Safety Instructions

The ProCore 648 is designed and tested to offer safe service when operated and maintained properly. Al­though hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern and proper training of the person­nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte­nance of the machine can result in injury or death. To re­duce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.

Before Operating

WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be­come familiar with the controls and know how to stop the machine and engine quickly. Additional copies of the Operator’s Manual are available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to ensure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so engine cannot be started unless traction lever is in NEU­TRAL and coring head is DISENGAGED.

While Operating

1. Operator should be standing at the side console when starting the engine and at the handle when operat­ing the machine. Stay away from the coring head when it is engaged.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction lever is in neutral.
4. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it careful­ly:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en­gine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
5. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
6. Before leaving the operator’s position:
A. Ensure that traction lever is in neutral.
B. Raise coring head and wait for coring head to stop.
3. After engine is started, release parking brake and apply no pressure to traction lever. Machine must not move. If movement is evident, the traction linkage is ad­justed incorrectly . Shut engine off and adjust traction linkage until machine does not move when traction lever is released (see Operator’s Manual).
4. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade­quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly.
Safety
Page 1 -- 2
C. Set parking brake. Stop engine and remove key from ignition switch.
7. Anytime the machine is parked (short or long term), install the service latch to secure the coring head in the raised position. This eliminates the risk of the coring head accidentally lowering to the ground.
8. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or blocked.

Maintenance and Service

8. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or blocked.
1. Before servicing or making adjustments, position machine on level surface, raise coring head, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch. Install the service latch to secure the coring head in the raised position.
2. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
3. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as near a water heat­er or furnace.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition be­fore applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
5. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks in hy­draulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Hydraulic fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
6. Before disconnecting any hydraulic component or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pres­sure in system must be relieved. See Relieving Hydrau­lic System Pressure in the General Information section of Chapter 4 – Hydraulic System.
7. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de­sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. Use care when checking or servicing the coring head: wear gloves and use caution.
9. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt.
11. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor setting. To assure safety and accuracy, check maximum engine speed with a tachometer.
12.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the engine crankcase.
13.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. Disconnect negative battery cable first and positive bat­tery cable last. If battery voltage is required for trouble­shooting or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery. Reconnect positive battery cable first and nega­tive battery cable last.
14.Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face, eyes and clothing when working with a battery.
15.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the battery.
16.At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed to all applicable safety standards. To assure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement parts and ac­cessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with the safety standards, and the warranty may be voided.
17.When changing tires or performing other service, use correct blocks, hoists and jacks. Make sure ma­chine is parked on a solid level floor such as a concrete floor. Prior to raising the machine, remove any attach­ments that may interfere with the safe and proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood blocks to support the raised ma­chine. If the machine is not properly supported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may move or fall, which may result in personal injury (see Jacking Instructions).
Safety
10.If engine must be running to perform maintenance or make an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and oth­er parts of the body away from all moving machine parts. Keep bystanders away.

Torque Specifications

Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the following tables. For critical applications, as determined by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that is unique to the application is clearly identified and spe­cified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners which do not have a 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, hardness of the surface underneath the fastener’s head or similar condition which affects the installation.

Fastener Identification

As noted in the following tables, torque values should be reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value should be determined based on the aluminum or brass material strength, fastener size, length of thread en­gagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be per­formed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut) and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn. Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until the lines match up.

Introduction

This Chapter gives information about specifications and repair of the Kohler engine used in the ProCore 648.
General engine maintenance procedures are described in your Operator’s Manual. Information on engine trou­bleshooting, testing, disassembly, and reassembly is identified in the Kohler Engine Service Manual that is in­cluded at the end of this section.
Most repairs and adjustments require tools which are commonly available in many service shops. Special tools are described in the Kohler Engine Service Manu­al. The use of some specialized test equipment is ex­plained. However, the cost of the test equipment and the specialized nature of some repairs may dictate that the work be done at an engine repair facility.
Service and repair parts for Kohler engines are supplied through your local Kohler dealer or distributor.

General Information

Hydraulic Hoses

Hydraulic hoses are subject to extreme conditions such as pressure differentials during operation and exposure to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage condi­tions, or mishandling during operation and mainte­nance. These conditions can cause damage or premature deterioration. Some hoses are more suscep­tible to these conditions than others. Inspect the hoses frequently for signs of deterioration or damage.
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work on hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in system. See Relieving Hydraulic System Pres­sure in this section.
When replacing a hydraulic hose, be sure that the hose is straight (not twisted) before tightening the fittings. This can be done by observing the imprint on the hose. Use two wrenches; hold the hose straight with one wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting with the other wrench.

Hydraulic Fitting Installation

O–Ring Face Seal
1. Make sure both threads and sealing surfaces are free of burrs, nicks, scratches, or any foreign material.
2. Make sure the O–ring is installed and properly seated in the groove. It is recommended that the O–ring be replaced any time the connection is opened.
3. Lubricate the O–ring with a light coating of oil.
4. Put the tube and nut squarely into position on the face seal end of the fitting and tighten the nut until finger tight.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgi­cally removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gangrene may result from such an injury.

Pushing/Pulling Machine

IMPORTANT: If push/pull limits are exceeded, se­vere damage to the piston (traction) pump may oc­cur.
If it becomes necessary to push/pull the machine, push/ pull at a speed below 1 mph (1.6 kph), and for a dis- tance less than 100 feet (30.5 meters). The piston (traction) pump is equipped with a by–pass valve that needs to be rotated counterclockwise (loosened) one turn for pushing/pulling. The by–pass valve should be torqued from 95 to 120 in–lb (10.7 to 13.6 N–m) before the machine is returned to operation.
See Operator’s Manual for pushing/pulling procedures.

Check Hydraulic Fluid

The ProCore 648 hydraulic system is designed to oper­ate on anti–wear hydraulic fluid. The reservoir (Fig. 8) holds about 1.75 gallons (6.6 liters) of hydraulic fluid.
Check level of hydraulic fluid daily.

See Operator’s Manual for fluid level checking proce­dure and hydraulic oil recommendations.

Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure

Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hy­draulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system must be relieved. With the coring head fully raised, turn key switch to OFF and allow engine to stop. Secure cor­ing head with service latch.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, move traction lever to both forward and reverse directions.
Figure 8
1. Hydraulic reservoir 2. Hydraulic reservoir cap
To relieve lift system pressure, turn key switch to ON (engine not running). Move traction lever to forward di­rection and depress lower switch on handle to lower cor­ing head onto service latch. Return key switch to OFF when pressure has been relieved. Remove key from the ignition switch.

Working Pressure Low Pressure (Charge) Return or Suction Flow
Rev. C
ProCore 648Hydraulic System Page 4 -- 8
Page 43
Traction Circuit
The traction (piston) pump (P1) is driven by the engine through the pulleys and pump drive belt. The traction cir­cuit of the hydraulic system acts essentially as a closed loop. Taking its suction directly from the return side of the wheel motors of the traction circuit, the traction (piston) pump supplies oil flow to the wheel motors through the supply side of the traction circuit.
The gear pump (P2) is attached to the traction pump and is directly coupled to it. The gear pump provides charge oil to replace small amounts of traction pump internal oil leakage. Hydraulic charge oil is supplied to the traction circuit from the gear pump, through the lift control man­ifold (manifold port P, proportional valve PV and man­ifold port CHG) and past the charge circuit check valve in the return side of the traction circuit. Proportional valve PV ensures that sufficient gear pump flow is al­ways available for the charge oil needs of the traction cir­cuit. Gear pump flow in excess of charge circuit needs is available to raise/lower the coring head. After charge and raise/lower requirements are met, excess P2 flow is directed to the hydraulic reservoir through the hydrau­lic oil filter.
Forward Direction
Reverse Direction
The traction circuit operates essentially the same in re­verse as it does in the forward direction. However, the flow through the circuit is reversed. When the traction le­ver is moved to the reverse position, the linkage from the lever positions the swash plate in the traction motor so oil flows out the upper port of the pump. Oil flow from the pump goes to the wheel motors (rear motors first and then front motor) and turns them in the reverse direction. Maximum reverse traction pressure is limited by a 2900 PSI (200 Bar) relief valve located in the top of the pump assembly.
Oil flowing from the wheel motors returns to the bottom port of the traction pump and is continuously pumped out the top port as long as the traction lever is held in the reverse direction.
With the engine running and the traction lever in the neu­tral position, the traction pump supplies no flow to the wheel motors. When the traction lever is moved to the forward position, the linkage from the lever positions the swash plate in the traction pump so oil flows out the low­er port of the pump. Oil flow from the pump is directed to the wheel motors (front motor first and then rear mo­tors) and turns them in the forward direction. Maximum forward traction pressure is limited by a 2900 PSI (200 Bar) relief valve located in the bottom of the pump as­sembly.
Oil flowing from the rear wheel motors returns to the top port of the traction pump and is continuously pumped out the bottom port as long as the traction lever is held in the forward direction.

ProCore 648Hydraulic System Page 4 – 10

Coring Head Raise/Lower Circuits
The gear pump (P2) is attached to the traction pump (P1) and is directly coupled to it. The gear pump supplies hydraulic flow for maintaining charge pressure of 40 PSI (2.8 Bar) to the low pressure side of the traction circuit and also for raising the aerator coring head. The gear pump takes its suction from the hydraulic reservoir.
Maximum lift/lower circuit pressure is limited to 1000 PSI (69 Bar) by relief valve R1 in the lift control manifold.
Flow from gear pump (P2) goes to the lift control man­ifold (port P) and is directed to pressure compensating valve (PV). Valve PV ensures that sufficient hydraulic flow is always available to the traction circuit for charge oil. When not raising the coring head, gear pump flow in excess of charge circuit needs is directed to the hydrau­lic oil filter and then returns to the hydraulic reservoir.
Raise Coring Head
When the coring head is to be raised (e.g. traction lever is released from forward or raise/lower switch is pressed to raise), solenoid valves SVR and SVQ in the hydraulic manifold are energized. The valve shift of SVR prevents gear pump flow return to the reservoir. The valve shift of SVQ allows oil flow to bypass the control manifold orifice (ORF1) for more immediate cylinder movement. Oil flows through the load holding check valve in solenoid valve SVL to direct gear pump flow out of control man­ifold port CYL to the lift cylinder. Hydraulic pressure against the lift cylinder rod extends the cylinder and raises the coring head.
When the coring head reaches the aerating position, so­lenoid valves SVQ and SVL in the hydraulic manifold are de–energized. The valve shift of SVQ removes the by­pass to orifice (ORF1). The valve shift of SVL prevents oil flow from the lift cylinder. Without flow from the lift cyl­inder, the cylinder and coring head are held in place.
True Core
TM
Ground Following System
When aerating with the ground follow switch in the ON
TM
position, the True Core
Ground Following System hy­draulically adjusts the coring head position to ensure aerating depth consistency over undulating surfaces. The head high limit and head low limit switches on the depth actuator assembly are opened or closed depend­ing on movement of the turf guards over ground irregu­larities. These switches are used as inputs for the aerator control module to energize or de–energize sole­noid valves SVR and SVL in the hydraulic manifold. As these solenoid valves are energized or de–energized, the coring head is raised or lowered as described above.
The control manifold orifice (ORF1) restricts oil flow to and from the lift cylinder to allow more accurate ground following. Solenoid valve SVQ is always de–energized when coring head is in the lowered, aerating position.
If the ground follow switch is turned to the OFF position, the coring head lowers to the manual coring head stops and the ground following operation is not functional. So­lenoid valve SVL is always energized while aerating when the ground follow switch is in the OFF position.
System
Hydraulic
When the raise input ends (e.g. coring head is fully raised or raise/lower switch is released), solenoid valves SVR and SVQ in the hydraulic manifold are de– energized. The valve shift of SVR allows flow return to the reservoir. The valve shift of SVQ removes the by­pass to orifice (ORF1). The load holding check valve in solenoid valve SVL prevents oil flow from the lift cylinder. Without flow to or from the lift cylinder, the cylinder and coring head positions are held in place.
Lower Coring Head
When the coring head is to be lowered (e.g. raise/lower switch is pressed to lower), solenoid valves SVQ and SVL in the hydraulic manifold are energized. The valve shift of SVQ allows oil flow to bypass the control man­ifold orifice (ORF1) for more immediate cylinder move­ment. The valve shift of SVL allows a path for oil flow from the lift cylinder. The weight of the coring head and tension of the weight transfer springs cause the lift cylin­der to retract and the coring head to lower. Oil flowing from the retracting lift cylinder returns to the reservoir.

The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic sys­tem is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing equipment and a thorough understanding of the com­plete hydraulic system.
A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat or noise has a potential for failure. Should either of these conditions be noticed, immediately stop the machine, turn off the engine, locate the cause of the trouble, and correct it before allowing the machine to be used again.

Testing

The most effective method for isolating problems in the hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits during various operational checks (see Special Tools section in this Chapter).
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended pres­sure (PSI/Bar) rating as listed in test procedures could result in damage to gauge and possible personal injury from leaking hot oil.
Before Performing Hydraulic Tests
All obvious areas such as oil supply, filter, binding link­age, loose fasteners, improper adjustments or improper operation must be checked before assuming that a hy­draulic component is the source of the problem being experienced.
Precautions For Hydraulic Testing
WARNING
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved. See Relieving Hydrau­lic System Pressure in the General Information section of this chapter.
1. Thoroughly clean the machine before disconnecting or disassembling any hydraulic components. Always keep in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic system contamination will cause excessive wear of hydraulic components.
2. Put caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left open or exposed during testing or removal of components.
3. The engine must be in good operating condition. Use a tachometer when making a hydraulic test. Engine speed will affect the accuracy of hydraulic test results.
4. Because the hydraulic pump is belt driven, check for proper pump belt adjustment before performing any hy­draulic test. Check pump speed with a phototac when performing hydraulic pump flow tests.
5. To prevent damage to tester or components, the inlet and the outlet hoses must be properly connected, and not reversed (when using tester with flow and pressure capabilities).
6. When using hydraulic tester with flow and pressure capabilities, completely open load valve in hydraulic tester before starting engine. This will minimize the pos­sibility of component damage.
7. Install fittings finger tight, far enough to insure that they are not cross–threaded, before tightening with a wrench.
8. To prevent hose or tester damage, position the tester hoses so that moving machine parts will not make con­tact with them.

Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and 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.

Service and Repairs

General Precautions for Removing and Installing Hydraulic System Components

Before Repair or Replacement of Components
1. Before removing any parts from the hydraulic sys­tem, park machine on a level surface, fully raise coring head, engage parking brake, stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch. Secure coring head with service latch.
2. Clean machine before disconnecting, removing or disassembling any hydraulic components. Make sure hydraulic components, hoses connections and fittings are cleaned thoroughly. Always keep in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hydraulic equipment.
CAUTION
Operate all 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.
3. Put caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines, hydraulic fit­tings or hydraulic components left open or exposed to prevent hydraulic system contamination.
4. Put labels on disconnected hydraulic lines and hoses for proper installation after repairs are completed.
After Repair or Replacement of Components
1. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir and add cor­rect oil if necessary. Drain and refill hydraulic system reservoir and change oil filter if component failure was severe or system is contaminated (see Flush Hydraulic System).
2. Lubricate O–rings and seals with clean hydraulic oil before installing hydraulic components.
3. Make sure caps or plugs are removed from the hy­draulic tubes, hydraulic fittings and components before reconnecting.
4. Use proper tightening methods when installing hy­draulic hoses and fittings (see Hydraulic Fitting Installa­tion in the General Information section of this chapter).
5. After repairs, check control linkages and cables for proper adjustment, binding and/or broken parts.
6. After disconnecting or replacing any hydraulic com­ponents, operate machine functions slowly until air is out of system (see Hydraulic System Start Up in this sec­tion).
7. Check for hydraulic oil leaks. Shut off engine and cor­rect leaks if necessary. Check oil level in hydraulic reser­voir and add correct oil if necessary.
5. Note the position of hydraulic fittings (especially el­bow fittings) on hydraulic components before removal. Mark parts if necessary to make sure they will be aligned properly when reinstalling hydraulic hoses and tubes.

Check Hydraulic Lines and Hoses

Check hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked
WARNING
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is in­jected into the skin, it must be surgically re­moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gangrene may result from such an injury.

Page 65

Flush Hydraulic System

IMPORTANT: Flush the hydraulic system any time there is a severe component failure or the system is contaminated (oil appears milky or black or con­tains metal particles).
IMPORTANT: Flush hydraulic system when chang­Ing from petroleum base hydraulic fluid, such as Mobil 424, to biodegradable fluid, such as Mobil EAL Envirosyn H. Operate machine under normal operating conditions for at least four (4) hours be­fore draining.
1. Park machine on a level surface, fully raise coring head, engage parking brake, stop engine and remove key from the ignition switch. Secure coring head with service latch.
2. Remove pump belt cover from machine (see Opera­tor’s Manual).
NOTE: The hydraulic reservoir will drain when the hy­draulic oil filter is removed from the hydraulic manifold.
3. Clean area around filter mounting area (Fig. 26). Re­move filter from hydraulic manifold and drain reservoir into a suitable container. Drain hydraulic system. Drain all hoses, tubes and components while the system is warm. Discard filter.
9. Reattach both spark plug wires.
10.Start engine and let it idle at low speed for a minimum of two (2) minutes.
11. Increase engine speed to high idle for minimum of one (1) minute under no load.
12.Lower and raise coring head several times.
13.Shut off engine and check for hydraulic oil leaks. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir and add correct oil if necessary.
14.Install pump belt cover to machine (see Operator’s Manual).
15.Operate the machine for two (2) hours under normal operating conditions.
16.Check condition of hydraulic oil. If the fluid shows any signs of contamination, or if you are changing to biode­gradable fluid, repeat steps 1 through 13 again.
17.Resume normal operation and follow recommended maintenance intervals.
4. Inspect and clean reservoir (see Hydraulic Reservoir in this section).
5. Make sure filter mounting surface is clean. Apply hy­draulic oil to gasket on the new filter. Screw filter on until gasket contacts mounting surface of manifold, then tighten filter half a turn.
NOTE: Use biodegradable fluid, such as Mobil EAL En­virosyn H, for this step if you are changing to this type of fluid. Use only hydraulic fluids specified in Operator’s Manual. Other fluids could cause system damage.
6. Fill hydraulic reservoir.
7. Disconnect and ground both spark plug wires to pre­vent engine from starting.
8. Turn ignition key switch to start position; engage starter for ten (10) seconds to prime hydraulic pumps. Repeat this step again.

Hydraulic System Start--up
NOTE: When initially starting the hydraulic system with
new or rebuilt components such as the hydraulic pump, wheel motors or lift cylinder, it is important that this start up procedure be used. This procedure reduces the chance of damaging the hydraulic system or its compo nents from not purging the system of air.
1. After the hydraulic system components have been properly installed and if the hydraulic pump was rebuilt or replaced, make sure traction pump housing is at least half full of clean hydraulic oil (see Operator’s Manual for oil specifications).
2. Make sure all hydraulic connections and lines are se­cured tightly.
3. Make sure hydraulic reservoir is full. Add correct oil if necessary (see Operator’s Manual). Drain, flush and refill hydraulic system reservoir and change oil filter if component failure was severe or if system is contami nated.
4. After repairs, check control linkage for proper adjust­ment, binding or broken parts. Correct any problems be­fore proceeding.
5. Disconnect and ground both engine spark plug wires to prevent engine from starting.
C. Attach a heavy chain between the rear of the ma­chine frame and something immovable in the shop to

prevent the machine from moving during the bleed ing process.
IMPORTANT: Make sure oil flow indicator arrow on the flow gauge is showing that oil will flow from the test port of traction line and through the tester.
D. Connect inlet end of hydraulic tester with flow me­ter and pressure gauges to test port in upper traction line (Fig. 27). Place outlet end of tester in a drain con tainer. Make sure that flow control valve on the tester is fully closed.
E. Check hydraulic reservoir level and fill if neces­sary.
F. Start engine and move traction lever to the for­ward direction to allow the wheels to rotate slowly.
NOTE: Bleeding the traction circuit might require approximately five (5) minutes of running.
IMPORTANT: When bleeding the traction circuit, tester valve should be barely open which will al low a slow stream of oil from tester outlet.

6. Make sure traction lever is in neutral. Turn ignition key switch to start; engage starter for ten (10) seconds to prime hydraulic pump. Repeat this step again.
7. Reattach both spark plug wires.
8. Apply parking brake and make sure traction lever is in neutral. Start engine and run at low idle. The charge pump should pick up oil and fill the hydraulic system.
9. If traction circuit was repaired (e.g. hydrostat or wheel motor was replaced), bleed the traction circuit to evacuate air from the circuit:
NOTE: Before bleeding the traction circuit, review the following procedure (steps A through L) completely.
A. Stop engine and relieve pressure in traction cir­cuit by moving traction lever to both forward and re­verse direction.
B. Jack up machine from floor and support machine with jack stands or blocking to allow wheels to turn freely.
G. While traction lever is held in the forward direction (wheels turning), have second person slowly open valve on tester very slightly to allow air out of traction circuit. Air in the traction circuit will be indicated by foamy oil coming from the outlet end of the tester.
H. While bleeding the traction circuit, if more than .5 gallon (1.9 liters) of oil is removed, close tester valve and release traction lever. Check hydraulic oil reser voir level and fill if necessary. Continue with bleeding procedure.
I. When all evidence of foamy oil has been evacuat­ed from the traction circuit, close tester valve, re­lease traction lever and stop engine.
J. Remove tester from traction circuit test port. Check hydraulic reservoir level and fill if necessary.
K. If the hydrostat or a wheel motor was replaced or rebuilt, start engine and operate the traction system so the wheels rotate slowly for 10 minutes.
L. Lower machine to ground. Remove chain from rear of machine.

Hydraulic Manifold Service
1. Make sure the manifold is clean before removing any cartridge valve.
2. If solenoid cartridge is being serviced, remove nut securing solenoid to the cartridge valve. Carefully slide solenoid off the valve.
CAUTION
Operate all 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.
IMPORTANT: Use care when handling the cartridge valve. Slight bending or distortion of the stem tube can cause binding and malfunction.
3. Remove cartridge valve with a deep socket wrench. Note correct location for o–rings, sealing rings and backup rings. Remove and discard seal kit from valve.
CAUTION
Abrupt movement of internal spools can cause stored fluid to be released suddenly.
6. Clean cartridge valve by submerging valve in clean mineral spirits to flush out contamination. Particles as fine as talcum powder can affect the operation of high pressure hydraulic valves. If cartridge design allows, use a wood or plastic probe to push the internal spool in and out 20 to 30 times to flush out contamination. Be ex­tremely careful not to damage cartridge. Use com­pressed air for cleaning.
7. Reinstall the cartridge valve:
A. Lubricate new seal kit components with clean hy­draulic oil and install on valve. The o–rings, sealing rings and backup rings must be arranged properly on the cartridge valve for proper operation and sealing.
IMPORTANT: Use care when handling the valve cartridge. Slight bending or distortion of the stem tube can cause binding and malfunction.
4. Visually inspect the manifold port for damage to the sealing surfaces, damaged threads and contamination.
5. Visually inspect cartridge valve for damaged sealing surfaces and contamination.
A. Contamination may cause valves to stick or hang up. Contamination can become lodged in small valve orifices or seal areas causing malfunction.
B. If valve sealing surfaces appear pitted or dam­aged, the hydraulic system may be overheating or there may be water in the system.
CAUTION
Use eye protection such as goggles when using compressed air for cartridge valve cleaning.
B. Thread cartridge valve carefully into correct man­ifold port. The valve should go in easily without bind­ing.
C. Torque cartridge valve using a deep socket to val­ues identified in Figure 40.
8. If solenoid cartridge was removed, carefully install solenoid coil onto the cartridge valve. Install nut and torque nut to 5 ft–lb (6.8 N–m).
9. After assembly, if problems still exist, remove valve and clean again or replace valve.

Circuit Operation

NOTE: This section provides information concerning
three sequential, electrical circuits that are used on the ProCore 648. Use these descriptions along with the electrical diagrams and schematics found in Chapter 8 – Electrical Diagrams to better understand circuit opera­tion.
OK to Lower Circuit (Fig. 1)
The ”OK to lower” circuit is one of the inputs used by the aerator control module to allow current output to the raise and lower hydraulic solenoid valves (SVL, SVR and SVQ). This circuit is composed of the manual raise/ lower switch, the neutral switch (latch) relay, the latching relay, the reverse proximity switch and diode D1. ”OK to lower” circuit protection is provided by fuse F3.
Traction Lever in Neutral or Reverse
When the traction lever is in either the neutral or reverse position, the reverse proximity switch is closed which al­lows the neutral switch (latch) relay to be energized. This energized relay prevents an ”OK to lower” input for the aerator control so the coring head remains in the raised position. The ”OK to lower” LED on the aerator control module will not be illuminated.
Begin Aerating (Traction Lever in Forward)
To begin aerating, the operator moves the traction lever to the forward direction which opens the reverse proxim­ity switch and de–energizes the neutral switch (latch) relay. When the manual raise/lower switch is pressed to the lower position, a complete circuit is formed to allow the latching relay to be energized which allows an ”OK to lower” input for the aerator control. The ”OK to lower” LED on the aerator control module will be illuminated. The aerator control module will provide output to the SVQ and SVL solenoid valves to lower the coring head.
Aerating (Traction Lever in Forward)
Once the ”OK to lower” circuit has initially been closed by the manual raise/lower switch, the latching relay and diode D1 allow a latch circuit to keep the latching relay energized. The manual raise/lower switch in the middle, aerate position along with the energized latching relay provide a closed path for the ”OK to lower” input to the aerator control module. The ”OK to lower” LED on the aerator control module will continue to be illuminated while aerating.
The ”OK to lower” input to the aerator control module will remain closed until either the operator presses the manual raise/lower switch to the raise position or the traction lever is moved to the neutral or reverse position.

Lockout Circuit (Fig. 2)
The lockout circuit is used on the ProCore to provide cur­rent for the raise and lower hydraulic solenoid valves (SVL, SVR and SVQ). This circuit is composed of the transport limit #2 proximity switch, the lockout relay, the lockout latch relay, the lift/reset switch and diode D2. When this circuit is closed, current is provided to the aer­ator control module to allow energizing of the solenoid valves. Lockout circuit protection is provided by fuse F3.
Coring Head Raised
With the coring head in the raised position, the transport limit #2 proximity switch is closed which completes the lockout circuit. Hydraulic solenoid valve operation is possible at this time which allows the coring head to be lowered and aeration to occur.
Aerating
Once the lockout circuit has initially been closed by transport limit #2 proximity switch, the lockout latch relay and diode D2 allow a latch circuit to keep the lockout relay energized and hydraulic solenoid valve operation to continue while aerating.
Coring Head Stranded
If the coring head is stranded in the lowered position (e.g. the engine runs out of gas while aerating), the transport limit #2 proximity switch will be open and will prevent the relays in the lockout circuit from energizing. In this situation, no current will be available to the sole­noid valves so the coring head cannot be raised. Press­ing the lift/reset switch provides the necessary ground path for completing the lockout circuit. Once the lockout circuit is closed, solenoid valve operation is resumed to allow the coring head to raise.

Electric Clutch Circuit (Fig. 3)
The electric clutch circuit is used on the ProCore to pro­vide current for the electric clutch which rotates the cor­ing crankshaft. This circuit is composed of the aeration #3 proximity switch, the clutch relay, the electric clutch and diode D3. The electric clutch circuit relies on the op­eration of the ”OK to lower” circuit for completing the clutch circuit (See OK to Lower Circuit in this section). Electric clutch circuit protection is provided by fuse F2.
Not Aerating (Clutch not Engaged)
Whenever the coring head is in the raised position, the aeration #3 proximity switch is open and the clutch relay is not energized. The electric clutch will not be energized so rotation of the coring crankshaft does not occur.
TO IGNITION SWITCH TERMINAL ”L”

NOT AERATING (CLUTCH NOT ENGAGED)
Aerating (Clutch Engaged)
The clutch relay will be energized as the coring head is lowered to the point when the aeration #3 proximity switch closes. This closed proximity switch provides a complete circuit if the ”OK to lower” circuit is closed. Once the clutch relay is energized, current is provided to the clutch and rotation of the coring crankshaft be­gins.
The clutch will continue to be energized until either:
A. The coring head is raised which opens the aera­tion #3 proximity switch.
B. The “OK to lower” circuit opens (e.g. the operator releases the traction lever while aerating).

Special Tools

Multimeter

The multimeter can test electrical components and cir­cuits for current (amps), resistance (ohms) or voltage.
NOTE: Toro recommends the use of a DIGITAL Volt– Ohm–Amp multimeter when testing electrical circuits. The high impedance (internal resistance) of a digital me­ter in the voltage mode will make sure that excess cur­rent is not allowed through the meter. This excess current can cause damage to circuits not designed to carry it.

Battery Terminal Protector

Electrical System Quick Checks

Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)

Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the battery terminals.
Set the multimeter to the DC volts setting. The battery should be at a temperature of 60 C). The ignition key should be in the OFF position and all accessories turned off. Connect the positive (+) me­ter lead to the positive battery post and the negative (–) meter lead to the negative battery post.
NOTE: This test provides a relative condition of the bat­tery. Load testing of the battery will provide additional and more accurate information.
o
to 100o F (16o to 38

Charging System Test

This is a simple test used to determine if the charging system is functioning. It will tell you if a charging system has an output, but not its capacity.
Tool required: Digital multimeter set to DC volts.
Test instructions: Connect the positive (+) meter lead to the positive battery post and the negative (–) meter lead to the negative battery post. Leave the test leads con­nected and record the battery voltage.
Voltage Measured
12.68 v (or higher) Fully charged (100%)
o
12.45 v 75% charged
12.24 v 50% charged
12.06 v 25% charged
11.89 v 0% charged
Start the engine and run at 3400 RPM (high idle). Allow the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record the battery voltage.
Test results should be (example):
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.
Initial Battery Voltage = 12.25 v
Battery Voltage after 3 Minute Charge = 12.80 v
Battery Charge Level
NOTE: Upon starting the engine, the battery voltage
will drop and then should increase once the engine is running.
NOTE: Depending upon the condition of the battery charge and battery temperature, the charging system voltage will increase at different rates as the battery charges.

Check Operation of Safety Interlock System

CAUTION
Do not disconnect interlock switches. They are for the operator’s protection. Check operation of the switches daily to make sure the interlock system is operating correctly. If a switch is not operating properly, adjust or replace it before operating the machine.
The Safety Interlock System of the ProCore 648 ensur­es the following operations:
1. The engine should crank only when the traction lever is in the neutral position.
2. When aerating, if the traction lever is released from the forward position (moved to the neutral or reverse position), the coring head should automatically raise and the coring crankshaft should stop rotating.
Interlock switch operation is described in the ProCore 648 Operator’s Manual. The ProCore is equipped with an Aerator Control Module which monitors interlock switch operation. Information on this Control Module is described in the Operator’s Manual and in the Compo­nent Testing section of this Chapter. Testing of individual interlock switches is included in the Component Testing section of this Chapter.
3. If the coring head is stranded in the lowered position, the coring head will not raise unless the lift reset switch is depressed.
