Testing and Inspection Injection Pump Timing (See Timing of Injection Pump in the Engine Overhaul section.) Glow Plug Test CAUTION Engine Be careful while handling or testing glow plugs. Glow plugs become extremely hot. Ac cidental contact with the heated plug tip could cause personal injury. 1. Disconnect the wire lead(s) to the glow plug. 2. Remove the glow plug. 3. Inspect the glow plug for signs of a burnt glow plug end tube.
Compression Test Minimum cylinder compression is 20 bar (290 psi) at 200 rpm (normal cranking speed). The engine should be warm - coolant temperature of 50o C (120o F). IMPORTANT: DO NOT put oil into the combustion chamber before performing a compression test. Damage may result because of “hydraulic” forces acting upon the piston and connecting rod. 1. Remove the glow plug lead wires and glow plugs from all four cylinders. 2. Insert a compression gauge adapter into the glow plug hole. 3.
Injector Tests There are several tests to examine the condition of the injection nozzles. These tests require the use of a nozzle tester and nozzle tester adapter. defective, damaged or adjusted incorrectly, starting failures, low power output, or engine knocking can occur. 1. Securely fasten the nozzle to the adapter. CAUTION 2. Pump the handle several times to purge air from the nozzle mechanism. The nozzle tester forces fuel from the nozzle under extremely high pressure.
Nozzle Leakage Test A nozzle that leaks fuel from the nozzle orifice must be replaced. 1. Securely fasten the nozzle to the adapter. 2. Wipe all fuel from the nozzle. 3. Operate the pump until the pressure is approximately 20 bar or kg/cm2 (280 psi) below opening pressure. Maintain this pressure to the nozzle. Good 4. Watch for leaks where the threaded nozzle body threads into the retaining nut. Leaks in this area would indicate a bad seat between the distance piece and/or the body or nozzle assembly.
Injection Pump Testing It is possible to determine if the fuel injection pump requires service through a process of elimination using other fuel system tests. The following test procedure will help isolate fuel system difficulties. 1. Make sure that fuel is being supplied to the injector pump. 2. Check the operating condition of the injection nozzles to make sure that the injection pressure is correct. 3.
Thermostat Test If the engine overheats or runs too cool, and a faulty thermostat is suspected, the thermostat should be tested. 1. Remove the thermostat. 2. Put the thermostat in a container of water with a thermometer and heat the water. Starts to open at: 81o C (178o F) 7 mm (0.28 in.) full open at 88o C (190o F) 3. If the thermostat fails to open, only partially opens, or sticks, it should be replaced. Figure 37 Engine Page 3 - 32 Rev.
Fuel System Service Priming Fuel System 1. Stop the engine. Unlatch and raise the hood 2. Fill the fuel tank. 3. Install a 3/16" hose over bleed screw. Put other end of hose into a container to catch fuel (Fig. 38). 5.Loosen bleed screw a few turns. Pump priming plunger until a steady stream of fuel comes out of hole in bleed screw. When fuel stops foaming, tighten bleed screw during down stroke of priming plunger. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Injector Service NOTE: If injectors need to be inspected or repaired it is recommended that it be done by an authorized CAV Lucas ROTO DIESEL service dealer - especially during the warranty period. Repairs by non-authorized dealers WILL void the warranty on the injectors. 1 Removal 8 2 1. Clean top of cylinder head and injection pipes. 2. Remove injection pipes (Fig. 57, Item 12). 3 3. Disconnect injector leakage pipe. 4 4. Remove the injectors (Fig.

Troubleshooting The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic sys tem is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing equipment and a thorough understanding of the com plete hydraulic system. A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat or noise is a potential 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.
Traction Response Is Sluggish Cause Correction __________________________________________________________________________________________ Brakes dragging. Inspect brakes and adjust or repair if necessary. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Charge pressure low - TEST NO. 6. NOTE: Counterbalance pressure will also be affected. Inspect charge relief valve and adjust or repair if necessary.
Four Wheel Drive Does Not Engage Cause Correction ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Front axle shift lever in “HI” (forward) position. Front axle shift lever must be in “LOW” (rear) position for four wheel drive to engage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Electrical problem.
Cutting Unit Does Not Lift or Lift Too Slowly Cause Correction __________________________________________________________________________________________ Hydraulic oil level too low. Fill to proper level. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Low engine RPM. Adjust engine RPM - use tachometer.
Cutting Unit Will Not Drop or Follow Ground Contours Cause Correction ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Low engine RPM. Adjust engine RPM - use tachometer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lift arm or cylinder pivots binding. Lubricate bushings. Inspect for damage. Repair or replace damaged parts.
Cutting Unit Lowers or Raises Too Quickly Cause Correction __________________________________________________________________________________________ Missing or improperly installed orifice in hydraulic line. Properly install orifice between left valve and hydraulic hose to hydraulic lift cylinder(s). NOTE: Orifice must be installed to avoid interference with adapter fitting.

Verify Interlock System Operation The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in NEUTRAL and the cutting unit engagement switch is DISENGAGED. In addition, the engine will stop when the cutting unit engagement switch is engaged or traction pedal is depressed with operator off the seat. 5. Raise off the seat and depress the traction pedal while engine is running and the cutting unit engagement switch is DISENGAGED.
Testing This section will define components, and the tests that can be performed on those components, when those parts are disconnected from the electrical system. CAUTION For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, elec trically disconnect the component being tested from the circuit (e.g. unplug the seat switch connector before doing a continuity check).
Seat Switch, Relay and Time Delay Capacitor The seat switch is a normally open (N.O.) switch that closes when the operator is on the seat. With no opera tor on the seat, there is an open circuit to the time delay capacitor and relay coil. If the PTO switch or traction switch is open and the operator raises off the seat, the engine will stop after a delay of 1 to 2 seconds. Seat Switch Test 3 2 1 1. Raise the seat to get access to the seat switch wiring connector. 2.
Traction (Neutral) Switch The traction switch is a normally closed and opens when traction pedal is depressed in either direction. IMPORTANT: The traction switch has three (3) terminals. Make sure the wires are connected to the “COMMON” and “N.O.” terminals. Test the switch by disconnecting the wires from the switch terminals and connecting a continuity tester across the COMMON and N.O. terminals.
Axle Hi/Low Switch The axle hi/low switch is normally open (N.O.) when the transaxle is in neutral or hi range. This prevents the cutting units or 4WD from engaging while the transaxle is neutral or hi range. The switch closes when the axle shift rod is moved to low range, which pushes the switch button in. 1 1. Disconnect the switch wire connector and install a continuity tester or ohm meter between the two leads of the switch. 2.
PTO Switch To test the PTO switch independent of wiring harness, disconnect wire connector from the switch terminals. When the switch is ON, there should be continuity between terminals A – B only. When the switch is OFF, terminals C – D and B – E should show continuity. 1 Figure 13 1. PTO switch Figure 14 1.
Start, Cutting Unit, Time Delay and High Temp. Relays To test the relay, disconnect the relay wire connector and install a continuity tester between the relay termi nals (terminals 30 and 87). The relay should make and break continuity at terminals 30 and 87 as 12 V.D.C. is connected and disconnected to terminal 85 with termi nal 86 connected to ground. 1 Figure 15 1. Start relay 2 3 Electrical System 1 Figure 16 1. Cutting unit relay 2. High temp. relay 3.
Glow Relay and Glow Plugs 1. Attach an amp meter to glow plug circuit. Turn ignition switch to ON. Meter may have an initial reading as high as 100 amps. A. If amp meter shows a reading for 5 to 12 seconds, the glow relay is operating. If there is no reading, go to step 2. B. Turn ignition switch OFF, then ON again. A read ing of 48 amps should be observed. Go to step 3. 1 2. To test the circuit: A. Check with a test light at buss bar connection for glow plugs at cylinder head.
Battery Use a hydrometer to test the battery. Charge the battery if necessary (see Battery Service). Electrolyte specific gravity 1 Fully charged: 1.250 - 1.280 Discharged: less than 1.240 Figure 20 Injection Pump (ETR) Solenoid The Groundsmaster® 455-D has an energize-to-run (ETR) fuel stop solenoid. The solenoid will stop injector pump fuel delivery with any electrical failure in the RUN circuit. 1. Disconnect the wire from the solenoid. 1 Electrical System 2.
Gauges and Indicator Lights Oil Pressure Light Test the lamp by disconnecting the wires and applying 12 V.D.C. between the lamp wiring terminals. Oil pressure lamp should come on when the ignition key switch is in the RUN position with the engine not running or if the oil pressure switch closes during operation - oil pressure below 7 psi (0.5 kg/cm2). Test the lamp by disconnecting the wire from oil pres sure switch and grounding it against the engine.
High Temperature Shut-Down Switch 1. Lower the coolant level in the engine and remove the high temperature shut-down switch. 2. Put the switch in a container of oil with a thermometer and heat the oil. 1 3. The switch is normally open (N.O.) and should close at approximately 221o F (105o C). 2 CAUTION Handle hot oil with special care to prevent personal injury or fire. Figure 22 Electrical System 1. High temperature shut-down switch 2. Temperature gauge sender Figure 23 Temperature Gauge Sender 1.
Engine Oil Pressure Switch The switch is normally closed (NC) and opens with pressure. The switch opens at approximately 8 psi. 1. Turn ignition key switch ON. Oil pressure lamp should be on. If lamp is not on: 1 1. Disconnect wire from switch and touch wire to a good ground, such as the engine block. 2. If lamp comes on, replace switch. 3. If lamp does not come on check wiring between lamp and switch for continuity. Figure 25 1. Engine oil pressure switch If lamp is on with engine running: 1.
4WD Solenoid 1. Disconnect the wire connector. 2. Connect a 12 volt battery so the positive (+) battery terminal is connected to colored solenoid lead. Connect the negative (–) battery terminal to black lead. The valve spool should retract completely as 12 V.D.C is applied between leads. 1 2 3. If valve spool does not operate properly check for binding or damage to valve. 4. If valve moves smoothly, but does not engage when 12 V.D.C is applied to solenoid leads, replace solenoid coil. 5.
P.T.O. Clutch and Wing Clutch 1. Park machine on a level surface, engage parking brake, lower the cutting units and turn engine OFF. 1 2. Disconnect electrical connector from affected clutch. Continuity Test Connect a continuity tester or ohmmeter to the two (2) terminals of the electrical connector on the clutch. If continuity is not present, replace the clutch or electro magnet part of the clutch (see Chapter 7 - P.T.O System or Chapter 8 - Cutting Unit).
Repairs IMPORTANT: Before welding on the machine, dis connect both battery cables from the battery and disconnect the terminal connector from the alter nator to prevent damage to the electrical system. Battery Service IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to electrical com ponents, do not operate the engine with the battery cables disconnected. Electrolyte Specific Gravity Keep the terminals and entire battery case clean. To clean the battery, wash the entire case with a solution of baking soda and water.
Fuses The electrical system is protected by twelve (4) fuses located under the control panel to the operator’s right. NOTE: It is not always possible to see if a fuse is faulty. It is recommended that you check for faulty fuses with a continuity tester, not visually. 4 2 3 1 The starter circuit is also protected by a 30A in-line fuse between the start relay and starter solenoid (S/N 59999 and below). The alternator charging circuit is protected by a 80A in-line fuse (S/N 60001 and up). Figure 34 1.
Traction (Neutral) Switch Replacement 1. Remove the two wires that are connected to the traction switch. 2. Have a helper push the traction pedal down into either the FORWARD or REVERSE position; this will take the switch arm tension off of the switch. Loosen two (2) screws and remove the switch. 3. Install new switch. DO NOT over-tighten screws as the switch case could break. NOTE: Have a helper hold the traction pedal down while installing the switch. 4.
