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).

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).

Maintenance
Maintenance procedures and recommended service intervals for the ProCore 648 are covered in the Operator’s Manual. Refer to that publication when performing
regular equipment maintenance. Refer to the Engine
Operator’s Manual for additional engine specific maintenance procedures.
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.

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.

5. Mark the nut and fitting body. Hold the body with a
wrench. Use another wrench to tighten the nut to the correct Flats From Finger Tight (F.F.F.T.). The markings on
the nut and fitting body will verify that the connection has
been tightened.
NOTE: Installation torque values for non–adjustable fittings are listed in Figure 4. These torque values should
only be used when a fitting can be accessed with a
socket. Use of an offset wrench (e.g. crowfoot wrench)
will affect torque wrench accuracy and should not be
used.

Step 3
7. Hold the fitting in the desired position with a wrench
and turn the jam nut with another wrench to the correct
Flats From Finger Tight (F.F.F.T.) (Step 4).
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.

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.

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.
System
Hydraulic
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.
ProCore 648Hydraulic SystemPage 4 – 17
9. Check and adjust the oil level in the reservoir after
connecting hydraulic test equipment.
10.Check the control linkage for improper adjustment,
binding or broken parts. Make sure control linkage is
functioning properly before conducting hydraulic tests.
11. All hydraulic tests should be made with the hydraulic
oil at normal operating temperature.

Procedure for Charge Pressure
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the coring head
fully raised. Make sure engine is off and the parking
brake is engaged. Secure coring head with service
latch.
3. Read Precautions For Hydraulic Testing in this section.
Test:
CAUTION
C. While machine is moving, monitor the charge
pressure reading on the pressure gauge (do not activate the lift control while monitoring pressure).
D. The charge pressure should drop no more than
15% from initial test reading (Step 8 above). A pressure drop of more than 15% indicates a traction circuit problem (e.g. damaged or leaking proportional
valve (PV), worn or damaged piston pump (P1)).
11. Shut off engine.
12.Disconnect pressure gauge from hydraulic control
manifold port G2.
Operate all hydraulic controls to relieve system
pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic oil.
4. Connect pressure gauge to the hydraulic control
manifold G2 port quick fitting (Fig. 14).
CAUTION
If using pressure gauge with hose, make sure
that hose is free of the left, rear wheel after
installation.
5. Make sure that traction lever is in neutral and the
parking brake is engaged.
6. Start engine and operate engine at full speed (3400
50 RPM).

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.

lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration and/or chemical deterioration.
Make all necessary repairs before operating machine.
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 thetractioncircuitmightrequire
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 bleedingthetractioncircuit,reviewthe
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.

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

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.

Aerating (Clutch Engaged)
The clutch relay will be energized as the coring head is

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.

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.
Difference = +0.55 v

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.
