Installation Instructions

Note: If a front–mounted implement, such as a broom or snowthrower, is used with the Groundsmaster 580–D, the Flow

Combining Kit must be installed on the machine. The Flow Combining Kit lets you direct all the oil flow to the front

implement by shutting off the flow of oil to the wing units. Complete oil flow to the front implement is required to assure

the implement gets maximum power.

Remove the Rear Panel and

the Battery

1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower all the

cutting units, shut engine off and engage the parking

brake

2. Open the hood and prop it up. Unlatch and remove the

left and right engine panels.

3. Remove the (6) flangehead screws securing the rear

panel to the frame (Fig. 1). Set the rear panel aside.

4. Remove the (2) screws retaining the battery tray to the

battery base (Fig. 2). Slide the battery tray out to the

side. This gives you more space to work on the

hydraulic system.

Drain the Oil from the Pump

and Remove the Elbows

1. Put an oil pan below the fixed tandem oil gear pump.

2. Disconnect the hoses from the fittings on the right

front and the rear of the pump. Also, disconnect the

hoses from the fittings on the PTO manifold, as shown

in figure 3.

Operating Instructions 3. Connect hose “B” and the O–rings to the 90 degree fitting on the flow combining valve and the 45 degree fitting on the PTO manifold, as shown in figure 8. The Flow Combining Kit, by means of an in–line needle valve between the flow combiner and the manifold, controls the flow of oil to the front and side hydraulic motors. 4. Connect hose “C” and O–rings to the 45 degree fitting on the PTO manifold to and to the T–fitting at the rear of the pump, as shown in figure 8. 1.
