General Safety Instructions1 -- 2..................
TheGroundsmaster 5900 and 5910 are testedand 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.Improperuseormaintenance of themachinecan
resultininjuryordeath. Toreduce the potentialforinjury
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
operating the machine. Become familiar with the controls and know how to stop the machine and engine
quickly. Additionalcopies ofthe Operator’s Manual are
available on the internet at www.Toro.com.

is unique to theapplicationis clearly identifiedandspecified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shallapply to all fastenerswhich
donot have a specific requirement identified inthis 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, presenceof a prevailingtorque feature
(e.g. Nylock nut), hardness of the surface underneath
thefastener’sheadorsimilarconditionwhichaffectsthe

Fastener Identification
Asnotedin thefollowingtables,torque valuesshouldbe
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torquevalues may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value
should be determined based onthe 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.

General Information
This Chapter gives information about specifications of
the Cummins B3.3 diesel engine used in the Groundsmaster 5900 and 5910. Additionally, some engine repairproceduresaredescribedinthismanual.Described
adjustments and repairs require tools which are commonly available in many service shops.
Some service and repair parts for the engine in your
Groundsmaster are supplied through your Authorized
Toro Distributor. Bepreparedto provide your distributor
with the Toro model andserial number ofyourmachine
to obtain parts.
Operator’s Manual
The Operator’s Manualprovides informationregarding
the operation, general maintenance and maintenance
intervals for your Groundsmaster machine.Refertothe
Operator’s Manualfor additional information when servicing the machine.
Engine Identification
Detailedinformationonengine troubleshooting, testing,
disassembly and reassembly is identified in the Cummins Service Manual that is available from Cummins.
The use of some specialized tools and test equipment
is explained in the CumminsServiceManual.However,
the specialized natureof some engine repairs maydictate that the work be done at an engine repair facility.
The engine dataplate located near the startermotor includes the engine serial number and control parts list
number. The fuel injection dataplate is located on the
fuel injection pump. The ECM dataplate is on the electroniccontrolmoduleattachedtotheflywheelend of the
engine. These engine identification tags will assist in
identifying the correct partsand serviceinformation for
the Cummins engine in your Groundsmaster.
Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM)
TheCumminsenginethat isusedintheGroundsmaster
5900 and 5910 uses an electronic control module
(ECM) for engine management and also to communicatewiththeTECcontrollersandtheoperator Info Center on the machine. All engine ECM electrical
connectors should be plugged intothecontrollerbefore
themachineignitionswitch ismovedfromtheOFF position to either the ON or START position. If the engine
ECM is to be disconnected for any reason, make sure
thattheignitionswitch isintheOFFposition with thekey
removed before disconnecting the ECM. Also, to preventpossiblemoduledamagewhenweldingon the machine,disconnectandremovetheengineECM from the
engine before welding.
Groundsmaster 5900/5910Page 3 -- 2Diesel Engine
Stopping the Engine
IMPORTANT: Before stopping the engine after
mowing or full load operation, allow the engine to
runatlowidlespeedfor five (5) minutes.Thiswillallow the turbocharger and internal engine components to adequately cool down.Failuretoallow this
cooldown period may lead to premature turbocharger and engine failure.
Fuel Injection System
The engine fuelinjection system operatesat high pressures during engine operation. Do not loosen any fuel
system components, fittings or hoses while the engine
is running.
Keepbodyandhandsawayfromleaksinenginefuel injection lines.Use cardboard or paper to find high pressure fuel leaks if they may exist. Leaking fuel under
pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.

Torelievehydraulicpressureinliftcircuit,makesurethat
engine is not runningandhave operator seat occupied.
Turn ignition switch toRUN, depress deck lift switches
to the deck lower positionand then release switch. Return ignition switch to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe
damage to the piston (traction) pump may occur.
If it becomes necessary to tow or push the machine,
move machine in a forward direction at a speed below
2mph(3.2kph),andforaveryshortdistance.Ifthemachine needs to be moved more than 1/4 mile (0.4 km),
machine should be transported on a trailer. The piston
(traction) pumpis equippedwith two(2) bypass valves
that must be opened for towing or pushing (Fig. 2).
IMPORTANT: If the machine must be pushed or
towed in a reverse direction, the check valve in the
4WDcontrolmanifold mustbebypassed.Tobypass
thischeck valve, connect a hydraulic hose between
the traction pump reverse pressure test port (MA)
and the 4WD control manifoldtestport(G2) (Fig. 3).
Toro part numbers 95--8843 (hydraulic hose),
95--0985 (coupler fitting) (2 required) and 340--77
(hydraulic fitting) (2 required) are needed for this
connection.
If towing the machine is necessary, use the following
procedure:
2. Open both bypass valves in traction pump:
A. Loosen the jam nut on bypass valve stem.
B. Thread bypass valve stem in six (6) turns.
C. Tighten the jam nut.
3. Tow or push machine in a forward direction as re-
IMPORTANT: Using the tow option bypasses the
high pressure relief valves. Catastrophic component damage can occur if hydraulic traction circuit
empties or overheats.
4. After moving machine, close both bypass valves:
A. Loosen the jam nut on bypass valve stem.
B. Threadbypassvalvestemallthewayout.Donot
exceed 8 ft--lb (11 N--m) torque to close bypass
valve.
The traction circuit on Groundsmaster 5900 and 5910
machines is aclosed loop systemthatincludes the piston (traction) pump andfour (4) wheel motors.Ifa component in the traction circuit should fail, debris and
contamination from the failed component will circulate
throughout the traction circuit. This contamination can
damageothercomponentsin the circuitsoitmustberemoved to prevent additional component failure.
If acomponent failure occurs in the traction circuit,it is
recommended that the entire traction circuit be disassembled,drainedandthoroughlycleanedtoensure that
all contamination is removed fromthe circuit.If any debrisremainsinthetractioncircuitandthe machine isoperated, the debris can cause additional component
failure.
An alternative method of removing traction circuit contamination would be to temporarily install a high pressurehydraulicoilfilter(seeSpecialTools)intothecircuit.
Thefiltershouldbeusedwhenconnectinghydraulictest
gaugesinordertotesttractioncircuitcomponentsorafter replacing a failed traction circuit component (e.g.
traction(piston)pumporwheelmotor).Thefilterwillensure that contaminates are removed from the closed
loopandthus,donotcauseadditionalcomponentdamage.
Oncethefilter hasbeenplacedin thecircuit,operatethe
tractioncircuittoallow oilflowthroughthecircuit. Thefilter will remove contamination from the traction circuit
during circuit operation.The filter canbe removed from
the machine after contamination has been removed
from the traction circuit.
IMPORTANT: When operatingthetractionsystem with
the highpressure filter installed, make sure that flow is
always directed through the filter before entering a replaced component (e.g. do notpress 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.
Hydraulichoses are subject to extreme conditions such
aspressuredifferentialsduringoperationandexposure
to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage conditionsormishandling duringoperationandmaintenance.
These conditions can causehosedamage 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
Beforedisconnectingorperforminganyworkon
hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in system
(seeRelievingHydraulicSystemPressureinthis
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 hydraulichose,be sure that thehose
is straight (not twisted) before tightening the fittings.
This can be done by observing the imprint (layline) on
thehose.Usetwowrenches;holdthehosestraightwith
one wrench andtightenthe hose swivelnutonto the fitting with the other wrench ( See Hydraulic Hose and
Tube Installation in this section). If the hose has an elbowatoneend, tightentheswivelnuton thatendbefore
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).
Keepbodyandhandsaway 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
withthistype ofinjury.Gangrenemayresultfrom
such an injury.
Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation (O--Ring Face Seal Fitting)
1. Makesurethreadsandsealingsurfacesofthehose/

A variable displacement, bi--directional piston pump is
directly coupled to the engine flywheel to provide hydraulic flow for the traction circuit. The piston pump
swash plate movement is controlled by an electronic
proportionalservoassembly. Pushingthetractionpedal
rotates a potentiometer that sends a signal to the machineTEC--5002 controller. Thecontroller inturnsends
acorresponding PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output
signal to the hydrostat electronic control to rotate the
pumpswashplateaccordinglyto controlthepump’soutput.Theoilfrom thehydrostatisdirected tothefrontand
rear wheel motors through the traction, 4WD and traction flush control manifolds.
Operating pressure on the high pressure side of the
closed loop traction circuitisdetermined by theamount
of load developed at the fixed displacement wheel motors. As the load increases, circuit pressure can increaseto relief valve settings:4330 PSI(299bar)inthe
forward direction and 5330 PSI (368 bar) in reverse. If
pressureexceedsthereliefsetting,oilflowsthrough the
relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed loop
traction circuit.
Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be
measured at test ports located on the hydrostat.
The traction circuit provides operation in either low
speed (four wheel assist) or high speed (two wheel
drive).
The traction pump and wheel motors use a small
amount of hydraulic fluidforinternal lubrication. Fluidis
designed to leak across the pump and motor partsand
into the component case drain. This leakage results in
the loss of hydraulic fluid from the closed loop traction
circuit that must be replaced. The charge circuit is designed to replace this traction circuit leakage.
Thegearpumpsection(P3)thatsuppliesoiltothesteering, lift and coolingfan circuits, also providescharge oil
for thetraction circuit. The gear pump is driven directly
off the traction pump. It provides a constant supply of
charge oil tothe traction circuitto make upfor oil thatis
lost to internal leakage in the traction pump and wheel
motors. Charge pump flow is directed through the
charge oil filter before entering the hydrostat.This filter
has a bypass valve that allows charge oil flow to the
closed traction loop if the filter becomes plugged.
The charge pressure is limitedto 330 PSI(22.8 bar)by
a relief valvelocated in thehydrostat. Charge pressure
canbemeasured atthechargepressuretestport(G)on
the hydrostat.
Withthelowspeedrangeselectedandthetractionpedalpushed in the forward direction, oil from the hydrostat
port MB passes through the traction control valve (see
TractionCircuit: TractionControlin thissection).Oilflow
fromtractioncontrolvalve portM1drivesthefrontwheel
motors in the forward direction and then returns to the
hydrostat. Oil flowfrom traction control valve port M2 is
routed to the P1 port of the 4WD controlvalve where it
is directedto the PD1 cartridge and out of the manifold
to drive the rear wheel motors in the forward direction.
Oil returning from the rear motors re--enters the 4WD
control valve at the M2 port. Flow passes through the
PD2 cartridge, through the CV check valve, out valve
port P2 and back to the hydrostat.
To keep the traction circuit oil properly cooled, a flush
valveisincorporatedintothe tractioncircuit.Wheninthe
forward direction, theflush valve spoolisshifted by forward pressure and allows a small amount of hydraulic
fluidtobleedoffforcoolingofthe closedlooptraction circuit.Thechargesystemreplenishesoilthatisbledfrom
the traction circuit due to the flushing valve operation.
When going down a hill, the tractor becomes an over-running load that drivesthewheelmotors. In this condition, the rear wheel motors could lock up as the oil
pumped from the motors increases pressure as it returns to thehydrostat. To prevent wheel lock up, an adjustable relief valve (RV) in the 4WD control valve
reduces rear motor pressure created in down hill, dynamic braking conditions.
Reverse Direction
The traction circuitoperates essentially the same inreverselowspeedasitdoesintheforwarddirection.However, the flow through the circuit is reversed. Oil flow
fromthe hydrostat port MA isdirectedtothefront wheel
motorsandto4WD control valve port P2. Oil to the front
wheel motors drives them in the reverse direction and
thenreturnstothehydrostatthroughthe traction control
valve.Oilflowtothe4WDcontrolvalveflowsthroughthe
PR pressure reducing valve which limits the down
streampressuretothe rear wheelmotorsto650PSI(45
bar) so the rear wheels will not scuff the turf. This reduced pressure flow passes throughthe PD2cartridge
andoutport M2totherear wheelmotors.Returnoil from
the rear motors re--enters the 4WD controlvalveat port
M1, flows throughthe PD1 cartridge,exits the manifold
at port P1 andreturns to the hydrostatthrough the traction control manifold.
When in the r everse direction, the flush valve spool remains in the unshifted position to prevent any traction
circuit fluid loss.
A variable displacement, bi--directional piston pump is
directly coupled to the engine flywheel to provide hydraulic flow for the traction circuit. The piston pump
swash plate movement is controlled by an electronic

of load developed at the fixed displacement wheel motors. As the load increases, circuit pressure can increaseto relief valve settings:4330 PSI(299bar)inthe
forward direction and 5330 PSI (368 bar) in reverse. If
pressureexceedsthereliefsetting,oilflowsthrough the
relief valve to the low pressure side of the closed loop
traction circuit.
Traction circuit pressure (forward and reverse) can be
measured at test ports located on the hydrostat.
The traction circuit provides operation in either low
speed (four wheel assist) or high speed (two wheel
drive).
The traction pump and wheel motors use a small
amount of hydraulic fluidforinternal lubrication. Fluidis
designed to leak across the pump and motor partsand
into the component case drain. This leakage results in
the loss of hydraulic fluid from the closed loop traction
circuit that must be replaced. The charge circuit is designed to replace this traction circuit leakage.
Thegearpumpsection(P3)thatsuppliesoiltothesteering, lift and coolingfan circuits, also providescharge oil
for thetraction circuit. The gear pump is driven directly
off the traction pump. It provides a constant supply of
charge oil tothe traction circuitto make upfor oil thatis
lost to internal leakage in the traction pump and wheel
motors. Charge pump flow is directed through the
charge oil filter before entering the hydrostat.This filter
has a bypass valve that allows charge oil flow to the
closed traction loop if the filter becomes plugged.
Forward Direction
With the Hi--Lo speed switchin the highrange position,
solenoid valve (S) 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 hydrostat to the rear wheel motors. With flow
blockedtotherearwheel motors, all hydrostatflowisdirectedto the front wheel motors to allowahigher, transport speed in the forward direction.
Without flow to therear wheelmotors, therotating rear
wheels drive the rear wheel motors so they act like a
pump. Inlet oil totherear wheel motorsisprovided by a
check valve that allows charge oil into the rear wheel
motor circuit. Oil leaving the rear wheel motors enters
the4WDcontrolmanifoldatportM2and isdirectedback
to the rear wheelmotorsthrough the PD1cartridgeand
manifold port M1. To allow for rear wheel loop cooling
whenin forward Transport operation, a small amountof
oilexitsthroughtheshiftedPD2cartridgeandreturnsto
the charge circuit.
Reverse Direction
With the Hi--Lo speed switchin the highrange position,
solenoid valve (S) 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. Oil flow from the hydrostat port MA enters the
4WD control manifold at port P2, flows through the PR
pressure reducing valve and is stopped at the shifted
PD2 valve. With flow blockedto the rear wheel motors,
allhydrostatflow is directed to thefrontwheelmotorsto
allow a higher, transportspeed in thereverse direction.
Without flow to therear wheelmotors, therotating rear
wheels drive the rear wheel motors so they act like a
pump. Inlet oil totherear wheel motorsisprovided by a
checkvalveatthe4WD control manifold CHportthatallows charge oil into the rear wheel motor circuit. This
charge oil is routed through the shifted PD2 cartridge
and out manifold port M2to the rearwheel motors. Return flow from the rear wheel motors enters the 4WD
controlmanifoldatport M1,throughtheshiftedPD1 cartridge and and is then directed back to the rear wheel
motors as they turn in the reverse direction.

The charge pressure is limitedto 330 PSI(22.8 bar)by
a relief valvelocated in thehydrostat. Charge pressure

A flow divider is incorporated into the traction circuit to
provide a proportioned flow to the front and rear wheel
motorsforatruefour--wheeldrivesystem.WhentheHi-Lo speed switch is in the Low position and the traction

TheTEC--5001 controllerdoesnotallowTractionAssist
to be activated while the tractor is in the high speed
range in either forward or reverse. The controller also
preventsTractionAssistinthereversedirectionwhen in
low speed range.
To further enhance traction control, the lift/lower circuit
is equipped with a counterbalancesystem.Counterbalanceisachievedby applying a constant pressure to the
base end of the lift cylinders to lift the cutting decks
slightly. This action causes some of the cutting deck
weight to be transferred to the traction unit to improve
traction. An adjustable counterbalance valve (LC) located in the deck lift control manifold controls the
amount of counterbalance pressure in the lift circuit.

Inlowspeed range with the TractionAssistswitchinthe
OFF position, solenoid valve (S) in the traction control
manifold is de--energized allowing the PD cartridge

Inlowspeedrangewiththetractionpedalintheforward

in the traction control manifold is energized allowing
charge pressure to shift the PD cartridge spool. The
shifted PD cartridge blocks oil flow from the hydrostat,

Each of the cutting decks (center, right and left) can be
raised independently with the use of threeswitches on
the armrest console ( Fig. 11). Pressing the rear of a
switch provides aninputfor the TEC--5001 controller to
raise a cutting deck. The controller provides electrical
outputs to solenoids in the lift control manifold to allow
appropriate valve shift to cause a deck to raise.
When the cutting decks are in a stationary position, all
solenoids in the lift control manifold are de--energized.
In this position,the flow fromthe gear pumpthat is proportioned for the lift/lower circuit is by--passed through
the solenoid valve S1, the counterbalance logic cartridge LC and returns to the hydraulic reservoir.

Athreesectiongearpumpiscoupledtothe piston (traction) pump. Hydraulic flow for the PTO mow circuit is
suppliedbytwo(2) sections of the gear pump. The gear
pump section (P1) closest to the piston pump supplies
hydraulic flow inseries to theright and leftdecks, while
the next gear pump section (P2) supplies the center
deck.Eachofthethree(3)cuttingdecksiscontrolledby
a hydraulic control manifold equipped with a solenoid
control valve (S), logic cartridges (LC1) and (LC2), a
brake relief cartridge(RV2) and a circuit relief cartridge
(RV1).
PTO Not Engaged
WhenthePTOswitchisOFForifthedeckisraisedw ith
thePTOswitchON,thePTOmanifoldsolenoidvalve(S)
is not energizedand the solenoidspool is in theneutral
position. The solenoid valve spool in neutral allows a
small amount ofhydraulic flow toreturn to tankthrough
a manifold sensing line which causes a pressure increase that shiftslogic cartridge LC1. The pumpflow is
routed through shifted LC1 and out manifold port P2.
Logic cartridge LC2 remainsin the unshifted positionto
prevent any return flowfromthedeck motor to keepthe
motor from rotating.
Return flow from the front and right deck control manifolds is routed through the oil cooler, oil filter and then
to the gear pump input. Return flow from the left deck
control manifold provides supply for the right deck.
PTO Circuit Relief
Maximum mow circuitpressure is limited for eachdeck
by a relief valve(RV1)in the hydraulic controlmanifold.
Thecenterandleft deckreliefvalvesareset at3000PSI
(207bar)andtherightdeckreliefvalveissetat2000PSI
(138 bar).
Relief valve (RV1) and logic cartridge (LC1) work together as a two stage relief. Whenincreased circuitresistance is met or if a cutting blade should strike an
object, the pressureincrease is feltatthe relief valve.If
the pressure should exceed therelief valve setting, the
reliefvalvewillopen, creatingasmallamount ofhydraulicflow to return to tank throughamanifoldsensingline.
This flow causes a pressure increase that shifts logic
cartridgeLC1anddivertscircuitflowawayfromthedeck
motor to manifold port P2 (Fig. 12). When circuit pressurelowers,reliefvalve(RV1)closeswhichreturnslogic
cartridge LC1 back to its neutral position allowing flow
to return to the deck motor.

Hydraulic
PTO Engaged
When the PTO switch is turned ON and the decks are
lowered, the PTO control manifoldsolenoid valve (S)is
energizedbythe TEC--5002controller.Theshifted solenoid valve spool prevents any sense line flow through
the spool which causes the logic cartridge LC1 to be in
its neutral position. Gear pump flow entering the manifold is routed out manifold port M1 and to the cutting
deck motor.The return flow fromthedeck motor re--enters manifold port M2. Theshifted solenoidvalve spool
allows a small amountofhydraulicflow to return totank
through a manifold sensing line which causes a pressure increase that shifts logic cartridge LC2. Hydraulic
flowisrouted through shifted LC2, out manifold port P2,
through the oilcoolerand filter andthen is routed tothe
gear pump input. The deckmotorcontinuestorotateas
long as solenoid valve (S) is energized.
WhentheoperatorturnsthePTOswitchOFForifadeck
is raised with thePTOswitchON,PTOcontrolmanifold
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 thespool which causes the logiccartridge
LC2 to shift to its neutral position blocking return flow
fromthedeckmotorand slowing thecuttingblades(Fig.
tively turns the deck motor into a pump causing an increaseinpressure as the flow from themotor comesup
againsttheclosedlogiccartridge(LC2).Whenthispressure builds to approximately 600 PSI (41 bar), relief
valve (RV2) opens which allows a small amount of hydraulic flow to return totankthroughamanifoldsensing
line(Fig. 14). This flowcausesapressure increase that
shifts logic cartridge LC2 to once again allow oil flow
from the motor (Fig. 15). When return pressure drops
below 600 PSI (41 bar), relief valve (RV2) reseats and
causesLC2 to close again blockingreturnflowfromthe
deckmotortofurtherslowthe cuttingblades.Thisaction
of the brakerelief valve openingand the logic cartridge
shifting occurs several timesin avery shorttime frame
as the blades finally come to a stop. Once the blades

Athreesectiongearpumpiscoupledtothe piston (traction) pump. The gear pump section (P3) farthest from
the piston pumpsupplies hydraulic flowto the steering/
coolingfancontrolmanifold,theliftcontrolmanifoldand
the traction charge circuit. Hydraulic flow from pump
section (P3) is split between the steering/cooling fan/
charge circuit and the lift/lower circuit by a proportional
flow divider locatedin the liftcontrol manifold. Thisflow
divider splits pump flow approximately 75% for the
steering/cooling fan/charge circuit (10.5 GPM/39.7

Steering Relief Operation
Whenthesteeringcylindersreach theendoftheirstroke
or if a rear wheelshould encounter an obstruction (e.g.

control manifold senses this pressure increase. When
this pressure builds to approximately 2100 PSI (145
bar), relief valve (RV) opens and allows hydraulic flow
toreturntotank.Thisactioncausesflowacrosstherelief
valve side orifice of priority valve (PV) which shifts the

circuit. Without steering input, no oil is flowing through
the steering control valvesoallcircuit oil is availablefor
thecoolingfanmotor.
Oil flow from the priorityvalve (PV) to the cooling fan is
controlled by the proportional relief valve (PRV). The
(PRV) adjusts fan circuit pressure and flow based on a
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal from the
TEC--5002 controller. The controller uses engine coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures to determine the
proper PWMsignal for the (PRV) valve. The fan circuit
flow determines the speed of the cooling fan.
If the fan motor is stalled for any reason, the priority
valve (PRV) has a secondaryfunction as a circuit relief
to limit fan motor pressure to 3300 PSI (228 bar).
When the engine is shut off, the over--running inertia
load of the fan blades keeps driving the fan motor and
turns itinto a pump. The check valve (CV) in the steering/cooling fan control manifold will open to keep the
motor circuit full of oil so the fan motor will not cavitate.
Forward Direction Fan Operation
Oil flow from the priority valve (PV) is sent through the
de--energized solenoid valve (S), out manifold port M1
and then to rotate the cooling fan motor. Return flow
from the motor enters the manifold at port M2, through
the de--energized solenoid valve (S), out manifold port
CH and is then used for traction circuit charge oil.
Reverse Direction Fan Operation
TheTEC--5002 controller canreverse thecooling fan to
clean debris from theradiator,oilcoolerand rear intake
screen. If hydraulic oil and/or engine coolant temperaturesincrease to an unsuitable level, the PWM signalto
the(PRV)valveissentto slow the cooling fan. The controller then energizes solenoidvalve(S) in the steering/
coolingfancontrol manifoldtoreversecooling fanmotor
oil flow so that it runs in the reversedirection. The controller determines the length of time that the fan should
be run in reverse before fan rotation is returned to the
forward direction.

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
disassemblinganyhydrauliccomponents.Alwayskeep
in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hydraulic equipment. Contaminationwillcause excessive
wear of hydraulic components.
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended pressure (PSI/bar) rating as listed in test procedures
couldresultin damagetothegauge andpossible
personal injury from leaking hot oil.
CAUTION
All testing should be performed by two (2)
people.Oneperson should beintheseat tooperate the machine and the other should read and
record test results.
CAUTION
Beforeopeningthehydraulicsystem,operateall
hydraulic controls to relieve system pressure
and avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic oil.
See Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure in the
General Information section of this chapter.
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.
4. Theinletandtheoutlethosesfortesterwithpressure
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 tester load valve completely before
startingtheenginetominimizethepossibilityofdamaging components.
6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make
sure that they arenotcross--threaded beforetightening
them with a wrench.
7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine
partsfromcontactinganddamaging the hosesortester.
8. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. After connecting test equipment, make sure tank is full.
WARNING
Keepbodyand handsawayfrom 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 afew hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gangrene may result from such an injury.
9. Check control linkages for improper adjustment,
binding or broken parts.
10.After installingtestgauges, run engineat 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 returning machinetouse,makesurethat hydraulic reservoir has correct fluid level. Also, check for
hydraulic leaks aftertestequipment has beenremoved
from hydraulic system.
Before beginning any hydraulictest, identify if theproblem is related to the traction circuit, PTO (mow) circuit,
liftcircuitorsteering/engine coolingfancircuit.Oncethe
faulty system hasbeenidentified, perform teststhat relate to that circuit.
1. If a traction circuitproblemexists,consider performing one or more of the following tests: Traction Circuit
ChargePressure,TractionCircuitReliefPressure,Rear
Traction Circuit (RV) Relief Pressure, Traction Circuit
Reducing Valve (PR) Pressure and/or Counterbalance
Pressure Tests.
2. If aPTO (mow) circuitproblem exists, considerperformingone or more of the followingtests: Cutting Deck
Circuit Pressure.
3. If a lift circuit problem exists, consider performing
oneor more of the following tests: Lift/LowerCircuit Relief Pressure, Counterbalance Pressure and/or Gear
Pump (P3) Flow Tests.
4. If a steering/engine cooling fan circuit problem exists, consider performing one or more of the following
tests: Steering Circuit Relief Pressure, Steering Cylinder Internal Leakage and/or Gear Pump (P3) Flow
Tests.
