Safety Instructions Your Groundsmaster meets or exceeds safety standard specifications when weights are installed according to information in the Operator’s Manual. Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the design and configuration of the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the machine.
While Operating 5. Before getting off the seat: A. Ensure that traction pedal is in NEUTRAL. 2. Before starting the engine: B. Lower and disengage cutting decks and wait for all movement to stop. A. Apply the parking brake. B. Make sure the traction pedal is in NEUTRAL and the PTO switch is OFF (disengaged). C. After engine is started, release parking brake and keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
Maintenance and Service 2. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight. 12.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. Disconnect negative battery cable first and positive cable last. If battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery. Reconnect positive battery cable first and negative cable last. 3.
Jacking Instructions Safety CAUTION When changing attachments, tires or performing other service, use correct supports, hoists and jacks. Make sure machine is parked on a solid, level surface such as a concrete floor. Prior to raising machine, remove any attachments that may interfere with the safe and proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use jack stands or other appropriate load holding devices to support the raised machine.

General Information Operator’s Manual The Operator’s Manual provides information regarding the operation, general maintenance and maintenance intervals for your Groundsmaster 4300--D. Refer to that publication for additional information when servicing the machine. Check Hydraulic Fluid The hydraulic system on your Groundsmaster is designed to operate on high quality hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic system reservoir holds approximately 14 U.S. gallons (53 liters) of 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.
Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation (O--Ring Face Seal Fitting) 1. Make sure threads and sealing surfaces of the hose/ tube and the fitting are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign material. C. Use a second wrench to tighten the nut to the correct Flats From Wrench Resistance (F.F.W.R.). The markings on the nut and fitting body will verify that the connection has been properly tightened. 2.
Hydraulic Fitting Installation (SAE Straight Thread O--Ring Fitting into Component Port) Non--Adjustable Fitting (Fig. 6) 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. 8) 1. Make sure all threads and sealing surfaces of fitting and component port are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign material. 2. As a preventative measure against leakage, it is recommended that the O--ring be replaced any time the connection is opened. Lock Nut 3. Lightly lubricate the O--ring with clean hydraulic oil. Fitting threads should be clean with no lubricant applied. Back--up Washer 4. Turn back the lock nut as far as possible.
Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system must be relieved. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting decks fully, stop engine and engage parking brake. To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, move traction pedal to both forward and reverse directions. To relieve hydraulic pressure in steering circuit, rotate steering wheel in both directions.

Special Tools Order Special Tools from your Toro Distributor. Hydraulic Pressure Test Kit Use to take various pressure readings for diagnostic tests. Quick disconnect fittings provided attach directly to mating fittings on machine test ports without tools. A high pressure hose is provided for remote readings. Kit contains one each: 1000 PSI (70 Bar), 5000 PSI (350 Bar) and 10000 PSI (700 Bar) gauges. Use gauges as recommended in the Testing section of this chapter.
40 GPM Hydraulic Tester (Pressure and Flow) Use to test hydraulic circuits and components for flow and pressure capacities as recommended in the Testing section of this chapter. This tester includes the following: 1. LOAD VALVE: A simulated working load is created in the circuit by turning the valve to restrict flow. 2. PRESSURE GAUGE: Glycerine filled 0 to 5000 PSI gauge to provide operating circuit pressure. 3.
High Flow Hydraulic Filter Kit The high flow hydraulic filter kit is designed with large flow (40 GPM/150 LPM) and high pressure (5000 PSI/345 bar) capabilities. This kit provides for bi--directional filtration which prevents filtered debris from being allowed back into the circuit regardless of flow direction. If a component failure occurs in the closed loop traction circuit, contamination from the failed part will remain in the circuit until removed.
Wheel Hub Puller The wheel hub puller allows safe removal of the wheel hub from the wheel motor shaft. Toro Part Number: TOR6004 Figure 29 Measuring Container Hydraulic System Use this graduated container for doing hydraulic motor efficiency testing (motors with case drain lines only). Measure efficiency of a hydraulic motor by restricting the outlet flow from the motor and measuring leakage from the case drain line while the motor is pressurized by the hydraulic system.
Troubleshooting The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic system is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing equipment and a thorough understanding of the complete hydraulic system. A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat or noise has a potential for 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 Circuit Problems Problem Possible Causes Neutral is difficult to find or machine operates in one direction only Traction control linkage is misadjusted, disconnected, binding or damaged. Piston (traction) pump check relief valve is not seating or is damaged (NOTE: Piston (traction) pump check relief valves for forward and reverse are identical and can be reversed for testing purposes). Piston (traction) pump is worn or damaged. Traction response is sluggish Hydraulic oil is very cold.
Traction Circuit Problems (Continued) Problem Possible Causes Wheel motor will not turn Brakes are binding. Wheel motor is worn or damaged (NOTE: If a traction circuit component has internal wear or damage, it is possible that other traction circuit components are also damaged). Wheel motors will not hold load when traction pedal is in neutral Charge pressure is low.
Lift Circuit Problems Problem Possible Causes Single cutting deck raises slowly or not Cutting deck has excessive debris buildup. at all Lift arm or lift cylinder is binding. Flow control orifice in lift control manifold for the affected cutting deck is plugged, stuck or damaged. Lift cylinder leaks internally.

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 decks and stop engine. Remove key from the ignition switch. 1. If a component failure occurred in the closed loop traction circuit (e.g.
Check Hydraulic Lines and Hoses Check hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings or deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before operating the machine. CAUTION 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.
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, as well as subsequent damage to other hydraulic components in the affected system, will occur.
Hydraulic System Start--up 1. After the hydraulic system components have been properly installed and if the traction pump was rebuilt or replaced, make sure traction pump housing is at least half full of clean hydraulic oil. 2. Make sure all hydraulic connections and lines are secured tightly. 3. Drain, flush and refill hydraulic system and change hydraulic oil filters if component failure was severe or system is contaminated (see Flush Hydraulic System in this section). 4.

General Information Operator’s Manual The Operator’s Manual provides information regarding the operation, general maintenance and maintenance intervals for your Groundsmaster 4300--D machine. Refer to that publication for additional information when servicing the machine.
Special Tools Order Special Tools from your Toro Distributor. Some tools may be available locally. Multimeter The multimeter can test electrical components and circuits for current, resistance or voltage. Obtain this tool locally. NOTE: Toro recommends the use of a DIGITAL Volt-Ohm--Amp multimeter when testing electrical circuits. The high impedance (internal resistance) of a digital meter in the voltage mode will make sure that excess current is not allowed through the meter.
Diagnostic Display The Diagnostic Display (Fig. 4) can be connected to the wiring harness connector located inside the control arm to verify correct electrical functions of the machine. TEC controller inputs and outputs can be checked using the Diagnostic Display. Toro Part Number for Diagnostic Display: 85--4750 Toro Part Number for Overlay (English): 117--0171 NOTE: Diagnostic Display overlays are available in several languages for your Groundsmaster.
Troubleshooting CAUTION Remove all jewelry, especially rings and watches, before doing any electrical troubleshooting or testing. Disconnect the battery cables unless the test requires battery voltage. For effective troubleshooting and repairs, there must be a good understanding of the electrical circuits and components used on this machine (see Chapter 8 -- Foldout Drawings). If the machine has any interlock switches by--passed, they must be reconnected for proper troubleshooting and safety.
All machine fault codes are retained in the TEC controller memory. The three (3) most recent fault codes that have occurred within the last forty (40) hours of operation can be retrieved using the diagnostic light. To retrieve these fault codes from the controller memory, perform the following switch sequence: 1. Operator seat should be UNOCCUPIED, traction pedal in neutral, parking brake released and PTO switch in the OFF position. 2. Place mow speed limiter in the TRANSPORT position. 3.
Diagnostic Display Groundsmaster 4300--D machines are equipped with a TEC controller which controls machine electrical functions. The controller monitors various input switches (e.g. ignition switch, seat switch, etc.) and energizes outputs to actuate solenoids or relays for the requested machine function. 3 For the controller to control the machine as desired, each of the input switches, output solenoids and relays must be connected and functioning properly.
6. The Diagnostic Display will illuminate the LED associated with each of the inputs when that input is in the position identified on the Diagnostic Display overlay. Individually, change the position of each of the inputs (i.e. sit on seat, press traction pedal, etc.), and note that the appropriate LED on the Diagnostic Display toggles on and off when the input state is changed (see chart below). Repeat for all inputs that can be changed by hand. 7.
Verify Diagnostic Display Output Functions B. If the output LED’s are on as specified, but the machine does not function properly, consider that the controller is operating correctly and a problem exists with some other component. Inspect electrical components and circuit for the affected function. Also, suspect a non-electrical problem (e.g. hydraulic component problem). Repair as necessary.

The glow plug indicator light should come on when the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position prior to placing the ignition switch in START. The light should stay lit for approximately six (6) seconds while the ignition switch is left in the RUN position. The indicator light should also be illuminated when the ignition switch is in the START position. 4. Ground terminals 1B and 2B (Fig. 20). 6.
Hour Meter The hour meter is located on the outside of the control arm. Hobbs 1. Remove control arm covers to gain access to hour meter and meter terminals (see Control Arm Disassembly in the Service and Repairs section of Chapter 6 -Chassis). QUARTZ 00001 HOURS 2. Make sure ignition switch is in the OFF position. Locate the hour meter and disconnect the wire harness electrical connector from the meter. 1 10 + 3.
PTO Switch The PTO switch is mounted on the control panel and allows the cutting decks to operate when the front of the switch is depressed. An indicator light on the switch identifies when the PTO switch is engaged. The TEC controller monitors the position of the PTO switch (up or down). Using inputs from the PTO switch and other switches in the interlock system, the controller controls the energizing of the hydraulic solenoid valves used to drive the cutting deck motors. 7.
Headlight Switch The headlight switch is located on the operator side of the control arm. This rocker switch allows the headlights to be turned on and off. Testing 1. Remove inside control arm cover to gain access to headlight switch (see Control Arm Disassembly in the Service and Repairs section of Chapter 6 -- Chassis). 1 2. Make sure ignition switch is in the OFF position. Disconnect wire harness electrical connector from the headlight switch. 3.
Seat Switch The seat switch is normally open and closes when the operator seat is occupied. This switch is used as an input for the TEC controller. If the traction system or PTO switch is engaged when the operator raises out of the seat, the engine will stop. The seat switch is located directly under the operator seat. 1 Testing 1.
Joystick Raise and Lower Switches Two (2) micro switches for the joystick are located on the lift control that is attached to the control arm. The rear switch on the control is used to lower (and engage) the cutting decks and the front switch to raise (and disengage) them. These switches are used as inputs for the TEC controller. A normally open contact in the switch closes when the joystick is positioned to either lower or raise the cutting decks.
Traction Neutral Switch The traction neutral switch is a normally open proximity switch that closes when the traction pedal is in the neutral position. The switch mounts to a bracket on the traction pump (Fig. 31). The sensing plate for the traction neutral switch is the traction lever bracket that is secured to the pump control arm. The neutral switch is used as an input for the TEC controller. D.
Parking Brake Switch The parking brake switch is a normally open proximity switch. The parking brake switch is attached to the bottom of the brake pedal (Fig. 32). The parking brake switch is used as an input for the TEC controller. D. Turn ignition switch to the ON position (do not start engine) and verify with a multimeter that machine wire harness connector terminal for pink wire has system voltage (12 VDC) present.
Mow/Transport Switch The mow/transport switch is a normally closed proximity switch that opens when the mow speed limiter is placed in the transport position. The switch mounts to a bracket on the footrest platform. The sensing plate for the mow/ transport switch is the mow speed limiter. The mow/ transport switch is used as an input for the TEC controller. 4.
Start Relay The start relay is used in the engine starting circuit. When energized by the TEC controller, the start relay provides a current path to energize the engine starter solenoid. The start relay is attached to a frame bracket under the hood next to the hydraulic pump drive shaft (Fig. 34). The TEC controller controls and monitors the operation of the start relay.
Main Power and Glow Relays The Groundsmaster electrical system includes two identical relays for current control. The main power and glow relays are attached to a frame bracket under the hood next to the hydraulic pump drive shaft (Fig. 36). Relays can be identified by a tag on the wire harness. 6. Disconnect voltage and test leads from the relay terminals. Replace relay if necessary.
Toro Electronic Controller (TEC) The Groundsmaster 4300--D uses a Toro Electronic Controller (TEC) to monitor the condition of various switches (inputs) and then direct power output to allow certain machine functions. The controller is located behind the control arm access cover next to the fuse block (Fig. 38).
Fuses The fuse block is located behind the control arm access cover (Fig. 39). In addition to the fuses in the fuse block, a 2 amp fuse (F3) is included in the wire harness to protect the logic power circuit for the TEC controller. This fuse resides in a fuse holder near the battery (Fig. 41). 1 Identification and Function Use Figure 40 to identify each individual fuse and its correct amperage.
Diode Assembly A diode assembly (Fig. 42) is used in the Groundsmaster 4300--D engine wire harness. The diode is used for circuit protection from voltage spikes that occur when the engine starter solenoid is de--energized. Refer to wire harness drawings in Chapter 8 -- Foldout Drawings for additional diode assembly information. 2 Testing Locate diode assembly and remove cable tie that secures diode to wire harness. Unplug the diode from the wire harness for testing. The diode (Fig.
Fusible Link Harness The Groundsmaster 4300--D uses four (4) fusible links for circuit protection. Three (3) of these fusible links are located in a harness that connects the starter B+ terminal to the wire harness (Figs. 44 and 45). The remaining fusible link is included in the wire harness and connects the starter terminal to the engine run solenoid pull coil. If any of these links should fail, current to the protected circuit will cease.
Hydraulic Solenoid Valve Coil The Groundsmaster 4300--D hydraulic system uses several hydraulic solenoid valve coils for system control. The deck control manifold includes two (2) solenoid valves (Fig. 46) and the lift control manifold includes three (3) solenoid valves (Fig. 47). When the solenoid coils are energized, hydraulic valve shift occurs to control hydraulic flow. Testing of the coils can be done with the coil installed on the hydraulic valve. Testing 1.
Temperature Sender The changing resistance of the temperature sender signals the console temperature gauge to indicate engine coolant temperature level during machine operation. When coolant temperature rises to approximately 221oF (105oC), temperature sender resistance causes the temperature gauge to provide an input to the TEC controller. This controller input causes the high temperature warning light to illuminate and the cutting decks to shut down.
High Temperature Shutdown Switch The high temperature shutdown switch is located on the water pump housing (Fig. 50). The high temperature shutdown switch is normally open and closes when engine coolant temperature reaches approximately 239oF (115oC). When excessive coolant temperature causes the shutdown switch to close, the engine shuts down. There is a tan wire attached to the shutdown switch. 5. Replace shutdown switch if specifications are not met. 6.
Oil Pressure Switch The engine oil pressure switch is located on the engine near the oil filter (Fig.52). The oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that opens with pressure. The oil pressure switch should open at approximately 8 PSI (0.56 kg/cm2). The TEC controller monitors the operation of the oil pressure switch. The switch and its circuit wiring should be tested as a controller input with the Diagnostic Display (see Special Tools and Troubleshooting in this chapter).
Fuel Stop Solenoid The fuel stop solenoid used on your Groundsmaster must be energized for the diesel engine to run. The solenoid is mounted to the injection pump on the engine (Fig. 53). The TEC controller monitors the operation of the fuel stop solenoid. The solenoid and its circuit wiring should be tested as a controller output with the Diagnostic Display (see Special Tools and Troubleshooting in this chapter).
Fuel Pump The fuel pump used on the Groundsmaster 4300--D is attached to the inside of the left side frame rail near the fuel tank (Fig. 55). IMPORTANT: When testing fuel pump, make sure that pump is not operated without fuel. 10.Connect wire harness electrical connector to the engine fuel stop solenoid. 11.

Specifications MOUNTING: All cutting decks are supported by independent lift arms and are interchangeable to any cutting deck positions. The Groundsmaster 4300--D uses five (5) cutting decks. DISCHARGE: Clippings are discharged from the rear of the mowing decks. Pre--drilled mounting holes in the cutting deck allow attachment of optional mulching baffle. CONSTRUCTION: Deck chamber and frame are welded steel construction reinforced with channels and plates.
General Information CAUTION Never install or work on the cutting decks or lift arms with the engine running. Always stop engine and remove key from ignition switch first. Operator’s Manual Cutting Decks The Cutting Deck Operator’s Manual provides information regarding the operation, general maintenance and maintenance intervals for the cutting deck on your Groundsmaster machine. Refer to that publication for additional information when servicing the cutting deck.
Troubleshooting There are a number of factors that can contribute to unsatisfactory quality of cut, some of which may be turf conditions. Turf conditions such as excessive thatch, “sponginess”, uneven ground conditions or attempting to cut off too much grass height may not always be overcome by adjusting the machine. It is important to remember that the lower the height--of--cut, the more critical these factors are.
Special Tools Order special tools from your Toro Distributor. Rear Roller Bearing and Seal Installation Tools These tools are used to assemble the cutting deck rear roller.
Adjustments CAUTION Never install or work on the cutting decks or lift arms with the engine running. Always stop engine and remove key from ignition switch first. See the Cutting Deck Operator’s Manual for adjustment procedures for cutting decks on the Groundsmaster 4300--D. Blade Stopping Time The blades of the cutting decks are to come to a complete stop in approximately five (5) seconds after the PTO is disengaged.
