circuit pressure relief.

Lift Circuit (Raise)
A two section gear pump is directly coupled to the the hydrostat which is driven by the engine. Gear pump section (P2) supplies hydraulic flow for raising and lowering
the cutting units, operating the steering system and
maintaining 100 to 150 PSI (6.9 to 10.3 bar) to the low
pressure side of the traction circuit (charge). The pump
section (P2) takes its suction from the hydraulic reservoir.
During conditions of not lifting or lowering cutting units,
flow from the gear pump (P2) is by--passed through the
steering control valve, lift control valve and hydraulic
manifold directly to the hydrostat and the charge relief
valve. Flow then returns to the hydraulic tank.
When the cutting units are to be raised, the lift control
valve is positioned by moving the lift control lever to
RAISE. Flow is directed to the cap ends of the lift cylinders. Hydraulic pressure against the cylinder pistons
moves their shafts causing the cutting units to raise. At
the same time, the pistons push the hydraulic fluid out
of the lift cylinders and back through the hydraulic manifold block to the hydrostat (charge).
When the lift control lever is released from RAISE,
spring action returns the valve to its original position and
by--passes flow back to the hydrostat (charge), stopping
lift cylinder movement. The cylinder position is locked in
place by the load holding checks in the lift control valve.

Lift Circuit (Lower)
Circuit operation for lowering the cutting units is similar
to raising them. However, pressure is relieved from the
lift cylinders and this action allows the cutting units to
lower.
During conditions of not lifting or lowering cutting units,
flow from gear pump (P2) is by--passed through the
steering control valve, lift control valve and hydraulic
manifold directly to the hydrostat (charge). Flow then returns to gear pump (P1) inlet.
When the cutting units are to be lowered, the lift control
valve is positioned by moving the lift control lever to
LOWER. Pressure from gear pump (P2) is used to shift
the pilot valve in the control valve.This shifted pilot valve
allows hydraulic pressure to relieve from the c ap end of
the lift cylinders. Flow from the cap end of the lift cylinders causes the cutting units to lower. At the same time,
the fluid relieved from the cap end of the lift cylinders
goes into the rod end of the cylinders and back through
the hydraulic manifold block to the hydrostat (charge).
When the lift control lever is released, spring action returns the valve to its original position and by--passes
flow back to the hydrostat (charge). The pilot valve remains shifted to allow the lift cylinders to float until the
lift control valve is moved to the raise position.
The logic cartridge valve (LC1) in the manifold block
maintains 250 PSI (17.2 bar) back pressure on the lift
cylinders. This counterbalance pressure transfers cutting unit weight to the machine to improve traction.

Steering Circuit
A two section gear pump is directly coupled to the the hydrostat which is driven by the engine. Gear pump section (P2) supplies hydraulic flow for operating the
steering system, raising and lowering the cutting units
and maintaining 100 to 150 PSI (6.9 to 10.3 bar) to the
low pressure side of the traction circuit (charge). The
pump section (P2) takes its suction from the hydraulic
reservoir.
With the engine running and the steering control valve
in the centered position, flow enters the steering control
valve at the IN (P) port and goes through the control
valve, by--passing the rotary meter (V1) and steering
cylinder. Flow leaves the control valve through the AUX
(E) port to be available for the lift circuit and then to the
hydrostat (charge).
Right Turn
When a right turn is made with the engine running, the
turning of the steering wheel positions the control valve
so that flow goes through the bottom of the valve. Flow
entering the steering control v alve at the IN (P) port goes
through the valve and is routed to two places. First, most
of the flow through the valve is by--passed out the AUX
(E) port back through the lift control valve to the hydrostat. Second, the remainder of the flow is drawn through
the rotary meter (V1) and out port (R) to the steering cylinder.Flow to the steering cylinder retracts the piston for
a right turn. The rotary meter (V1) ensures that the oil
flow to the cylinder is proportional to the amount of the
turning on the steering wheel. Fluid leaving the steering
cylinder flows back through the steering control valve
then through the OUT (T) port and to the hydrostat
(charge).
Left Turn
When a left turn is made with the engine running, the
turning of the steering wheel positions the steering control valve so that flow goes through the top of the valve.
Flow entering the steering control valve at the IN (P) port
goes through the spool and is routed to two places. As
in a right turn, most of the flow through the valve is by-passed out the AUX (E) port back through the lift control
and to the hydrostat (charge). Also like a right turn, the
remainder of the flow is drawn through rotary meter ( V1)
but goes out port (L) to the steering cylinder. Flow extends the steering cylinder piston for a left turn. The
rotary meter (V1) ensures that the oil flow to the cylinder
is proportional to the amount of the turning on the steering wheel. Fluid leaving the steering cylinder flows back
through the steering control valve then through the OUT
(T) port and to the hydrostat (charge).
The steering control valve returns to the neutral position
when turning is complete.

High Pressure Hydraulic Oil Filter
If a component failure occurs in the closed loop traction
circuit, contamination from the failed part will remain in
the circuit until removed. When connecting hydraulic
test gauges in order to test traction circuit components
or after replacing a failed traction circuit component (e.g.
hydrostat or wheel motor), a high pressure hydraulic filter can be installed in the traction circuit. The filter will
ensure that contaminates are removed from the closed
loop and thus, do not cause additional component damage.
A high pressure hydraulic oil filter can be obtained locally.

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).
Before Performing Hydraulic Tests
IMPORTANT: All obvious areas such as oil supply,
filter, binding linkages, loose fasteners or improper
adjustments must be checked before assuming that
a hydraulic component is the source of the problem.
Precautions for Hydraulic Testing
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with expected pressure
(psi) rating as listed in test procedures could result in damage to the gauge and possible personal injury from leaking hot oil.
CAUTION
3. All hydraulic tests should be made with the hydraulic
oil at normal operating temperature.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the
system must be relieved. See Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure in the General Information section.
4. Put metal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left
open or exposed during testing or component removal.
5. When using hydraulic tester (pressure and flow), the
inlet and the outlet hoses must be properly connected
and not reversed to prevent damage to the hydraulic
tester or components.
6. Install hydraulic 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
parts from contacting and damaging the hoses or tester.
System
Hydraulic
All testing should be performed by two (2)
people. One person should be in the seat to operate the machine and the other should read 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 fluid is injected into the skin, it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gangrene may result from such an injury.
1. Clean machine thoroughly before disconnecting or
disassembling any hydraulic components. Always keep
in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hydraulic equipment. Contamination can cause excessive
wear or binding of hydraulic components.
2. Before testing, check control linkages for improper
adjustment, binding or broken parts.
8. After connecting test equipment, check oil level in
the hydraulic tank to make sure that oil level is correct.
9. When using hydraulic tester (pressure and flow),
open tester load valve completely before starting engine
to minimize the possibility of damaging components.
10.The engine must be in good operating condition. Use
a phototac when performing a hydraulic test. Engine
speed can affect the accuracy of the tester readings.
Check actual speed of the pump when performing hydraulic flow tests.
11. If a traction circuit problem exists, consider performing one or more of the following tests: Traction Circuit
Working Pressure, Charge Relief Valve Pressure, Piston Pump (P3) Flow & Traction Relief Pressure and/or
Wheel Motor Efficiency Tests.
12.If a cutting circuit problem exists, consider performing one or more of the following tests: Cutting Deck Circuit Pressure, Manifold Relief Valve (R1) Pressure,
Logic (Counterbalance) Valve (LC1) Pressure, Gear
Pump (P1) Flow and/or Deck Motor Efficiency Tests.
13.If a steering or lift circuit problem exists, consider performing one or more of the following tests: Steering and
Lift Relief Pressure, Gear Pump (P2) Flow and/or Steering Control Valve Tests.

8. If charge relief pressure specification is not met, consider the following:
A. The piston pump charge relief valve is faulty. Repair or replace the piston pump charge relief valve
(see Piston Pump Service in the Service and Repairs
section).
B. Gear pump (P2) is faulty (steering and lift circuits
are also affected).
9. A dynamic charge pressure test can be performed as
follows:
A. With T--connector and hydraulic pressure gauge
still connected, sit in the operator seat and press the
traction pedal to forward.
B. While machine is moving, monitor the charge
pressure reading on the pressure guage.
C. The charge pressure should drop no more than
15% from initial test reading (Step 7 above) as the
machine is moving. A pressure drop of more than
15% indicates a traction circuit leak (e.g. a worn or
damaged piston pump and/or wheel motor).

Procedure for Gear Pump (P1) Flow
NOTE: Over a period of time, the gears and wear plates
in the pump can wear. A worn pump will by pass oil and
make the pump less efficient. Eventually,enough oil loss
will occur to cause the cutting unit motors to stall under
heavy cutting conditions. Continued operation with a
worn, inefficient pump can generate excessive heat and
cause damage to the seals and other components in the
hydraulic system.
Test:
11. If flow was less than 11.8 GPM or a pressure of 2000
PSI cannot be obtained, check for restriction in the pump
intake line. If line is not restricted, remove gear pump
(P1) and repair or replace as necessary.
12.Relieve hydraulic system pressure (See Relieving
Hydraulic System Pressure in the General Information
section). Disconnect tester from gear pump fitting and
hose. Reconnect hose to the pump.
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting units
lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the parking
brake is engaged.
3. Read Precautions for Hydraulic Testing.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the

tapered sealing surface on the plug head that is designed to resist vibration induced plug loosening. The
zero leak plugs also have an o--ring as a secondary seal.
If zero leak plug removal is necessary, lightly rap the
plug head using a punch and hammer before using an
allen wrench to remove the plug: the impact will allow
plug removal with less chance of damage to the socket
head of the plug.
