General Safety Instructions

TheGroundsmaster4000-Dand4010--Daretestedand certified by Toro for compliance with existing safety standards and specifications. 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 ofthemachinecan resultin injury or death. Toreducethepotentialforinjury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.

Before Operating

WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
1. Review and understand the contents of the Opera­tor’s Manual and Operator’s DVD before starting and operatingthe vehicle. Become familiar with the controls and know how to stop the vehicle and engine quickly. AdditionalcopiesoftheOperator’sManualareavailable on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place. Ifa shield, safety device or decal isdefective,illegibleor damaged, repair or replace it before operating the ma­chine.Also tighten anyloosenuts,bolts or screws toen­sure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in NEUTRAL and cutting decks are DISENGAGED.
4. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care­fully:
A. Use an approved fuel container. B. Donotremovefuel tank capwhileengine ishotor
running. C. Do not smoke while handling fuel. D. Fillfueltankoutdoors and onlytowithinan inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill. E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Groundsmaster 4000--D/4010--DPage 1 -- 2Safety

While Operating

1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma­chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Apply the parking brake. B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged). C. Afterengineis started,releaseparking brakeand
keepfootofftraction pedal. Machine must not move. If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and adjust until machine does not move when traction pedal is released.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade­quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while engineisrunningorsoonafteritisstopped.Theseareas could be hot enough to cause burns.
5. Before getting off the seat: A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral. B. Apply the parking brake.
Safety
C. Disengage cutting decks and wait for blades to stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch. E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is
parked(shortor long term), the cutting decksshould be lowered to the ground. This relieves hydraulic pressurefrom the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of the cutting decks unexpectedly lowering to the ground.
F. Do notpark ons lopes unlesswheelsarechocked or blocked.
Groundsmaster 4000--D/4010--D Page 1 -- 3 Safety

Maintenance and Service

1. Before servicing or making adjustments, lower decks, stop engine, apply parking brake and remove key from the ignition 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 wherethereisanopenflame,suchasnearawaterheat­er or furnace.
4. Make sure all hydraulic connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
5. Keepbodyandhandsawayfrompinholeleaksinhy­drauliclinesthateject 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 mustbe 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 system must be re­lievedbyloweringcutting decks to the ground andstop­ping engine.
7. If major repairs areever needed orassistance is de­sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean protective screen on machine frequently.
9. Ifenginemust be running to perform maintenanceor an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other parts of the body away from cutting decks and other moving parts. Keep bystanders away.
10.Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor setting.Toassuresafety andaccuracy,checkmaximum engine speed.
12.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. Disconnect negative cable first and positive cable last. If battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test procedures,temporarilyconnectthebattery.Reconnect positive cable first and negative cable last.
13.Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoidcontact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face, eyes and clothing when working with a battery.
14.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the battery.
15.At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed tothesafety standards for riding mowers. Toassure op­timumperformance and continuedsafetycertificationof the machine, use genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.Replacementparts andaccessoriesmade by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with the safety standards and the warranty may be voided.
16.When changing attachments, tires or performing other service, use correct blocks, hoists and jacks. Make sure machine is parked on a solid level surface suchasaconcrete floor.Priortoraising themachine,re­move any attachments that may interfere with the safe and proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use appropriate jack stands to support the raised machine. If the machine is not properly sup­ported by jack stands, the machine may move or fall, whichmay resultinpersonal injury(seeJacking Instruc­tions in this chapter).
17.When welding on machine, disconnect all battery cables to prevent damage to machine electronic equip­ment. Disconnect negative battery cable first and posi­tivecablelast.Also,disconnectwire harness connector fromboth of the TEC controllers and disconnect the ter­minal connector from the alternator. Attach welder ground cable no more than two (2) feet (0.61 meters) from the welding location.
11.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the crankcase.

Torque Specifications

Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the followingtables.Forcriticalapplications,as determined byToro,eitherthe recommended torque or atorquethat 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 toall fasteners which donot have a specificrequirement identified in 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 on the fastener,presence of a prevailing torque feature (e.g. Nylock nut), hardness of the surface underneath thefastener’sheadorsimilarcondition whichaffectsthe installation.

Fastener Identification

Asnoted inthefollowingtables,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. Measurethe torque required to tighten the fastener until the lines match up.

Using a Torque Wrench with an Offset Wrench

Useofanoffsetwrench(e.g.crowfootwrench)willaffect torquewrench calibration due to theeffectivechangeof torquewrench length. When using a torque wrench with an offset wrench, multiply the listed torque recommen­dation by the calculated torque conversion factor (Fig.
3) to determine proper tightening torque. Tightening torque when using a torque wrench with an offset wrench will be lower than the listed torque recommen­dation.
Example: The measured effective length of the torque wrench (distance from the center of the handle to the center of the square drive) is 18”.
Themeasuredeffectivelengthofthetorquewrenchwith the offset wrench installed (distance from the center of the handle to the center of the offset wrench) is 19”.

Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure

Beforedisconnectingor performing any work onthehy­draulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system mustberelieved.Parkmachineonalevelsurface,make sure that PTO switch is OFF, lower cutting decks fully, stopengine and engage parking brake.Waitfor all mov­ing parts to come to a complete stop.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, move tractionpedal to both forward and reverse directions. To relieve hydraulic pressure in steering circuit, rotate steering wheel in both directions.

Traction Circuit Component Failure

The traction circuit on Groundsmaster 4000--D and 4010--Dmachines is a closedloop system that includes the piston (traction) pump, two (2) front wheel motors and the rear axle motor. 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.
The recommended method of removing traction circuit contamination would be to temporarily install the Toro high flow hydraulic filter (see Special Toolsin this chap­ter) into the circuit. This filter should be used when con­necting hydraulic test gauges in order to test traction circuitcomponentsorafter replacingafailedtractioncir­cuit component (e.g. traction (piston) pump or wheel motor). The filter will ensure that contaminates are re­movedfromthe closedloopandthus,donotcauseaddi­tional component damage.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in lift circuit, start engine andfully lowerthecuttingdecks.Turnkeyswitch toOFF and remove key from the ignition switch.
System pressure in mow circuit is relieved when the PTO switch is disengaged.
Once the Toro high flow hydraulic filter kit has been placedin the circuit, raise andsupport the machine with all wheels off the ground. Then, operate the traction cir­cuit to allow oil flow throughout the circuit.The filter will remove contamination from the traction circuit during operation. Because the Toro high flow filter is bi--direc­tional,the tractioncircuitcan be operatedinboththe 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.
Thealternative tousingthe Torohigh flowhydraulicfilter 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,thedebriscancauseadditionalcircuitcompo­nent failure.

Hydraulic Hoses

Hydraulichoses are subject to extremeconditions such aspressuredifferentialsduring operationandexposure to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage condi­tionsormishandlingduring operationandmaintenance. 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
Beforedisconnectingorperformingany work on hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in system (seeRelievingHydraulicSystemPressure 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 the hose. Use two wrenches when tightening a hose; hold the hose straight with one wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting with the second wrench (see Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in this sec­tion). If the hose has an elbow at one end, tighten the swivel nut on that end before 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).
Keepbodyand handsaway frompinholeleaksor 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 withthis typeofinjury.Gangrenemayresult from such an injury.

Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation (O--Ring Face Seal Fitting)
1. Makesurethreadsandsealingsurfacesofthehose/ tube and the fitting are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign material.
2. Asapreventativemeasureagainstleakage,itis rec­ommended that the face seal O--ring be replaced any time the connection is opened. Make sure the O--ringis installedandproperly seatedinthefittinggroove.Lightly lubricate the O--ring with clean hydraulic oil.
3. Place the hose/tube against the fitting body so that theflatfaceofthehose/tube sleevefullycontactstheO-­ring in the fitting.
4. Thread the swivel nut onto the fitting by hand. While holding the hose/tube with a wrench, use a torque wrench to tighten the swivel nut to the recommended installation torque shown in Figure 5. This tightening process will require the use of an offset wrench (e.g. crowfoot wrench). Use of an offset wrench will affect torque wrench calibration due to the effective length change of the torque wrench. Tightening torque when usingatorquewrenchwithanoffsetwrenchwillbelower than the listed installation torque (see Using a Torque Wrench with an Offset Wrench in the Torque Specifica­tionssection of Chapter 2 -- Product Records and Main­tenance).

The traction circuit piston pump is a variable displace­ment pump that is directly coupled to the engine fly­wheel. Pushing the traction pedal engages a hydraulic servo valve which controls the variable displacement piston pump swash plate to create a flow of oil. This oil isdirected tothefrontwheel andrearaxle motors.Oper­ating pressure on the high pressure side of the closed traction circuitloop is determined by the amountof load developedatthefixed displacementwheel andaxlemo­tors. As the load increases, circuit pressure can in­crease to relief valve settings: 4000 PSI (274 bar) in forward and 5000 PSI (343 bar) in reverse. If pressure exceeds the relief setting, oil flows through the piston pump relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. The traction circuit provides opera­tion in either Hi speed (2WD) or Low speed (4WD).
Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be measured at test ports in hydraulic tubes. The forward tractionport is on theleftside of themachineand the re­verse traction port is on the right side of the machine.
The traction circuit pump and 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 lossof hydraulic fluid from the closedlooptractioncircuit that must be replaced. The charge circuit is designedto replace this traction circuit leakage.
The gear pump section that supplies oil to the steering and lift/lower circuits also provides oil for the charge cir­cuit. This gear pump is driven directly off the traction pump. It provides a constant supply of charge oil to make up for oil that is lost due to internal leakage in the traction pump and motors.
Pump flow for the charge circuit is directed through the oil filter and to t he low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. A filter bypass valve allows charge oil flow to the closed loop if the filter becomes plugged. Chargepressureislimitedto250PSI(17bar)by a relief valve located in the oil filter manifold. Charge pressure canbemeasuredat the charge circuit pressure test port on the oil filter manifold.
Forward Direction
Whenthe Hi/LowswitchisintheLow speed(4WD)posi­tionandthetractionpedalispushedin theforwarddirec­tion, oil from the piston pump passes through the tractionmanifold.Oil flow from traction manifold portM1 drives the front wheel motors in the forward direction and then returns to the piston pump. Oil flow from trac­tionmanifoldport M2 is routed tothe P1 port of the 4WD manifoldwhereitisdirectedtothePD1cartridgeandout ofthemanifoldtodrivetherearaxlemotorintheforward direction.Oil returningfromtherearmotorre--entersthe 4WD manifold at the M2 port. Flow passes through the PD2cartridge,throughthe CVcheckvalve, outmanifold port P2 and back to the piston pump.
When going down a hill, the tractor becomes an over-­running load that drives the wheel and axle motors. In this condition, the rear axle motor could lock up as the oil pumped from the motor increases pressure as it re­turns to the piston pump. To prevent rear wheel lock up, an adjustable relief valve (RV) in the 4WD manifold re­duces rear axle motor pressure created in down hill, dy­namic braking conditions.
Reverse Direction
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in re­verse Low speed (4WD) as it does in the forward direc­tion. However, the flow through the circuit is reversed. Oil flow from the piston pump is directed to the front wheel motors and also to the 4WD manifold. The oil to the front wheel motors drives them in the reverse direc­tion and then returns to the piston pump through the tractionmanifold. Theoilto the 4WDmanifoldentersthe manifoldat portP2andflows through pressurereducing valve(PR) which limits thedown stream pressure tothe rear axle motor to 650 PSI (45 bar) so the rear wheels will not scuff the turf during reverse operation. This re­ducedpressure flows throughthePD2cartridge and out port M2 to the rear axle motor. Return oil from the rear motor re--enters the 4WD manifold at port M1, flows throughthePD1cartridge,exitsthemanifoldatportP1 and returns to the piston pump.
System
Hydraulic
Aflow divider is incorporated intothe traction circuit and is located in the traction manifold. When in Low speed (4WD), the operator can momentarily engage this flow divider when low traction situations could lead to wheel spin. Depressing the flow divider switch energizes the solenoid valve in the traction manifold. This energized solenoid valve causes traction pump hydraulic flow to split between the front wheel motors (approximately 45%) and rear axle motor (approximately 55%) to re­duce the chance that excessive circuit flow goes to a spinning wheel.

Traction Circuit: Hi Speed (2WD)
The traction circuit piston pump is a variable displace­ment pump that is directly coupled to the engine fly­wheel. Pushing the traction pedal engages a hydraulic servo valve which controls the variable displacement piston pump swash plate to create a flow of oil. This oil isdirected tothefrontwheel andrearaxle motors.Oper­ating pressure on the high pressure side of the closed traction circuitloop is determined by the amountof load developedatthefixed displacementwheel andaxlemo­tors. As the load increases, circuit pressure can in­crease to relief valve settings: 4000 PSI (274 bar) in forward and 5000 PSI (343 bar) in reverse. If pressure exceeds the relief setting, oil flows through the piston pump relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. The traction circuit provides opera­tion in either Hi speed (2WD) or Low speed (4WD).
Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be measured at test ports in hydraulic tubes. The forward tractionport is on theleftside of themachineand the re­verse traction port is on the right side of the machine.
The traction circuit pump and 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 lossof hydraulic fluid from the closedlooptractioncircuit that must be replaced. The charge circuit is designedto replace this traction circuit leakage.
Forward Direction
With the Hi/Low speed switch in the Hi speed position (2WD),solenoid valve(SV)inthe4WD manifold is ener­gized. The solenoid valve spool shifts to direct charge pressure that shifts the PD1 and PD2 control valve spools.TheshiftedPD1valvepreventspistonpumphy­draulicflow from reaching the rear axlemotor.With flow blocked to the rear axle motor, all traction pump flow is directedtothe frontwheelmotorsto allowahighertrans­port speed in the forward direction.
Without flow to the rear axle motor, the rotating rear wheels drive the axle m otor so it acts like a pump. Inlet oilto the axle motor is provided by a check valve that al­lowscharge circuit oil into the rear axlemotor circuit. Oil leaving the axle motor enters the 4WD manifold at port M2 and is directed back to the axle motor through the shiftedPD1 cartridge and manifold port M1. To allow for rear wheel loop cooling when in forward transport op­eration, a small amount of oil exits through the shifted PD1 and PD2 cartridges that returns to the reservoir. This oil loss is replaced by charge circuit oil.
A transport cylinder is included in the traction circuit to reduce traction control arm movement on the piston pump when operating in Hi speed (2WD). This reduced armmovement limits swash plate rotation to preventex­cessive transport speed.
System
Hydraulic
The gear pump section that supplies oil to the steering and lift/lower circuits also provides charge oil for the traction circuit. This gear pump is driven directly off the tractionpump.Itprovidesaconstantsupplyofcharge oil to the traction circuit to make up for oil that is lost due to internal leakage in the traction pump and motors.
Chargepumpflow is directed through theoilfilter and to the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. A filter bypass valve allows charge oil flow to the closed loopifthe filter becomes plugged. Charge pressure is li­mited to 250 PSI (17bar) by a relief valve located in the oil filter manifold. Charge pressure can be measured at the charge circuit pressure test port on the oil filter man­ifold.
Thetraction manifold flow divider cannot beengagedby the operator during Hi speed (2WD) operation.
Reverse Direction
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in re­verseHispeed(2WD)asitdoesintheforwarddirection. However, the flow through the circuit is reversed. The shifted solenoid valve (SV) and directional valves PD1 andPD2inthe4WD manifold prevent oil flow to the rear axlemotor.Oil flow from the pistonpumpis therefore di­rected to only the front wheel motors. This oil drives the front wheel motors in the reverse direction and then re­turnsto the piston pump.Oil circulation through the rear axlemotorloop isthe sameas intheHispeed(2WD)for­ward direction.

Lower Cutting Deck
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac­tion) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hy­draulic flow to both the steering and lift/lower circuits. Hydraulicflow from this pump section is delivered to the two circuits through aproportional flow divider that is lo­cated in the fan drive manifold. This flow divider splits pump flow approximately 50% for the steering circuit and 50% for the lift/lower circuit.
Arelief valve (RV1) located inthe lift/lower manifold lim­its lift/lower circuit pressure to 1600 PSI (110 bar). An adjustable valve (RV2) in the lift/lower manifold main­tains back pressure (counterbalance) on the deck lift cylinders to allow some of the cutting deck weight to be transferred to the traction unit to improve traction.
Each of the cutting decks (center, right and left) can be loweredindependentlywiththeuse ofthree(3)switches on the armrest console. Pressing the front of a switch provides an input f or the TEC--5001 controller to lower acutting deck. The controller provideselectricaloutputs to solenoids in the lift/lower manifold to allow appropri­ate manifold valve shift to cause a deck t o lower.
When the cutting decks are in a stationary position, all solenoids in the lift/lower manifold are de--energized. In this position, lift/lower circuit flow bypasses the lift cylin­dersand isdirectedthroughthe lift/lower manifold,oilf il­ter and then to the traction charge circuit.
NOTE: To lower a cutting deck, the operatormust be in the operator seat and the traction speed must be in the Low speed (4WD) position.
Lower Center Cutting Deck
To lower the center cutting deck, the front of the center console switch is depressed. The switch signal is an in­put to the TEC--5001controller which provides an elec­trical output to solenoid valve S6 in the lift/lower manifold. Energized solenoid valve S6 shifts to allow a passage for oil flow from the rod end of the center deck lift cylinders. The weight of the cutting deck causes the center deck lift cylinders to extend and lower the center cutting deck. Oil from the extending cylinders flows throughan orifice in the fitting at manifold port C2(.070) tocontrol thedropspeedofthecuttingdeck.Flowisthen directedthrough the shifted S6, valveRV2, out manifold port CH, to the oil filter and is then availablefor the trac­tion charge circuit.
Whenthe center deck switch is released, solenoid S6 is de--energized and the lift cylinders and center cutting deck are held in position.
Lower Right Cutting Deck
Tolowertherightwingdeck,thefrontoftherightconsole switchis pushed asaninput to the TEC--5001 controller. The controller provides an electrical output to solenoid valvesS1,S8andS9in thelift/lowermanifold.Theener­gized solenoid valves shift to allow a passage for circuit oil flow to the rod end of the right deck lift cylinder. ShiftedS1 prevents oil flowfrom bypassing the liftcylin­ders. Shifted S8 allows an oil path to the rod end of the right lift cylinder to retract the lift cylinder and lower the right cutting deck. Oil from the retracting cylinder flows through the orifice in manifold port C6 (.063) to control thedrop speed of the cutting deck. Flowis then directed through shifted S9, valve RV2, out manifold port CH, to the oil filter and then to the traction charge circuit.
When the deck switch is released, the manifold sole­noids are de--energized and the lift cylinder and right cutting deck are held in position.
Lower Left Cutting Deck
To lower the left wing deck, the front of the left console switchis pushed asaninput to the TEC--5001 controller. The controller provides an electrical output to solenoid valvesS1,S3andS4in thelift/lowermanifold.Theener­gized solenoid valves shift to allow a passage for circuit oilflow to the rod end of the left decklift cylinder.Shifted S1 prevents oil flow from bypassing the lift cylinders. Shifted S3 allows an oil path to the rod end of the left lift cylinder to retract the lift cylinder and lower the left cut­ting deck. Oil from the retracting cylinder flows through the orifice in manifold port C4 (.063) to control the drop speed of the cutting deck. Flow is then directed through the shifted S4, valve RV2, out manifold port CH, to the oil filter and then to the traction charge circuit.
When the deck switch is released, the manifold sole­noids are de--energizedand the lift cylinder and left cut­ting deck are held in position.
Cutting Deck Float
Cutting deck float allows the fully lowered cutting decks to follow ground surface contours. Lift/lower manifold solenoid valves S4 (left deck), S6 (center deck) and S9 (right deck) are energized when the decks are fully low­ered.Theseenergizedsolenoidsprovidean oilpassage toand from the liftcylinders to allow cylinderand cutting deck movement while mowing. Counterbalance pres­sure (RV2) will affect deck float operation.
NOTE: If a deck is already fully lowered when the igni­tion switch is moved from OFF to RUN, the deck will not be in float until the appropriate deck lift/lower switch is momentarily pressed to lower.

A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac­tion) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hy­draulic flow to both the steering and lift/lower circuits. Hydraulicflow from this pump section is delivered to the two circuits through aproportional flow divider that is lo­cated in the fan drive manifold.

An adjustable valve (RV2) in the lift/lower manifold main­tains back pressure (counterbalance) on the deck lift cylinders to allow some of the cutting deck weight to be transferred to the traction unit to improve traction.
Each of the cutting decks (center, right and left) can be raised independently with the use of three (3) switches on the armrest console. Pressing the rear of a switch provides an input for the TEC--5001 controller to raise a cutting deck. The controller provides electrical outputs to solenoids in the lift/lower manifold to allow appropri­atevalveshifttocauseadecktoraise.
When the cutting decks are in a stationary position, all solenoids in the lift/lower manifold are de--energized. In this position, lift/lower circuit flow bypasses the lift cylin­dersand isdirectedthroughthe lift/lower manifold,oilf il­ter and is then available for the traction charge circuit.
NOTE: To raise a cutting deck, the operator must be in the operator seat.
Raise Center Cutting Deck
To raise the center cutting deck, the rear of the center console switch is depressed. The switch signal is an in­put to the TEC--5001controller which provides an elec­tricaloutput tosolenoidvalvesS1 and S5 in the lift/lower manifold. The energized solenoid valves shift to allow a passage for circuit oil flow to the rod end of the center deck lift cylinders. Shifted S1 prevents oil flow from by­passing the lift cylinders.Shifted S5 allowsan oil path to therodend of the front lift cylinders causing theliftcylin­ders to retract and raise the center cutting deck. An ori­fice in manifold port C2 (.035) exists to control the raise speed of the cutting deck. Oil from the barrel end of the retracting cylinders returns to the hydraulic reservoir.
Raise Right Cutting Deck
To raise the right deck, the rear of the right console switch is depressed as an input to the TEC-- 5001 con­troller.The controller provides an electrical output to so­lenoid valves S1 and S7 in the lift/lower manifold. The energized solenoid valves shift to allow a passage for circuitoil flow to the barrel end of the right deck lift cylin­der. Shifted S1 prevents oil flow from bypassing the lift cylinders. Shifted S7 allows an oil path through the ori­fice in manifold port C6 and to the barrel end of the right lift cylinder to extend the lift cylinder and raise the right cutting deck. Oil from the extending cylinder is directed throughS8(de--energized),out manifold port CH, to the oil filter and then to the traction charge circuit.
When the deck switch is released, the manifold sole­noids are de--energized and the lift cylinder and right cutting deck are held in position.

Mow
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac­tion)pump. Hydraulic flowforthemowcircuitis supplied by two sections of the gear pump. The gear pump sec­tion closest to the piston (traction) pump supplies hy­draulicflow to the side cuttingdecks, while thenext gear pump section supplies the front cutting deck.
Each cutting deck is controlled by a hydraulic manifold equipped with a solenoid control valve (S), bypass car­tridge(LC1),brakecartridge(LC2)andtwo(2)reliefcar­tridges (RV1 and RV2). Circuit pressure can be measured at port (G) of the hydraulic manifold for each cutting deck.
NOTE: To engage the mow circuit, the operator must be in the operator seat, the cutting deck(s)must be fully loweredandthetractionspeedmustbeintheLow speed (4WD) position.
PTO Not Engaged
WhenthePTOswitch is OFF or if the deck is raised with thePTOswitch ON,thePTOmanifoldsolenoidvalve(S) is not energized and the solenoid spool is in the neutral position. This solenoid spool in neutral allows a small amountofhydraulicflow toreturnto tankthroughaman­ifoldsensinglinewhichcauses a pressure increase that shifts bypass cartridge LC1. The pump flow is routed throughshiftedLC1andoutmanifoldportP2. Brakecar­tridge LC2 remains in the unshifted position to prevent any return flow from the deck motor to keep the motor from rotating.
Deck motor case drain leakage returns to the hydraulic reservoir.
PTO Circuit Relief
Maximum mow circuit pressure is limited for each deck by a relief valve (RV1) in the PTO manifold. The center and leftdeck relief valves are setat 3000 PSI (207bar) and the right deck relief valve is set at 2000 PSI (138 bar).
Relief valve (RV1) and bypass cartridge (LC1) work to­gether as a two stage relief. When increased circuit re­sistance is met or if a cutting blade should strike an object, the pressure increase is felt at the relief valve. If the pressure should exceed the relief valve setting, the reliefvalve will open,creatinga small amount of hydrau­lic flow to return to tank through a manifold sensing line. This flow causes a pressure increase that shifts bypass cartridgeLC1anddiverts circuitflowawayfromthe deck motor to manifold port P2 (Fig. 10). When circuit pres­sure lowers, relief valve (RV1) closes which returns by­pass cartridge LC1 back to its neutral position allowing flow to return to the deck motor.

Hydraulic
PUMP FLOW
Return flow from the front and right PTO manifolds is routedthroughtheoilcooler,oilfilterandthentothe gear pump input. Return flow from the left PTO manifold pro­vides supply for the right deck.
PTO Engaged
When the PTO switch is turned ON and the decks are lowered, the PTO manifold solenoid valve (S) is ener­gized by the TEC--5001controller. This shifted solenoid valve prevents any sense line flow through the valve whichallowsthebypasscartridgeLC1tobe initsneutral position.Gear pump flow enteringthemanifoldisrouted out manifoldport M1 and to the cutting deckmotor. The return flow from the deck motor re--entersmanifold port M2. The shifted solenoid valve (S) allows a small amount of this return flow to return to tank through a manifoldsensing line which causes a pressureincrease that shifts brake cartridge LC2. Hydraulic flow is routed through shifted LC2, out manifold port P2, through the oil cooler and filter and then is routed to the gear pump input. The deck motor continues to rotate as long as so­lenoid valve (S) is energized.

WhentheoperatorturnsthePTOswitchOFF orifadeck is raised with the PTO switch ON, PTO manifold sole­noidvalve(S)isde--energizedcausingbypass cartridge (LC1) to shift (refer to information in Mow Circuit in this section).This shifted cartridge allowsoilreturnoutman­ifold port P2. At the same time, solenoid valve (S) in its neutralpositionpreventsanysenseline flowthrough the spool which causes the brake cartridge (LC2) to shift to its neutral position blocking return flow from the deck motor and slowing the cutting blades (Fig. 11).
Theinertiaoftherotating cuttingblades,however,effec­tively turns the deck motor into a pump causing an in­creasein pressure as the flow from the motor comesup against the closed brake cartridge (LC2). When this pressurebuilds to approximately 600 PSI (41 bar), relief valve (RV2) opens which allows a small amount of hy­draulic flow to return to tank through a manifold sensing line (Fig. 12). This flow causes a pressure increase that shifts brake cartridge (LC2) to once again allow oil flow from the motor (Fig. 13). When return pressure drops below 600 PSI (41 bar), relief valve (RV2) reseats and causes LC2 to close again blocking return flow from the deckmotortofurtherslowthecutting blades.Thisaction ofthebrake relief valve opening and the brake cartridge shifting occurs several times in a very short time frame as the blades finally come to a stop. Once the blades have stopped, brake cartridge LC2 remains in the neu­tral position to keep the deck motor from rotating.

Steering Circuit
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac­tion) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hy­draulic flow to both the steering and lift/lower circuits. Hydraulicflow from this pump section is delivered to the two circuits through aproportional flow divider that is lo­cated in the fan drive manifold. This flow divider splits pump flow approximately 50% for the steering circuit and 50% for the lift/lower circuit.
Steering circuit pressure is limited to 1350 PSI (93 bar) bya relief valvelocatedin the steeringcontrolvalve. Cir­cuit pressure can be measured at a test port in the hy­draulic supply tube.
With the steering wheel in the neutral position and the engine running, flow entersthe steering control valve at the P port and goes through the steering control spool valve, by--passing the rotary meter (V1) and steering cylinder. Flow leaves the control valve through the PB port to the oil filter and traction charge circuit.
Left Turn
When a left turn is made with the engine running, the turningofthesteeringwheelpositionsthespool valve so thatflowgoesthroughthetop ofthespool.Flowentering the steering control valveat the P port goes through the spool and is routed to two places. First,most of the flow throughthevalveisby--passedoutthePBportbackto the oil filter and traction charge circuit. Second, the re­mainder of the flow is drawn through the rotary meter
(V1) and out the L port. Pressure retracts the steering cylinder piston for a left turn. The rotary meter ensures that the oil flow to the cylinder is proportional to the amount of the turning on the steering wheel. Fluid leav­ing the cylinder flows back through the spool valve then through the T port and to the hydraulic reservoir.

When a right turn is made with the engine running, the turningofthesteering wheelpositionsthespoolvalveso that flow goes throughthe bottom of the spool. Flow en­tering the steering control valve at the P port goes throughthe spool and is routed to two places. As in a left turn,most of the flow throughthevalveisby--passedout the PB port back to the oil filter and traction charge cir­cuit. Also like a left turn, the remainder of the flow is drawn through rotary meter (V1) but goes out port R. Pressure extends the steeringcylinder piston fora right turn.The rotarymeter ensures that the oil flow to the cyl­inder is proportional to the amount of the turning on the steering wheel. Fluid leaving the cylinder flows back through the spool valve then through the T port and to the hydraulic reservoir.

Engine Cooling Fan Circuit
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac­tion)pump. Thegearpump sectionfarthestfrom thepis­ton pump supplies hydraulic flow for the engine cooling fan circuit (Fig. 15).
The fan drive manifold controls the operation of the hy­draulic motor that drives the engine cooling fan in addi­tion to including the flow divider for the steering and lift/lower circuits. The fan drive manifold controls the speedand direction of the fanmotor based on electrical output from the TEC--5002 controller.
Oil flow from the gear pump to the cooling fan motor is controlled by the proportional relief valve (PRV) in the fan drive manifold. This valve adjusts fan circuit pres­sure and flow based on a PWM (Pulse Width Modula­tion)signalfromtheTEC--5002controller.Thecontroller uses engine coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures as inputstodeterminetheproperPWMsignalfor the(PRV) valve. The fan circuit flow determines the speed of the coolingfan motor and thus, the speed ofthecoolingfan.
If the fan motor is stalled for any reason, the manifold proportionalreliefvalve(PRV) hasasecondary function as a circuit relief to limit fan motor pressure to 3000 PSI (207 bar).
When the engine is shut off, the over--running inertia load of the fan blades keeps driving the fan motor and turnsitintoapump.Thecheckvalve(CV)inthefandrive manifold will open to keep the motor circuit full of oil so the fan motor will not cavitate.

Troubleshooting

The charts that follow contain suggestions that can be used to assist in diagnosing hydraulic system perfor­mance issues. The suggestions are not all--inclusive. Also, consider that there may be more than one cause for a machine problem.
Review the hydraulic schematic and information on hy­draulic system operation in the Hydraulic Flow Dia­grams section of this Chapter. This information will be useful during the hydraulic troubleshooting process.
Refer to the Testing section of this Chapter for precau­tions and specific hydraulic test procedures.
NOTE: When troubleshooting traction problems on your Groundsmaster, if a problem exists in both Low (4WD) and Hi (2WD) speeds, consider a faulty compo­nent that affects the entire traction circuit (e.g. charge circuit, traction relief v alves, piston pump, front wheel motors).Ifthe problem exists in Low (4WD) butnotinHi (2WD), consider a problem in the 4WD traction system (e.g. rear axle motor, 4WD manifold).

Testing

The most effective method for isolating problems in the hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment suchaspressure gauges and flow metersin 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 adjustmentsmustbecheckedbeforeassuming that ahydraulic componentis the sourceof theproblem.
Precautions for Hydraulic Testing
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended pres­sure (PSI/bar) rating as listed in test procedures couldresult indamage to thegauge andpossible personal injury from leaking hot oil.
1. Clean machine thoroughly before disconnecting or disassemblingany hydraulic components. Always keep in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hy­draulic equipment. Contamination will cause excessive wear of components.
2. Put metal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left open or exposed during testing or removal of compo­nents.
3. Theenginemustbe ingoodoperatingcondition.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 flow testing.
4. When using the hydraulic tester with flow and pres­sure capabilities, the inlet and the outlet hoses must be properly connected and not reversed to prevent dam­age to the hydraulic tester or components.
5. When using the hydraulic tester with flow and pres­sure capabilities, completely open flow control valve on tester before starting the engine to minimize the possi­bility of damaging components.
WARNING
Keepbody and hands awayfrom pin hole leaksor nozzlesthat eject hydraulic fluidunderhigh pres­sure. Do not use hands to search for leaks; use paper or cardboard. Hydraulicfluid 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 withthistypeof injury.Gangrenemay result from such an injury.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the sys­tem must be relieved. See Relieving Hydraulic SystemPressureintheGeneralInformationsec­tion in this chapter.
6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make sure that they are not cross--threadedbefore tightening them with a wrench.
7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine partsfrom contacting and damaging thehosesortester.
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.After installing test gauges, run engine at low speed and check for any hydraulic oil leaks.
11.All hydraulic tests should be made with thehydraulic oil at normal operating temperature.
12.Before returningmachine to use, makesure that hy­draulic reservoir has correct fluid level.
CAUTION
All testing should be performed by two (2) people.One personshouldbe in theseat to oper­ate the machine, and the second person should read test instruments and record test results.
Groundsmaster 4000--D/4010--DHydraulic System Page 4 -- 36
Which Hydraulic Tests Are Necessary?
Before beginning any hydraulic test, identify if the prob­lemis related tothetractioncircuit, cutting(mow)circuit, lift circuit, steering circuit or engine cooling fan circuit. Once the faulty system has been identified, perform tests that relate to that circuit.
1. If a traction circuit problem exists, consider perform­ing one or more of the following tests: Traction Circuit Charge Pressure, Traction Circuit Relief Pressure, Counterbalance Pressure, Rear Traction Circuit (RV) Relief Pressure, Traction Circuit Reducing Valve (PR) Pressure and/or Piston (Traction) Pump Flow Tests.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Traction Circuit Component Failure in the General Information section of this chapterfor information regarding the importanceof removing contamination from the traction circuit.
2. If a cutting (mow) circuit problem exists, consider performing one or more of the following tests: Cutting Deck Circuit Pressure, PTO Relief Pressure, Cutting Deck Motor C ase Drain Leakage and/or Cutting Deck Gear Pump Flow Tests.
3. If a lift circuit problem exists, consider performing oneor more of thefollowing tests: Lift/Lower Circuit Re­liefPressure and/or Steering and Lift/Lower Gear Pump Flow Tests.
4. Ifa steering circuit problemexists,consider perform­ing one or more of the following tests: Steering Circuit Relief Pressure, Steering Cylinder Internal Leakage and/or Steering and Lift/Lower Gear Pump Flow Tests.
5. Ifaenginecooling fan circuit problem exists, consid­erperforming one or moreof the following tests: Engine Cooling Fan Circuit and/or Engine Cooling Fan Circuit Gear Pump Flow Tests.

ProcedureforTractionCircuitChargePressureTest
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem­perature by operating the machine under load for approximately ten (10) minutes. Make sure the hydrau­lic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting decks lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the parking brake is applied.
3. Raise and support operator seat.
CAUTION
8. Next, with the pressure gauge still connected to the charge pressure test port, take a gauge reading while operating the machine in forward and reverse. Start the engine and put throttle at high idle speed (2870 RPM). Apply the brakes and push the traction pedal forward while monitoring the pressure gauge. Repeat for re­verse direction. Stop engine and record test results.
9. If charge pressure meets specifications under no load conditions (step 5 above), but consistently drops more than 15% when under traction load, the piston (traction) pump and/or traction motor(s) should be sus­pected of wear and inefficiency. When the pump or mo­tors are worn or damaged, the charge pump is not able to keep up with internal leakage in the traction system components.
Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equip­ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre­cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning of this section.
4. Connect a 1000 PSI (70 bar) pressure gauge onto charge pressure test port on filter manifold (Fig. 26).
5. Start the engine and put throttle at high idle speed (2870 RPM) with no load on the hydraulic system.

3. Make sure that traction pedal is adjusted to the neu­tral position. Also, ensure that traction pump is at full stroke when traction pedal is pushed into fully forward position.
4. Raise and support machine so all wheels are off the ground(seeJackingInstructionsinChapter1 -- Safety).
5. Thoroughly clean junction of hydraulic hose and left side fitting on bottom of traction pump (forward port) (Fig. 37). Disconnect hose from left side pump fitting.
7. Startengineandrunatidlespeed.Check for any hy­draulic leakage from tester and hose connections. Cor­rect any leaks before proceeding.
8. Move throttle so engine is running at high idle speed (2870 RPM).
9. Slowly push traction pedal t o fully forward position. Keep pedal fully depressed in the forward position.
10.Havesecondperson watch pressuregauge on test­er carefully while slowly closing the flow control valve until 1000 PSI (69 bar) is obtained. Verify with a photo­tac that the engine speed is still 2870 RPM.
NOTE: If engine speed drops below 2870 RPM, pump flow will decrease.
11.Observe flow gauge. Flow indication should be approximately 29 GPM (110 LPM).
12.Release traction pedal to the neutral position, open flow control valve on tester and shut off engine. Record test results.
13.If flow is less than 26 GPM (98 LPM), consider the following:
A. The traction pump swash plate is not being ro­tated fully (e.g. Hi/Low switch is not in Low speed (4WD), traction pedal linkage may need adjust­ment).
B. The hydrostat needs to be repaired or replaced as necessary.
14.Make necessaryrepairs before performinganyaddi­tional tests.
15.When testing is complete, disconnect tester and hose kit from pump fitting and machine hydraulic hose. Reconnect hose to pump fitting. Lower machine to ground.

Procedure for Cutting Deck Motor Case Drain Leakage Test
5. Sitonseatandstarttheengine.Movethrottletohigh idle speed (2870 RPM). Move PTO switch to ON.
NOTE: Overa periodoftime,a deck motor can wearin­ternally. A worn motor may by--passoil to its case drain causing the motor to be less efficient. Eventually, enough oil loss will cause the deck motor to stall under heavy cutting conditions. Continued operation with a worn, inefficient motor can generate excessive heat, causedamage to sealsandothercomponentsinthehy­draulic system and affect quality of cut.
NOTE: Onemethodtofindafailingormalfunctioning deck motor is to have another person observe the ma­chine while mowing in dense turf. A bad motor will run slower, produce fewer clippingsandmay cause a differ­ent appearance on the turf.
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem­perature by operating the machine under load for approximately ten (10) minutes. Make sure the hydrau­lic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting decks lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the parking brake is applied.
6. While watching pressure gauge, slowly close flow control valve on tester until a pressure of 1200 PSI (83
bar) is obtained. NOTE: Use a graduated container, special tool
TOR4077, to measure case drain leakage (Fig. 44).
7. Have a second personcollect the flow from the case drain line for 15 seconds, then move the PTO switch to OFF and stopthe engine (Fig. 44). Record test results.
TEST RESULTS: Flow less than 22.4 ounces (662 ml) (0.7 GPM/2.6 LPM) of hydraulic fluid in 15 sec­onds.
8. If flow is more than 22.4 ounces (662 ml) (0.7 GPM/2.6LPM) in 15 seconds, the motor is worn or dam­aged and should be repaired or replaced.
9. After testing is completed, disconnect tester from motorand hose. Reconnecthosetothedeckmotor.Re­move cap from tee--fitting and reconnect case drain hose.
CAUTION
Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equip­ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre­cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning of this section.
NOTE: The side deck motors are connected in series.
To isolate a faulty motor, both motors in the circuit may havetobetestedbystarting with the left side motor first.
3. Disconnect hose from return of the motor to be tested (Fig. 43). Install tester (flow and pressure) in se­rieswith the motor and disconnectedreturn hose. Make sure the flow control valve on tester is fully open.
4. Disconnect themotor case drain hose (small diame­terhose)where itconnects to hydraulic manifold tee--fit­ting(not at the motor). Put a steel cap on thefittingatthe tee--fitting; leave the case drain hose open.
