Testing
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting
decks, stop engine, engage parking brake and remove
key from the ignition switch.
2. Locatehydraulicvalvesolenoidcoiltobetested(Fig.
45). Disconnect wire harness connector from coil.
3. Identify coil resistance specification by measuring
the coil diameter and coil height (Fig. 46).
NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a
digital multimeter, short the meter test leads together.
The meter will display a small resistance value (usually
0.5 ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal
resistanceof themeter andtestleads.Subtract thisval-
uefrom from the measuredvalue ofthecomponent you
are testing.
4. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), measure resis-
tance between the two (2) connector terminals on the
solenoid valve coil. The correct resistance for the sole-
noid coil is identified below:

tures. Typically, a failed solenoid coil will either be
shorted (very low or no resistance) or open (infinite re-
sistance).
5. If solenoid coil resistance is incorrect, replace sole-
noid:
A. Remove nut securing solenoid to the cartridge
valve. Carefully slide solenoid off the valve.
B. Install new solenoid coil to the cartridge valve.
Install and torque nut 5ft--lb(6.7N--m). Over--tight-
ening may damage the s olenoid coil or cause the
cartridge valve to malfunction.
6. After testing is completed, connect wire harness
connector to the solenoid.
