FORM NO. 3318-341 GB Rev A MODEL. 04375—50001 AND UP ® OPERATOR'S MANUAL GREENSMASTER® 3000-D To achieve maximum safety, optimum performance, and to gain knowledge of the machine, it is essential that you or any other operator of the machine read and understand the contents of this manual before starting the engine. Pay particular attention to the instructions highlighted by the triangular safety alert symbol. Failure to comply with the safety instructions may result in personal injury.
This operator's manual has instructions on safety, operation, and maintenance. This manual emphasizes safety, mechanical and general product information. DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION identify safety messages. Whenever the triangular safety alert symbol appears, understand the safety message that follows. “IMPORTANT” highlights special mechanical information and “NOTE” emphasizes general product information worthy of special attention.
Safety is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. Training 1. 2. 3. 4. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. 3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable. • Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. • Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling.
Safety • do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; 13. Disengage the drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. • engage the clutch slowly, and always keep the machine in gear, especially when travailing downhill; 14.
Safety vent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine. 9. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. 10. When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

The panel is removeable for easy access to electrical components. Engine Oil Capacity: 3.8 qt (3.6 L) without filter. Engine Oil Filter: Replaceable, full-flow, spin-on type. Toro Part No. 67-4330. Filter capacity: 0.5L.
Before Operating Before Operating ing procedures. ADD ENGINE OIL 1. Move the machine to a level surface, stop the engine and set the parking brake. Unlatch and open the hood (Fig. 2). 3. If the oil level is low, unscrew the oil fill cap from the top of the engine (Fig. 1). Add a small quantity of a high-quality SAE 30 or 10W-30 detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute—API— ”service classification” CD and recheck the dipstick level.
Before Operating stick into the tube. Close and latch the engine hood. CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check the level daily before starting the engine. Capacity of the system is approximately 4-1 /2 qt (4.2 L). 1. Move the machine to a level surface, stop the engine and set the parking brake. Unlatch and open the engine hood (Fig. 2). 2. Carefully remove the radiator cap and the expansion tank cap (Fig. 2).
Before Operating DANGER Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, hot or when the machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before starting the engine.
Before Operating mately 9 cm below the top of the fill hole. 3. If the oil level is low, slowly fill with Mobile DTE 26 or equivalent hydraulic oil until the level is correct. Do not mix oils. Install the cap. IMPORTANT: To prevent system contamination, clean the top of hydraulic oil containers before puncturing. Assure the pour spout and funnel are clean. Vary the tire pressure for the drive wheels, depending on your turf conditions, from a minimum of 8 psi (55.2 kPa) to a maximum of 12 psi (82.7 kPa).
Controls BRAKE PEDAL (Fig. 5) The brake pedal actuates an automotive mechanical drum-type brake located at each traction wheel. PARKING BRAKE BUTTON (Fig. 5) To lock the brakes for parking, depress the brake pedal, then depress the parking brake button. To disengage the parking brake, depress the brake pedal. Form the habit of locking the parking brake before leaving the machine. IMPORTANT: Do not use ether or other types of starting fluids to start the engine. THROTTLE CONTROL (Fig.
Controls CIRCUIT BREAKER (Fig. 7) A 15-amp circuit breaker to protect the electrical system is in the control panel. Should the circuit breaker actuate, locate and correct the cause for this occurrence. Then, push the reset button to reactivate the circuit. SHIFT SELECTOR (Fig. 8) The shift selector is located on the top of the right hand panel. It provides two (2) traction selections, plus a “NEUTRAL” position.
First-Time Operation BREAK-IN PERIOD starting. 1. 1. Sit on the seat, place the shift selector in “Neutral”, check the mow and lift pedals to ensure they are level with one another. 2. Keep your foot off the traction pedal and make sure it is in neutral. 3. Move the throttle control to the full FAST position. 4. Turn the ignition key to ON and hold there until the glow plug indicator light goes off (approximately 6 seconds). 2. 3. 4.
First-Time Operation CAUTION Shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts or other malfunctions. D. Shut the engine off and check fluid levels. Also check for oil leaks, loose parts and other malfunctions. 8. To stop the engine, move the throttle to SLOW and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental starting. Figure 11 1. 3. Turn the ignition switch key to the RUN position.
First-Time Operation 7. Note: Since the Greensmaster 3000-D is new and the bearings and reels are tight, it is necessary to use the FAST throttle control position for this check. A fast throttle setting may not be required after the break-in period. Close and latch the engine hood. INITIAL PRE-OPERATING CHECK Note: Inspect the areas beneath mowers to insure they are clear of debris. Clear the area, if necessary, before starting. 1.
First-Time Operation move the shift selector to neutral. Depress the mow pedal and try to start the engine. The engine should not crank. This means the mow/lift switch is functioning correctly. If the engine did not crank, go to step 4. If the engine cranked, there is a malfunction in the safety interlock system. 4. 5. IMPORTANT: If you shift to the No. 2 traction selector position while cutting greens, no increase in speed will result.
Operating Instructions BEFORE MOWING 4 Inspect the green for debris, remove the flag from the cup, and determine the direction best to mow. Base the direction to mow on the previous mowing direction. Always mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing, so the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and therefore be difficult to trap between the reel blades and bed knife. 2 1 3 MOWING PROCEDURES 1. 2. Approach the green with the shift selector in the No. 1 position.
Operation green may leave marks or indentations from the wheels. 6. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery. Be sure to change the direction of cutting from the previous mowing. Always keep weather and turf conditions in mind and be sure to change the direction of mowing from the previous cutting. Replace the flag. 7. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before transporting to the next green.
Maintenance LUBRICATION CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General purpose Lithium Base Grease. If the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation. 1. Wipe grease fitting clean so foreign matter cannot be forced into the bearing or bushing. 2.
