Specifications Engine: Peugeot TUD5, 4-cylinder, 4-cycle, inline, over-head cam, liquid cooled diesel engine with centrifugal water pump. Available power, 25 kW at 2500 RPM. 1.5 liter displacement, governed to a maximum speed of 2650 RPM. Compression ratio 23.5:1. Glow plugs controlled by pre/post heat relay. Oil capacity 4.75 quart (4.5 liters) with the oil filter. 12-volt type 4 starter motor with integral solenoid. 70-amp type 7 alternator with integral regulator. Fuel Tank Capacity: 45.
Before Operating CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. 1 Check the Engine Oil (Fig. 1 & 2) Crankcase capacity is 4-3/4 qt. (4.5 l) with filter. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. Turn the hood latch fully counterclockwise and open the hood. Figure 1 1.Hood Latch 2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is fully seated.
CAUTION 1 If the engine has been running, pressurized hot coolant can escape and cause burns if the degasser cap is removed. Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes until the degasser cap is cool enough to touch without burning your hand. 4. Install the degasser tank cap. 5. Close the hood and secure the latch. Figure 4 1. Fuel tank cap FILL THE FUEL TANK (Fig. 4) Capacity of the fuel tank is 45 l. 1. Remove the fuel tank cap. 2.
finger-tight onto the filler neck. Unscrew the the dipstick and check the level of oil. If the level is not up to the FULL mark on the dipstick (Fig. 5), add enough oil to raise the level to the mark. DO NOT OVERFILL. 1 3. Screw the dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto the filler neck. 4. Lower the implement.
CHECK REAR AXLE LUBRICANT (Fig. 6) (Model 30302 Only) The rear axle reservoir uses Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid. Although the axle is shipped with lubricant from the factory, check the level before operating the machine. 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Remove the check plug from the axle and make sure lubricant is up to the bottom of the check hole. If the level is low, add enough lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the check hole (Fig. 6). Figure 6 1. 2.
Controls Traction Pedal (Fig. 8)—Controls forward and reverse operation. Depress the top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom to move backward. Ground speed depends on how far the pedal is depressed. For no-load, maximum ground speed, fully depress the pedal while the throttle is in FAST. 3 2 1 To stop, reduce your foot pressure on the traction pedal and allow it to return to the center position. Brake Pedals (Fig.

Operation CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE IMPORTANT: The fuel system must be bled if: • Initial start up of a new machine. • The engine has stopped because lack of fuel. • Maintenance has been performed on fuel system components. Refer to Priming the Fuel System. 1. Ensure the parking brake is set. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and insure it is in neutral. 2.
CAUTION Shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts, or other difficulties. 6. To stop the engine, move the throttle control backward to the SLOW position, move the PTO lever to the OFF position, and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental starting. PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM (Fig.
parking brake. CAUTION Do not disconnect the interlock switches. Check switch operation daily to assure the interlock system is operating correctly. If a switch is malfunctioning, replace it before operating the machine. To ensure maximum safety, replace all switches after every two years or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. 2. Sit on the seat. Depress the traction pedal. Try to start the engine. The engine should not crank.
4. After towing, pivot the lever back to its original position and secure it. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS Practice driving the GROUNDSMASTER 3000-D because its hydrostatic transmission gives it characteristics are different than many turf maintenance machines. Some points to consider when operating the traction unit, cutting unit, or other implement are the transmission, engine speed, load on the cutting blades or other implement components, and the importance of the brakes.

Maintenance GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS The machine 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 or immediately after every washing. The grease fitting locations and quantities are: 2-Wheel Drive Models only—Steering cylinder ball joints (2), Rear axle tie rod (2), Rear axle pivot (1) Rear Spindle Shafts (2) (Fig. 13).
CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. GENERAL AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE 1. 1 Inspect the air cleaner after every 50 hours of operation. More often in dusty or dirty conditions. 2 2. 3. Check the air cleaner body for damage that could possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner body. Figure 19 1. 2.
information. B. After soaking the filter for 15 minutes, rinse it with clear water. Maximum water pressure must not exceed 40 psi to prevent damage to the filter element. Rinse the filter from the clean side to the dirty to side. C. Dry the filter element using warm, flowing air (71° C max), or allow element to air-dry. Do not use a light bulb to dry the filter element because damage could result. Compressed Air Method A. Blow compressed air from inside to the outside of dry filter element.
2. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 22). Apply a light coat of clean the oil to the new filter seal before screwing it on. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. 3. Add 15W-40 CE oil to the crankcase. Capacity is 4.5 l with the filter. FUEL SYSTEM (Fig. 23) Fuel Tank Drain and clean the fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean the tank if the fuel system becomes contaminated or if the machine is to be stored for an extended period. Use clean fuel to flush out the tank.
Changing The Fuel Filter Replace the fuel filter if the fuel flow becomes restricted, after every 400 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. 1. Loosen the bolt and unscrew the bottom filter cap from the filter assembly. Remove the cap, gaskets, o-ring and filter from the assembly. Note the position of the gaskets and o-ring when disassembling from the filter. 3. Install the new filter, gaskets, o-ring with the filter assembly cap. 4.
B. After every 2 years, drain and flush the cooling system. Add anti-freeze (refer to Check Cooling System). CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL & FILTER (Fig. 26–27)) The hydraulic system oil must be changed initially at 200 hours and thereafter every 600 hours of operation or seasonally, whichever comes first. The hydraulic system is designed to operate on anti-wear hydraulic fluid. The the machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with 11.4 l of Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid.
the filter (Fig. 27). 5. Lubricate the new filter seal and install the filter. 6. Install the drain plug in the axle housing (Fig. 26). 7. Remove the dipstick from the axle filler tube (Fig. 28) and fill the axle to proper level with Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid. 8. Start and run the engine at idle speed for about two minutes, raise and lower the implement and turn the steering wheel lock to purge air trapped in the system. Shut the engine off. 9. 1 Figure 27 1.
2. Clean the area around the drain plug on rear axle. 3. Remove the check plug to ease oil draining. 4. Remove the drain plug, allowing the oil to drain into pan. 5. Install the drain plug. 6. Fill the axle with 47 cl of Mobile 424 or until lubricant is up to bottom of the check hole. 7. 2 1 2 Figure 30 1. 2. Tie rod Tie rod clamps Install the check plug. REAR WHEEL TOE-IN (Fig. 30) After every 800 operating hours or annually, check rear wheel toe-in. 1.
FUSES (Fig. 31) There are four fuses in the the machine’s electrical system. They are located in compartment rear of the control panel. PREPARATION FOR SEASONAL STORAGE 1 Traction Unit Figure 31 1. 1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting units and the engine. 2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all tires to 103–138 kPa. Fuses STARTER 20A SOLENOID PTO 20A 3. Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as necessary.
5. Stop the engine. 6. Resecure all fuel system fittings. 7. Thoroughly clean and service the air cleaner assembly. 8. Seal the air cleaner inlet and the exhaust outlet with weatherproof tape. 9. Check anti freeze protection and add a 50/50 solution of water and Peugeot-recommended anti freeze, Part No. 93-7213, as needed for expected minimum temperature in your area.
