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
thelinesmatchup.

Power is transferred from t he engine to the transaxle by
a variable clutch system that consists of two (2) clutches
connected by a drive belt. The drive clutch responds to
engine speed and is mounted to the engine crankshaft.
The driven clutch responds to changes in load to the rear
axle and is mounted to the transaxle input shaft.
2
Figure 1
7. Fixed sheave (driven clutch)
8. CVT drive belt
The two (2) clutches work together to automatically up-shift and back--shift as changes in load and speed occur.
This shifting changes the turning ratio between the drive
and driven clutches and allows the engine to operate at
optimum efficiency.
Workman MDX--DPage 4 -- 4Drive Train
Drive Clutch Operation
The operation of the drive clutch is affected by engine
shaft speed. With the engine not turning, the CVT drive
belt rests low within the drive clutch sheaves as the pressure of the spring holds the sheaves apart. As the engine increases in speed, the clutch weights attached to
the moveable sheave move outward as they spin about
the engine driveshaft. The outward movement of the
clutch weights presses against the rollers and overcomes spring pressure through the spider assembly, which
forces the moveable sheave closer to the fixed sheave.
This inward movement of the sheave engages the drive
belttodrivethedrivenclutch.
With increasing engine speed, the moveable sheave
continues to move inward, which forces the drive belt to
ride towards the outer diameter of the clutch sheaves.
When engine speed is decreased, the clutch weights
exert less force on the rollers and thus the spring. The
spring pressure overcomes the force of the clutch
weights and shifts the moveable sheave away from the
fixed sheave. The drive belt disengages from the clutch
sheaves at a point where the force of the spring is greater than that of the clutch weights.

Driven Clutch Operation
Theoperationofthedrivenclutchisaffectedbytransaxle load. When the vehicle is stopped, the drive belt is
held at the outer diameter of the driven clutch sheaves
from the pressure of the spring pushing the moveable
sheave against the fixed sheave and away from the
fixed cam.
Once the drive belt starts rotating, the driven clutch also
starts to rotate. With increasing speed of the drive clutch
on the engine, the drive belt begins to climb to the outer
diameter of the drive clutch sheaves. This increases the
tension on the drive belt and forces the moveable
sheave of the driven clutch to move away from the fixed
sheave against the pressure of the driven clutch spring.
As the belt tightens and the driven clutch sheaves open
up, the drive belt rides lower in the driven clutch
sheaves.
With increased load to the transaxle, the driven clutch
fixed cam resists forward movement relative to the
moveable sheave and drive belt. Torque from the drive
belt along with spring pressure moves the moveable
sheave up the ramp of the fixed cam. The drive belt becomes positioned closer to the outer diameter of the
driven clutch sheaves.

Troubleshooting
Clutch
ProblemPossible Cause
Poor upshifting.Governed engine speed is adjusted too low.
1. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine, set
parking brake and remove key from the ignition switch.
Raise and support cargo box.
2. Set the shift lever into the Neutral position. Rotate
driven clutch to insure transmission is in neutral.
3. The transaxle select lever assembly should be in a
level position and parallel to the cable mounting bracket.
4. While holding the cable below the lever, tighten the
lock nut on one of the shift cables to allow 0.030” to
0.060” (0.8 to 1.5 mm) freeplay in the cable (Fig. 6).
5. Repeat process for other shift cable.
6. Pull up on each shift cable to make sure that freeplay
is correct. If necessary, readjust nut (Fig. 6).
7. Start engine and verify transaxle engagement in forward, reverse and neutral as the shift lever is moved.
8. Finally, check vehicle operation in forward, reverse
and neutral. Readjust shift cables if needed for correct
operation.

Special Tools
Order special tools from your Toro Distributor. Some
tools may also be available from a local supplier.
Multimeter
The meter can test electrical components and circuits
for current, resistance 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
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 off 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.

Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging system is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
Remove battery cover to gain access to battery. Use a
digital multimeter set to DC volts. Connect the positive
(+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post and the
negative (--) multimeter lead to the negative battery
post. Keep the test leads connected to t he battery posts
and record the battery voltage.
NOTE: When 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 battery voltage will
increase at different rates as the battery charges.

Make sure the shift lever is in the neutral position and the
parking brake is applied. Start the engine and run engine at high idle (above 3000 RPM). Maintain engine
speed to allow the battery to charge for at least three (3)
minutes. Record the battery voltage.
After running the engine for at least three (3) minutes,
battery voltage should be at least 0.50 volt higher than
initial battery voltage.

Glow Plug Test
This is a fast, simple test that can help to determine the
integrity and operation of your Workman MDX--D glow
plug system. The test should be run anytime hard starting (cold engine) is encountered on a diesel engine
equipped with a glow plug system.
Use a digital multimeter and/or inductive Ammeter (AC/
DC Current Transducer). Properly connect the ammeter
to the digital multimeter (refer to manufacturers’ instructions) and set the multimeter to the correct scale. With
the ignition switch in the OFF position, place the
Workman MDX--DElectrical SystemPage 5 -- 7
ammeter pickup around the main glow plug power supply wire and read the meter prior to activating the glow
plug system. Adjust the meter t o read zero (if applicable). Activate the glow plug system by turning the ignition switch to ON and record the multimeter results.
The Workman MDX--D glow plug system should have a
reading of approximately nine (9) amps per glow plug
(18 amps total). If low current reading is observed, one
(or more) of the glow plugs is faulty.
Component Testing
For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, electrically disconnect the component being tested from the
circuit (e.g. unplug the ignition switch connector before
doing a continuity check on the switch).
NOTE: See the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, SM--E3B Series for engine component testing information.
Ignition Switch

Engine Run Solenoid
The engine run solenoid used on Workman MDX--D
vehicles must be energized for the diesel engine to run.
The run solenoid is mounted totheinjectionpumponthe
engine (Fig. 23). The run solenoid is energized when the
ignition switch is in either the ON or START position.
The engine run solenoid includes two (2) coils for operation: the pull coil and the hold coil. When the ignition
switch is turned to START, the fuel solenoid pull coil is
energized and the solenoid plunger retracts. Once the
plunger is retracted, the hold coil will keep it retracted for
continued engine operation. When the solenoid is de-energized, the plunger extends to shut off fuel supply to
theenginecausingtheenginetostoprunning.
NOTE: A fusible link in the engine wire harness protects
the engine run solenoid pull coil circuit. If this link should
fail, the run solenoid will not function and the engine will
not run. Refer to electrical drawings in Chapter 7 -- Electrical Drawings when troubleshooting the run solenoid.
NOTE: See Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine,

Backup Switch (Optional Kit)
The optional backup switch is a four (4) terminal, two (2)
circuit switch that is used to energize the backup alarm
when the shift lever is in the reverse position. The normally open switch circuit is used while the normally
closed switch circuit is not used. If equipped, this switch
is attached to the shift bracket in the seat base (Fig. 30).
Switch Testing
1. Position vehicle on a level surface, set parking
brake, turn ignition switch OFF and remove key from
switch. Make sure that vehicle shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position.

2. Remove four (4) screws and carefully slide shift
bracket assembly from front of seat base to gain access
to backup switch.
3. Unplug vehicle wire harness connector from backup
switch.
4. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), check
that the normally open switch contacts (Fig. 31) do not
have continuity when the switch plunger is extended.
The contacts should have continuity when the switch
plunger is fully depressed.
5. When testing is complete, connect wire harness connector to backup switch. Slide shift bracket into seat
base and secure with four (4) screws.

Battery Service
The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With
regular and proper service, battery life can be extended.
Additionally, battery and electrical component failure
canbeprevented.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD:
Either the battery terminals or metal tools could
short against metal vehicle components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN:
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode.
Damaged cables could short against metal ve-
hicle components and cause sparks.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD:
When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the vehicle.
Always DISCONNECT the negative (black) bat-
tery cable before disconnecting the positive
(red) cable.
Always CONNECT the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.
Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the vehicle.
Always keep the battery retaining components
secure to protect the battery.
2. Remove battery cover.
3. Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery first
to prevent short circuiting the battery, other components
or operator’s hands. Then disconnect positive ( red)
cable.
4. Remove battery retainer that secures battery to battery tray.
5. Make sure that battery filler caps are on tightly.
6. Remove battery from chassis to a service area. This
will minimize possible battery damage and allow better
access for battery inspection and service.

POTENTIAL HAZARD:
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which
is a deadly poison and it causes severe
burns.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN:
If you carelessly drink electrolyte you could die
or if it gets onto your skin you will be burned.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD:
Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin. Always RECONNECT the positive (red) battery cable before reconnecting the negative (black) cable.
Follow all instructions and comply with all safe-
ty messages on the electrolyte container.
1. Check for cracks caused by overly tight or loose hold
down rod. Replace battery if cracked and leaking.
2. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use a terminal brush or steel wool to clean corrosion from the battery terminal posts.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block the vent holes to the filler caps and make sure
the caps are on tightly.
3. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top of
the battery which might indicate a loose or missing filler
cap, overcharging, loose terminal post or overfilling.
Also, check the battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the
battery with a solution of baking soda and water, then
rinse it with clean water.

Battery Installation (Fig. 32)
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible electrical problems, install only a fully charged battery.
1. Make sure the ignition switch and all accessories are
off.
2. Make sure the battery tray is clean and repainted if
necessary.
3. Make sure battery cables, battery connections and
the battery hold down components are in good condition.
4. Set battery on the battery base with its posts toward
the right side of the vehicle.
5. Secure positive cable (red) to positive battery post .
6. Secure battery with retainer and fasteners.
7. Connect a digital multimeter (set to amps) between
the negative battery post and the negative cable (black)
connector. The reading should be less than 0.1 amp. If
the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the vehicle’s electrical
system should be tested and repaired.
4. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
5. If battery caps can be removed, check the electrolyte
level in each cell. If the level is below the tops of the
plates in any cell, fill all cells with distilled water to the
bottom of the cap tubes (or fill line). Charge at 15 to 25
amps for 15 minutes to allow sufficient mixing of the
electrolyte.
