General Safety Instructions

TheGROUNDSMASTER 4100-D was tested and 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. To reduce thepotentialforinjury 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. Keepall shields, safetydevices 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 deck is DISENGAGED.

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 linkage until machine does not move when traction pedal is released.

4. Sincediesel 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.

5. Before getting off the seat: A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral. B. Apply parking brake. C. Disengage cutting deck and wait for blades to

stop. D. Stop engine and remove key from switch. E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is

parked (short or long term), the cutting deck should be lowered to the ground. This relieves pressure from the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of the cutting deck unexpectedly lowering to the ground.

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.

Maintenance and Service

1. Beforeservicing ormakingadjustments, lower deck, stop engine, apply parking brake and remove key from the switch.

2. Makesure machine isin 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. Makesureall hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

5. Keepbodyandhandsaway frompin holeleaks inhydrauliclinesthateject 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. Beforedisconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be relieved by stopping engine and lowering cutting deck to the ground.

10.Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor setting.Toassuresafety andaccuracy,checkmaximum engine speed.

11.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the crankcase.

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.

Safety

7. Ifmajor repairs are everneeded or assistance 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. Ifengine must berunningtoperformmaintenanceor an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other partsof the bodyawayfromcutting deck and othermoving parts. Keep bystanders away.

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).

Torque Specifications

Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the following tables. For criticalapplications,as determined byToro,eitherthe recommended torque or a torquethat 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 specific requirement 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’sheador similar conditionwhichaffectsthe installation.

Fastener Identification

Asnoted inthefollowingtables, torquevaluesshould 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. Measurethetorquerequiredto tighten the fastener until thelinesmatchup.

for towing. See Operator’s Manual for Towing Pro-

90 cedures.

Check Hydraulic Fluid

The Groundsmaster 4100--D hydraulic system is designed to operate on anti--wear hydraulic fluid. The reservoir holds approximately 8 gallons (30.3 liters) of hydraulic fluid. Check level of hydraulic fluid daily. See Operator’s Manual for fluid level checking procedure and hydraulic oil recommendations.

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 thehose. Usetwo wrenches; hold the hose straight with one wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting with the other wrench ( See Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in this section). If the hose has an elbowat oneend,tightenthe swivelnutonthat endbefore 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. Makesure threads and sealing surfaces of the hose/ tube and the fitting are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign material.

2. Asa preventative measure against leakage, it is recommended that the face seal O--ring be replaced any time the connection is opened. Make sure the O--ring is 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).

Traction Circuit: 4WD (Mow)

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 isdirectedtothefrontwheeland rearaxlemotors.Operating pressure on the high pressure side of the closed traction circuit loop is determined by the amount of load developedatthefixeddisplacementwheelandaxlemotors. 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 relief valveto the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. The traction circuit provides operation in either 4WD (mow) or transport (2WD).

Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be measured at test ports on the sides 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 lossofhydraulicfluidfromtheclosedloop tractioncircuit thatmust be replaced. Thecharge circuit is designed to replace this traction circuit leakage.

The gear pump section that supplies oil to the steering andlift/lower circuits alsoprovides oil forthe 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 the 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. Chargepressure is limitedto 250 PSI (17 bar) by a relief valve located in the oil filter manifold. Charge pressure canbe measured at thechargecircuitpressuretestport on the oil filter manifold.

Forward Direction

When the transport/4WD switch is in the 4WD (mow) position and the traction pedal is pushed in the forward direction,oil from the piston pump is directed tothefront wheel motors and 4WD manifold. Oil flow to the front wheel motors drives the motors in the forward direction and then returns to the hydrostat. Oil flow to the 4WD manifold enters the P1 port and then is directed to the PD1 cartridge and out of the manifold M1 port to drive therearaxlemotorintheforwarddirection. Oil returning from the rear motor re--enters the 4WD manifold at the M2 port. Flow passes through the PD2 cartridge, through the CV check valve, out manifold port P2 and back to the hydrostat.

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 returnsto the hydrostat. Toprevent rear wheel lock up, an adjustable relief valve (RV) in the 4WD manifold reducesrear axle motor pressure created indown hill, dynamic braking conditions.

Reverse Direction

The traction circuit operates essentially the same in reverse 4WD (mow) as it does in the forward direction. However,theflowthroughthecircuitisreversed.Oilflow from the hydrostat is directed to the front wheel motors and also to the 4WD manifold. The oil to the front wheel motorsdrives them in the reverse direction and then returns to the hydrostat. The oil to the 4WD manifold enters the manifold at port P2 and flows through pressure reducing valve (PR) which limits the down stream pressuretotherearaxlemotorto650 PSI(45 bar)sotherear wheels will not scuff the turf during reverse operation. This reduced pressure flows through the PD2 cartridge and out port M2 to the rear axle motor. Return oil from the rear motor re--enters the 4WD manifold at port M1, flows through the PD1 cartridge, exits the manifold at port P1 and returns to the hydrostat.

Traction Circuit: Transport (2WD)

Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be measured at test ports on the sides of the machine.

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.Itprovidesaconstantsupplyof chargeoil to the traction circuit to make up for oil that is lost due to internal leakage in the traction pump and motors.

Chargepumpflowisdirected through the oil filter and to the low pressure side of the closed loop traction circuit. A filter bypass valve allows charge oil flow to the closed loopif thefilter becomesplugged.Chargepressureislimited to 250 PSI (17 bar) by a relief valve located in the oil filter manifold. Charge pressure can be measured at thechargecircuit pressure test port on theoilfiltermanifold.

Forward Direction

Withthe transport/4WD switch in the transport position, solenoidvalve (SV) in the 4WD control manifold is energized. The solenoid valve spool shifts to direct charge pressure that shifts the PD1 and PD2 control valve spools. The shifted PD1 valve prevents hydraulic flow from the piston pump to the rear axle motor. With flow blocked to the rear axle motor,all pump flow is directed to the front wheel motors to allow a higher transport speed in the forward direction.

Without flow to the rear axle motor, the rotating rear wheels drive the axle motor so it acts like a pump. Inlet oilto the axle motor isprovided by a checkvalve that allows charge oil into the rear axle motor circuit. Oil leaving the axle motor enters the 4WD control manifold at port M2 and is directed back to the axle motor through theshifted PD1 cartridge and manifold portM1.Toallow forrearwheelloopcoolingwheninforward transportoperation, a small amount of oil exits through the shifted PD1 and PD2 cartridges that returns to the reservoir.

Reverse Direction

The traction circuit operates essentially the same in reversetransport(2WD)asitdoesintheforwarddirection. However, the flow through the circuit is reversed. The shifted solenoid valve (SV) and directional valves PD1 and PD2 in the 4WD manifold prevent oil flow from the rear axle motor.Oil flow from the hydrostat is therefore directed to only the front wheel motors. This oil drives the front wheel motors in the reverse direction and then returns to the hydrostat. Oil circulation through the rear axle motor loop is the same as in the transport (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 lift/lower control valve and the steering control valve. Hydraulic flow from this pump section is delivered to the steering and lift/lower circuits through a proportional flow divider that is located in the fan drive manifold. This pump section takes its suction from the hydraulic reservoir.

When the cutting deck is in a stationary position, flow from the gear pump is by--passed through the lift/lower control valve, counterbalance manifold, oil filter and traction charge circuit.

To lower the cutting deck, the center lift lever on the lift/ lower control valve is pushed to allow valve shift in the lift/lowercontrol.Thisvalvechangeallowsapassagefor oil flow from the rod end of the front deck lift cylinders. The weight of the cutting deck causes the lift cylinders to extend, and lower the cutting deck. Oil from the rod end of the cylinders is allowed to return to the traction chargecircuit. When the liftlever is released, the lift cylinders and cutting deck is held in position.

The drop speed of the front cutting deck is regulated by anadjustableflow control valve that is locatedin the hydraulic lines between the lift/lower control valve and the deck lift cylinders.

Tolowerawingdeck, the appropriate lift lever on the lift/ lower control valve is pushed to allow valve shift in the lift/lower control valve. This valve change causes a valveshiftinthecounterbalancemanifold and oil flow to the barrel end of the lift cylinder. Higher hydraulic pressure against the barrel end of the cylinder causes the cylinder shaft to extend, and lower the wing deck. Oil fromthepistonendofthe cylinder returns to the traction chargecircuit. When the liftlever is released, the lift cylinder and wing deck is held in position.

Anadjustablecounterbalancevalve(CB)inthecounterbalance manifold maintains back pressure on the deck lift cylinders to allow some of the cutting deck weight to be transferred to the traction unit to improve traction. A reliefvalve locatedinthelift/lower controlvalvelimitslift/ lowercircuitpressure to 1500 PSI (103 bar). Excess circuit flow is routed to the oil filter and then to the traction charge circuit.

Mow Circuit

Hydraulicflow for themowcircuitis supplied by twosections of the gear pump. The gear pump section closest to the piston (traction) pump supplies hydraulic flow to the wing decks, while the next gear pump section supplies the center deck.

Each cutting deck is controlled by a hydraulic manifold equipped with a solenoid control valve (S), bypass cartridge (LC1), brake cartridge (LC2) and relief cartridge (RV1).Whenthethedeck solenoidvalve(S)is not energized (PTO switch OFF), hydraulic flow by--passes the deck motor through the bypass cartridge (LC1). When the PTO switch is turned ON, the solenoid valve (S) energizes, causing a shift of the by--pass cartridge (LC1) andallowinghydraulicflowtothe deckmotor.Brakecartridge (LC2) and relief cartridge (RV2) control the stoppingrate of theblade when thesolenoid control valveis de--energized as the PTO switch is turned OFF.

The solenoid valve (S) for each wing deck is de--energized any time the wing deck is raised.

Returnoilfromthedeckmotorsisdirectedtotheoilcooler and oil filter. Deck motor case drain leakage returns to the hydraulic reservoir.

Maximum mow circuit pressure is limited at each deck by a relief valve (RV1) in the hydraulic manifold. The front and left deck relief valves are setat 3000 PSI (207 bar)andtherightdeckreliefvalveissetat2000PSI(137 bar).

Circuit pressure can be measured at port (G) of the hydraulic manifold for each cutting deck.

Mow Circuit Cutting Deck Blade Braking

WhentheoperatorturnsthePTOswitchOFForifadeck israised with the PTOswitch ON, deck control manifold solenoid valve (S) is de--energized causing logic cartridge(LC1)toshift(refertoinformationinPTOMowCircuit in this section). This shifted cartridge allows oil return out manifold port P2. At the same time, solenoid valve (S) in its neutral position prevents any sense line flow through the spool which causes the logic cartridge LC2 to shift to its neutral position blocking return flow fromthe deck motor andslowingthecuttingblades (Fig.

10). Theinertiaofthe rotatingcuttingblades,however,effec-

tively turns the deck motor into a pump causing an increasein pressure as theflow from the motor comesup againsttheclosed logiccartridge(LC2).Whenthispressure builds to approximately 600 PSI (41 bar), relief valve (RV2) opens which allows a small amount of hydraulic flow to return to tank througha manifold sensing line (Fig. 11). This flow causes a pressure increase that shifts logic cartridge LC2 to once again allow oil flow from the motor (Fig. 12). When motor return pressure dropsbelow600PSI(41 bar), relief valve (RV2)reseats andcauses LC2 tocloseagainblocking return flow from the deck motor to further slow the cutting blades. This actionofthebrake reliefvalveopening andthelogic cartridge shifting occurs several times in a very short time frame as the blades finally come to a stop. Once the bladeshavestopped,logiccartridge LC2 remains in the neutral position to keep the deck motor from rotating.

A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (traction) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hydraulicflowtothesteeringcontrolvalveandthelift/lower controlvalve.Pumphydraulicflowisdelivered tothe two circuitsthroughaproportionalflow dividerlocated in the fandrive manifold.Thegearpump takesitssuctionfrom thehydraulicreservoir.Steering circuit pressure is limited to 1350 PSI (93 bar) by a relief valve located in the steering control.

With the steering wheel in the neutral position and the enginerunning, flow enters thesteering 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.

When a left turn is made with the engine running, the turningofthesteeringwheelpositionsthespoolvalveso thatflowgoesthroughthetopofthespool.Flowentering thesteering control valve at the P port goes throughthe spool and is routed to two places. First, most of the flow through the valve is by --passed out the PB port back to 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 contracts 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 leavingthe cylinder flows back through the spool valvethen through the T port and to the hydraulic reservoir.

When a right turn is made with the engine running, the turningofthesteeringwheelpositionsthespoolvalveso thatflow goes through thebottom of the spool.Flow entering the steering control valve at the P port goes throughthe spool and is routed to twoplaces.Asinaleft turn,mostoftheflow throughthevalveis by--passed out 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. Pressureextends the steering cylinder piston for a right turn.The rotary meterensuresthattheoil flow to thecylinder 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 fan drive manifold and hydraulic engine cooling fan motor (Fig.

14). The fan drive manifold controls the operation of the hy-

draulic motor that drives the engine cooling fan in addition to including the flow divider for the steering and lift circuits. The electronically controlled proportional relief valve(PRV)inthemanifoldcontrolstheoilflowtothefan motor.Thefandrivemanifoldcontrols the speed and direction of the fan motor 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.

runsin thereversedirection. A lowerPWMsignal is sent tothe PRVvalveallowingoilflowtoreturntothe fan motor but in the reverse direction causing the motor and cooling fan to run in reverse. The controller determines the length of time that the fan should be run in reverse before fan rotation is returned to the forward direction.

TheTEC--5002 controller can reverse thecoolingfanto clean debris from the radiator, oil cooler and rear intake screen. If hydraulic oil and/or engine coolant temperaturesincrease to an unsuitablelevel,ahigh PWM signal is sent to the(PRV) valve to slow the cooling fanand direct pump oil flow to the reservoir. The controller then energizes solenoid valve (S1) in the fan drive manifold to reverse cooling fan motor oil flow so that the motor

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

WARNING

Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved and all rotating machine parts must be stopped. Stop engine; lower or support attachments.

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 hydraulic components.

CAUTION

Failure to use gauges with recommended pressure (PSI) rating as listed in test procedures couldresult indamage to thegauge andpossible personal injury from leaking hot oil.

CAUTION

All testing should be performed by two (2) people.One personshouldbe in theseat to operate the machine and the other should read and record test results.

CAUTION

Operate all hydraulic controls to relieve system pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic oil. Controls must be operated with the ignitionswitch in OFF. Removekeyfrom the ignition switch.

2. Put metal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left open or exposed during testing or removal of components.

3. Theenginemust beingoodoperatingcondition.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. Theinletandtheoutlethosesfortester withpressure and flow capabilities must be properly connected and not reversed to prevent damage to the hydraulic tester or components.

5. When using hydraulic tester with pressure and flow capabilities, open load valve completely in the tester to minimize the possibility of damaging components.

6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make sure that they are not cross--threaded before tightening them with a wrench.

7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine partsfrom contacting and damaging thehosesortester.

8. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. After connecting test equipment, make sure tank is full.

System

Hydraulic

WARNING

Keepbodyandhands awayfrom pinholeleaks ornozzles 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.

Groundsmaster 4100--D Hydraulic SystemPage 4 -- 31

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 madewiththehydraulic oil at normal operating temperature.

12.Before returningmachine to use, makesure that hydraulic reservoir has correct fluid level. Also, check for hydraulic leaks after test equipment has been removed from hydraulic system.
