Safety General Information Traction Unit Operator’s Manual Product Records and Manuals The Traction Unit Operator’s Manual provides information regarding the operation, general maintenance and maintenance intervals for your Groundsmaster machine. Refer to that publication for additional information when servicing the machine. Check Hydraulic Fluid The hydraulic system on Groundsmaster 3500- D machines is designed to operate on high quality hydraulic fluid.
Hydraulic Hoses Hydraulic hoses are subject to extreme conditions such as pressure differentials during operation and exposure to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage conditions or mishandling during operation and maintenance. These conditions can cause hose damage and deterioration. Some hoses are more susceptible to these conditions than others.
2. As a preventative measure against leakage, it is recommended that the face seal O- ring be replaced any time the connection is opened. Make sure the O- ring is installed and properly seated in the fitting groove. Lightly lubricate the O- ring with clean hydraulic oil. Size 4 (1/4 in. nominal hose or tubing) 6 (3/8 in.) 8 (1/2 in.) 10 (5/8 in.) 12 (3/4 in.) 16 (1 in.) 3. Place the hose/tube against the fitting body so that the flat face of the hose/tube sleeve fully contacts the Oring in the fitting.
Hydraulic Fitting Installation (SAE Straight Thread O- Ring Fitting into Component Port) Non- Adjustable Fitting (Fig. 40) 1. Make sure all threads and sealing surfaces of fitting and component port are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign material. 5. If a torque wrench is not available, or if space at the port prevents use of a torque wrench, an alternate method of assembly is the Flats From Finger Tight (F.F.F.T.) method. 2.
Adjustable Fitting (Fig. 42) Back- up Washer 4. Turn back the lock nut as far as possible. Make sure the back up washer is not loose and is pushed up as far as possible (Step 1 in Figure 43). O- ring Figure 42 IMPORTANT: Before installing fitting into port, determine port material. If fitting is to be installed into an aluminum port, installation torque is reduced. 6.
Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure Before disconnecting or performing any work on the Groundsmaster 3500- D hydraulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system must be relieved. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting units lowered and off. Turn key switch to OFF and allow engine to stop. To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, move traction lever to both forward and reverse directions.

The rear wheel motor has a small check valve across its ports that allows the rear motor to over run during tight turns in the forward direction. The traction circuit operates essentially the same in reverse as it does in forward. However, there are a few differences in operation. When the reverse traction pedal is depressed, the cable from the pedal positions the swash plate in the traction pump (P3) so oil flows out of the upper port.
Hydraulic System (Rev.
When the solenoid valve (R1) is de- energized as the PTO switch is DISENGAGED, brake relief cartridge (BV) shifts to its closed position, blocking return flow from the deck motors and slowing the cutting blades Solenoid valve (R1) is de- energized with the engine running when either the cutting unit drive switch is in DISENGAGE or the transport/mow slide is in TRANSPORT. Solenoid valve (R1) by- passes flow from the cutting unit motors directly to the hydraulic reservoir.
Hydraulic System (Rev.
When the cutting unit shift lever is released, spring action returns the valve to its original position and bypasses flow back to the hydrostat stopping lift cylinder movement. The cylinder position is locked in place by the load holding checks in the lift control valve.
Hydraulic System (Rev.
When the cutting unit shift lever is released, spring action returns and detents the valve into the float position while by- passing flow back to the hydrostat. The pilot valve remains shifted to allow the lift cylinders to float until the lift control valve is moved to the raise position. When the cutting units are to be lowered, the 2- spool valve is positioned by moving the cutting unit shift lever to LOWER. Pressure from gear pump (P2) is used to shift the pilot valve in the 2- spool valve.
Hydraulic System (Rev.
Shift Sidewinder Left Shift Sidewinder Right Wheels, Brakes, and Chassis Electrical System When the sidewinder is to be shifted right, the 2- spool valve is positioned by moving the cutting unit shift lever to RIGHT. Flow is directed to the cap end of the sidewinder cylinder. Hydraulic pressure against the cylinder piston moves the rod causing the sidewinder cylinder to extend right.

The steering control valve returns to the neutral position when turning is complete. Product Records and Manuals When a left turn is made with the engine running, the turning of the steering wheel positions the spool valve so that flow goes through the top of the spool. Flow entering the steering control valve at the IN port goes through the spool and is routed to two places.

Troubleshooting The charts that follow contain information to assist in troubleshooting. There may possibly be more than one cause for a machine malfunction. Refer to the Testing section of this Chapter for precautions and specific test procedures. Problem Possible Cause Hydraulic oil leaks from system. Fitting(s), hose(s), or tube(s) are loose or damaged. O- ring(s) or seal(s) are missing or damaged. Hydraulic fluid foams. Oil level in reservoir is low. Hydraulic system has wrong type of oil.
Possible Cause Wheel motor will not turn. Brakes are binding. Key on wheel motor shaft is sheared or missing. Safety Problem Wheel motor will not hold load in neutral. Make up fluid from charge pump is not available. Cutting unit gear pump (P1) is noisy (cavitation). Reservoir oil level is low. Hydrostat ball check valves are damaged. Suction line is restricted. Product Records and Manuals Internal parts in wheel motor are damaged. Solenoid valve (R1) is stuck open.
Testing The most effective method for isolating problems in the hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits during various operational checks (See the Special Tools section in this Chapter). Before Performing Hydraulic Tests IMPORTANT: All obvious areas such as oil supply, filter, binding linkages, loose fasteners, or improper adjustments must be checked before assuming that a hydraulic component is the source of the problem.

Braking Valve Adjustment Product Records and Manuals Safety The braking valve (BV) on the hydraulic manifold controls the stopping time for the cutting deck blades. The braking valve is adjustable. If adjustment of the braking valve is correct, the cutting deck blades should come to a complete stop within 7 seconds after the PTO switch is disengaged.
Service and Repairs General Precautions for Removing and Installing Hydraulic System Components Before Repair or Replacement of Components After Repair or Replacement of Components 1. Before removing any parts from the hydraulic system, park machine on a level surface, engage parking brake, lower cutting units or attachments, and stop engine. Remove key from the ignition switch. 1. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir and add correct oil if necessary.
Change hydraulic fluid after every 400 operating hours or yearly, under normal conditions. If fluid becomes contaminated, the complete hydraulic system must be flushed (see Flush Hydraulic System). Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when compared to clean oil. 1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake and remove key from ignition switch. 2. Thoroughly clean area around the hydraulic suction hose at gear pump (Fig. 73).
Replace Hydraulic Oil Filter The hydraulic system oil filter must be changed initially, after the first 10 hours of operation, and thereafter every 200 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. Use a genuine Toro oil filter (Part No. 54- 0110) for replacement. 1 IMPORTANT: Use of any other filter may void the warranty on some components. 1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake and remove key from ignition switch. 2 2.
Replace Traction Belt 1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units, stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition switch. Raise hood. 3 1 4 2. Insert nut driver or small piece of pipe onto the end of the torsion spring of the idler pulley. 5 6 CAUTION Be careful when removing or applying tension from or to the torsion spring of the idler pulley. The spring is under heavy load and may cause personal injury. 3.
Product Records and Manuals Wheels, Brakes, and Chassis Electrical System Hydraulic System Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Flush Hydraulic System IMPORTANT: Flush the hydraulic system any time there is a severe component failure or if the system is contaminated (oil appears milky, black, or contains metal particles). IMPORTANT: Flush hydraulic system when changIng from petroleum base hydraulic fluid to a biodegradable fluid such as Toro Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid. Operate machine under normal operating conditions for at least four (4) hours before draining.
Filtering Closed- Loop Traction Circuit Filtering of a closed- loop hydraulic system after a major component failure (e.g. traction (piston) pump or wheel motor) is a requirement to prevent debris from transmitting throughout the system. If a closed- loop hydraulic system filtering tool is not used (to ensure system cleanliness) repeat failures and subsequent damage to other hydraulic components in the system will occur.
Charge Hydraulic System NOTE: When initially starting the hydraulic system with new or rebuilt components such as motors, pumps, or lift cylinders, it is important that the hydraulic system be charged properly. Air must be purged from the system and its components to reduce the chance of damage. 10.Make sure traction pedal and lift control lever are in neutral. Start engine and run it at low idle of 1800 rpm. The charge pump should pick up oil and fill the hydraulic system.

BACK Figure 10 SRV Valve Solenoid The hydraulic system on the Groundsmaster 3500- D uses a solenoid valve coil on the hydraulic manifold (Fig. 12).
Diode Assemblies The diodes D1, D2, and D4 provide logic for the interlock switches. Diode D3 is used for circuit protection from inductive voltage spikes when the interlock relay is de- energized. Two types of diodes have been used on the Groundsmaster 3500- D: 2 1. On early production machines, the diodes are located within the main wiring harness that lies under the hydraulic tank and control console (Fig. 13). 2. Later production machines use diodes that plug into the wiring harness (Fig. 14).

Controller Operation 1. When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, the controller energizes the glow plugs and lights up the glow lamp for 10 seconds. 2. When the ignition switch is held in the START position, the glow plugs will energize while the switch is held in START and the glow lamp will not light. 3.
The Standard Control Module does not connect to an external computer or hand held device, can not be reprogrammed, and does not record intermittent fault data. The Standard Control Module can be used to check operation of machine switches by monitoring the LED of the module. If a Module LED does not illuminate (e.g. the in seat input LED does not illuminate with the seat occupied and the ignition switch in the run position), testing of the switch and circuit wiring would be required.
Service and Repairs NOTE: For more electrical component repair information, see the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, 05 Series. Battery Storage If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days: 1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery Service). 2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine. 4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the battery charge. 5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged (see Battery Service).
Battery Service Safety 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 can be prevented. 2 When working with batteries, use extreme caution to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte. Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or eyes. Always wear safety goggles and a face shield when working with batteries. Kubota Diesel Engine 1 Figure 37 1.
2. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte. D. Measure the temperature of the center cell. IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is clean before opening the battery caps. E. Connect a battery load tester to the battery terminals following the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect a digital multimeter to the battery terminals. A. Measure the specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer.
To minimize possible damage to the battery and allow the battery to be fully charged, the slow charging method is presented here. This charging method can be accomplished with a constant current battery charger which is available in most shops. 25% 0% 80 or less 3.8 hrs @ 3 amps 7.5 hrs @ 3 amps 11.3 hrs @ 3 amps 15 hrs @ 3 amps 81 to 125 5.3 hrs @ 4 amps 10.5 hrs @ 4 amps 15.8 hrs @ 4 amps 21 hrs @ 4 amps 126 to 170 5.5 hrs @ 5 amps 11 hrs @ 5 amps 16.

Specifications MOUNTING: All cutting units are supported by equal length, independent lift arms and are interchangeable to all three cutting unit positions. DISCHARGE: Clippings are discharged from the rear of the mowing decks. Pre--drilled mounting holes allow attachment of optional mulching baffle. CONSTRUCTION: Deck chamber is welded 10 and 12 gauge steel. Deck frame is welded 1--1/2 inch square tubing with 7 gauge side supports. CUTTING UNIT LIFT: Cutting units are controlled with one lever.
1. Maximum governed engine speed. Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust speed to specifications if necessary. 2. Blade speed. All deck blades should rotate at the same speed. See items in Troubleshooting Section of Chapter 4 -Hydraulic System. 3. Tire pressure. Check each tire’s pressure. Adjust to pressures specified in Specifications Section of Chapter 6 -Wheels and Brakes. 4. Blade condition. Sharpen blades if their cutting edges are dull or nicked. Inspect blade sail for wear or damage.
Special Tools Order these special tools from your Toro Distributor. Cutting Unit Tool Kit - TOR4070 This tool kit includes special tools used to assemble the cutting unit rear roller that has greasable bearings with a grease fitting on the ends of the roller shaft.
Safety Adjustments CAUTION Product Records and Manuals Never install or work on the cutting units or lift arms with the engine running. Always stop engine and remove key first. IMPORTANT: This cutting deck often cuts approximately 1/4 inch lower than a reel cutting unit with the same bench setting. It may be necessary to have these rotary cutting deck’s bench set 1/4 inch above that of reels cutting in the same area.
Adjust Roller Scraper If cutting deck is equipped with a rear roller scraper, there should be an even gap of .020 to .040 inch (.51 to 1.02 mm) between the scraper rod and rear roller. EARLY STYLE 1 5 Two styles of roller scrapers have been available for the Groundsmaster 3500--D. Early models used a scraper rod that was fastened to brackets with lock nuts (Fig. 3). The scraper system used on later models has a one piece scraper component (Fig. 4). The adjustment method for both styles is similar.
1. Remove cutting unit to be inspected (see Cutting Unit Removal and Installation). 2. Use hoist (or minimum of two people) and place cutting deck on flat table. 3. Mark one end of blade with paint pen or marker. Use this end of blade to check all heights. 4. Position cutting edge of marked end of blade at 12 o’clock (straight ahead in direction of mowing). Measure height from table to cutting edge of blade. 7. Adjust right and/or left height--of--cut brackets by repeating steps 1 thru 3. 8.
Service and Repairs CAUTION Never install or work on the cutting units or lift arms with the engine running. Always stop engine and remove key first. Blade Stopping Time The blades of the cutting deck are to come to a complete stop in approximately 5 seconds after the cutting deck engagement switch is shut down. NOTE: When checking blade stopping time, make sure the decks are lowered onto a clean section of turf or hard surface to avoid dust and debris.
Cutting Unit Removal and Installation Safety Removal 3. Cover top of spindle housing to prevent contamination. Spindle plug (Toro Part # 94--2703) can be used to cover spindle. 4.

Roll the cutting unit away from the traction unit. Installation 1. Position machine on a clean, level surface.
Cutting Blade Removal and Installation The cutting blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, the blade is out of balance, or if the blade is bent. Always use genuine TORO replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum performance. Never use replacement blades made by other manufacturers because they could be dangerous. 4 1 1. Park machine on a level surface, raise cutting units to highest position, stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition switch.
Three types of rear rollers have been used on the Groundsmaster 3500--D. One roller design has sealed bearings with no grease fittings on the roller shaft. The second design has grease fittings in the roller shaft ends. The third design has grease fittings incorporated into the roller fasteners. Removal and installation of the rear roller from the cutting deck is the same, regardless of roller type. 2 9 3 1 Safety Rear Roller 8 3 4 2 Removal (Fig. 13) 1.
