Introduction  
This Chapter gives information about specifications,  
maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, and repair of the  
gasoline engine used in the Greensmaster 1000/1600  
mower.  
Supplement. The use of some specialized test equip-  
ment is explained. However, the cost of the test equip-  
ment and the specialized nature of some repairs may  
dictate that the work be done at an engine repair facility.  
Most repairs and adjustments require tools which are  
commonly available in many service shops. Special  
tools are described in the Kawasaki FE161 & FE170  
Service Manual and Kawasaki FE120 Service Manual  
Service and repair parts for Kawasaki engines are sup-  
plied through your local Toro distributor. If no parts list is  
available, be sure to provide your distributor with the  
Toro model and serial number.

Service and Repairs  
Engine Oil  
The TORO Company recommends that the oil level be  
checked each time the mower is used or after every 5  
operating hours. Initially, change oil after the first 20  
hours of operation; thereafter, change oil after every 50  
hours of operation. More frequent oil changes are re-  
quired in dusty or dirty conditions.  
Changing the Oil:  
1. Start and run engine for a few minutes to warm the  
engine oil.  
2. Place a drain pan at the rear of machine under the  
drain plug. Remove drain plug.  
Checking the Oil Level:  
3. Pushdownonhandletotipmowerandengineback-  
ward, allowing more oil to run into the drain pan.  
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine  
is OFF.  
4. Reinstall drain plug and refill crankcase with proper  
oil: refer to Checking the Oil Level. The crankcase  
holds 6.3 qt (6.0 l).  
2. Position mower so the engine is level. Clean around  
the oil level gauge.  
3. Remove oil level gauge by rotating it counterclock-  
wise.  
4. Wipe oil level gauge clean and insert it into the filler  
port. Do not screw it into the port. Remove and check  
level of the oil. If the oil level is low, add only enough oil  
(see chart below for proper viscosity) to raise the level  
to the filler opening.

ing careful not to drop the drive pin and pinion gears.  
A. Pressbearingintotheinboardsideoftheofeach  
housing. The bearing should be recessed 0.125 to  
0.140 inch (3.18 to 3.56 mm).  
3. Pull each differential carrier housing from its axle  
and remove washer.  
4. Remove both retaining rings from each axle. Sepa-  
rate the bevel gears from each axle.  
B. Press bearing into the outboard side of the of  
each housing. The bearing should be recessed  
0.150 to 0.170 inch (3.81 to 4.32 mm).  
Note: The differential carrier housings come as-  
sembled with both bearings and oil seal. It may be more  
economical to replace the both housings rather than re-  
pair them. If the needle bearings are damaged, it is rec-  
ommended to replace all bearings in each housing.  
C. Press oil seal into the outboard side of the of  
each housing. The oil seal should be recessed  
0.030 to 0.045 inch (0.76 to 1.14 mm).

disulfide grease. Make sure the gear back is flush  
against the washer and housing inside face (Fig. 44).  
4. Slide flangettes and bearing onto the long differen-  
tial axle. Secure jam nuts, lock washers, and cable clip  
to the studs of screw plate (Fig. 40).  
5. Slide the short axle through the needle bearings of  
the other differential carrier housing. Thoroughly coat  
the bevel gear with molybdenum disulfide grease. Make  
sure the gear back is flush against the washer and hous-  
ing inside face (Fig. 44).

Ignition System Operation  
Making a System Tester  
This simple tester can be made if a commercial spark  
tester is not available. It can determine if the ignition sys-  
tem is operating properly.  
SPRING CLIP  
1. Use a new NGK BPR5ES or equivalent spark plug.  
2. Remove the ground electrode from the test plug.  
This gives the spark plug a larger gap, which simulates  
the spark required under actual engine conditions.  
SPARK  
PLUG  
3. Use 18 gauge insulated wire, an alligator clip, and  
large spring clip to make a lead assembly.  
4. Slide a 1–1/4 inch length of 1/2–inch I.D. clear fuel  
line over the threads of the spark plug. The spark will be  
more visible, and the fuel line will shade the plug firing  
tip.

Testing the Ignition System  
4. Start the engine and observe the test spark plug.  
Visible and audible sparks should be produced.  
5. If visible and audible sparks are produced, the igni-  
tion system is operating properly.  
WARNING  
The ignition system produces a danger-  
ously high voltage. Do not touch the  
spark plug, ignition coil, or spark plug  
lead while the engine is running; you can  
receive a severe electrical shock.  
6. If visible and audible sparks are not produced, the  
ignition system is not operating properly.  
A. Check wires and connectors of the ON/OFF  
switch, igniter, ignition coil, and combination igniter  
and ignition coil (on later models) for grounding or  
damaged insulation.  
Note: Do not remove spark plug from the engine. The  
spark plug is necessary to maintain normal starting  
speeds.  
B. If wires and connectors are good, test the igniter,  
ignitioncoil, andcombinationigniterandignitioncoil  
(on later models) individually.  
1. Remove high–tension lead from the spark plug, and  
connect it to the test spark plug.  
C. Iftheigniter, ignitioncoil, andcombinationigniter  
and ignition coil (on later models) test properly see  
Interlock Module and Clutch (Interlock) Switch in  
this section for further testing.  
2. Connect large spring clip around the hex portion of  
the test spark plug. Connect alligator clip to a good  
ground on the engine block.  
3. Make sure ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

Igniter  
The igniter consists of transistorized circuitry that con-  
trols the firing sequence of the spark plug in conjunction  
with the ignition coil. Mounted on the engine block, the  
igniter casing is grounded directly to the engine. A single  
black wire makes a circuit from the igniter to the primary  
of the ignition coil.  
1
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine  
is OFF.  
2. Remove black wire from the bottom of the igniter.  
3. Use a digital multimeter set to the ohms scale; take  
internal resistance of the igniter.  
1
A. Contact black (–) test lead to the igniter mount-  
ing screw (ground).  
Figure 5  
1. Ground  
2. Wire connector  
B. Contact red (+) test lead to the terminal from  
which the black wire was removed.  
5. If the internal resistance value is within specifica-  
tion, test the ignition coil.  
C. The internal resistance should be about 7.8 to  
8.1 K.  
4. If the internal resistance value is not within specifi-  
cation, replace old igniter with a new one. Reconnect  
black lead.  
A. Try starting the engine.  
B. If the engine does not start, replace the ignition  
coil.

Ignition Coil  
A commercial coil tester can be used to test the ignition  
coil. If a tester is available, test the ignition coil as sug-  
gested in the Kawasaki FE161 & FE170 Service  
Manual and Kawasaki FE120 Service Manual Sup-  
plement  
1
The coil can be tested for a badly shorted or broken  
winding with a digital ohmmeter. However, a ohmmeter  
can not detect layer shorts and shorts resulting from in-  
sulation breakdown under high running voltages.  
Note: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a  
digital multimeter, short the test leads together. The me-  
ter will display a small resistance value (usually 0.5  
ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal re-  
sistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this value  
from from the measured value of the component you are  
testing.

Note: There are two types of ignition coils used on the  
KawasakiFE120 engine. On older models, a coil is used  
in conjunction with an igniter. On newer models, a com-  
bination igniter/ignition coil is used which has the igniter  
built into the ignition coil.  
IGNITION COIL

1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine  
is OFF  
2. Isolate ignition coil. Disconnect high tension lead  
from spark plug and black wire on the coil.  
1
3. Measure primary winding resistance between the  
primary lead and ground. Winding resistance should be  
from 0.8 to 1.0 ohms. Winding and circuit resistance  
should be from 0.6 to 1.1 ohms for new combination ig-  
niter/ignition coils.

4. Measure secondary winding resistance between  
the secondary lead and ground. Winding resistance  
should be from 7.0 to 9.0 K. Winding resistance should  
be from 5.8 to 9.6 Kfor new combination igniter/igni-  
tion coils.  
5. Ifresistancesaregood, theignitioncoilwindingsare  
probably good. However, if the ignition still does not per-  
form after all other components have been checked, re-  
place coil with a new one.  
A. If resistance is low or 0 ohms, the primary wind-  
ing is shorted. Replace ignition coil.  
B. If resistance is high or infinity (1) ohms, the pri-  
mary winding is open. Replace ignition coil.  
C. Check the high tension lead for damage. Re-  
place ignition coil if lead is damaged.

Troubleshooting  
There are a number of factors that can contribute to un-  
satisfactory quality of cut, some of which may be turf  
conditions. Turf conditions such as excessive thatch,  
“sponginess” or attempting to cut off too much grass  
height may not always be overcome by adjusting the  
mower. It is important to remember that the lower the  
height–of–cut, the more critical these factors are. See  
Adjustments and Service and Repairs sections for de-  
tailed adjustments and repair information.  
Factors That Can Affect Quality of Cut  
Factor  
Possible Problem/Correction  
Governed engine speed  
Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust  
engine to specifications if necessary.  
See Adjustments section in Chapter 3 – Engine.  
Reel bearing condition  
Check and replace bearings if necessary. Make sure  
bearing housings are secured properly.  
See Reel and Reel Bearings in the Service and

Reel and bedknife sharpness  
A reel and/or bedknife that has rounded cutting edges  
or ”rifling (grooved or wavy appearance) cannot be  
corrected by tightening the bedknife to reel contact.  
Grind reel to remove taper and/or rifling. Grind  
bedknife to sharpen and/or remove rifling.  
The most common cause of rifling is bedknife to reel  
contact that is too tight.  
A new bedknife must be ground or backlapped  
after installation to the bedbar.  
Bedknife to reel adjustment  
Check bedknife to reel contact daily. The bedknife  
must have light contact across the entire reel. No  
contact will dull the cutting edges. Excessive contact  
accelerates wear of both edges. Quality of cut is  
adversely affected by both conditions (see Bedknife to  
Reel Adjustment).  
Slightly dull cutting edges may be corrected by  
backlapping (see Backlapping).  
Excessively dull cutting edges must be corrected by  
grinding the reel to and bedknife (see Preparing Reel  
for Grinding).  
Drum parallel to reel  
Check and adjust as necessary. The Drum must be  
leveled so it is parallel with the reel before setting the  
height–of–cut.  
See Leveling Rear Drum to Reel in Adjustments  
section.

Factor  
Possible Problem/Correction  
Height–of–cut  
“Effective” or actual height–of–cut depends on the  
mower weight and turf conditions. Effective  
height–of–cut will be different than the bench set  
height–of–cut.  
Proper bedknife for height–of–cut  
If the bedknife is too thick for effective height–of–cut,  
poor quality of cut will result.  
Front roller scraper and comb adjustment  
Install and/or adjust roller scrapers if grass clippings  
build up on the rollers. Set clearance between the  
scraper and roller at 1/32 inch (0.8 mm).  
Stability of bedbar  
Make sure bedbar pivot bolts are securely seated.  
Check condition of the bushings in the side plates.  
See Bedbar in Service and Repairs section.  
Number of reel blades  
Roller condition  
Use correct number of blades for clip frequency and  
optimum height–of–cut range.  
Make sure rollers rotate freely. Grease roller when  
needed, or repair bearings as necessary.  
See Roller Bearing Replacement in Service and  
Repairs section.  
Traction speed  
Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust  
engine to specifications if necessary. The drive belts  
may be loose or worn. Check the condition of the belts  
and adjust or replace as necessary.  
See Adjustments section in Chapter 3 – Engine and  
Chapter 4 – Traction and Reel Drive System. Also, see  
Service and Repairs section in Chapter 4.

Adjustments  
CAUTION  
Never work on the mower with the engine  
running. Always stop the engine and re-  
move the high tension leadfromthespark  
plug first.  
Leveling Drum to Reel  
1. Make sure engine is OFF. Remove high tension  
lead from the spark plug.  
2. Position mower on a flat level surface, preferably a  
precision steel work plate. Place a 1/4–inch x 1–inch flat  
steel strip, approximately 24 inches long, under the reel  
blades and against the front edge of the bedknife to pre-  
vent the bedbar from resting on the work surface.  
3

3. Raise front roller so only the rear drum and reel are  
on the surface.  
4. Firmly press down on mower above the reel so all  
reel blades contact the steel strip.  
2
5. While pressing down on reel, slide a feeler gauge  
under one end of the drum, then check the other end of  
the drum. If there is a gap between the drum and the  
work surface, greater than 0.010 inch (0.254 mm), on ei-  
ther end, an adjustment to the drum is required, proceed  
to step 5. If the gap is less than 0.010 inch (0.254 mm)  
no adjustment is required.

Grinding  
Since there can be variations in the mounting surface of  
the bedbar, a new bedknife will not be perfectly flat after  
it is installed. Because of this, it is necessary to backlap  
or grind a new bedknife after installing it to the bedbar.  
Follow the existing angle that was ground into the bed-  
knifeandgrindonlyenoughtomakesurethetopsurface  
is true (Fig. 33).  
1. Remove bedbar from the mower (see Bedbar Re-  
moval).

Troubleshooting  
Factors Affecting Grooming  
There are a number of factors that can affect the perfor-  
mance of grooming. These factors vary for different golf  
courses and from green to green. It is important to in-  
spect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice  
with turf needs.  
IMPORTANT: Improper or overaggressive use of  
the grooming reel, such as too deep or frequent  
grooming, may cause unnecessary stress on the  
turf leading to severe turf damage. Use the groomer  
carefully. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERA-  
TOR’S BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING GROOM-  
ER PERFORMANCE.  
It is important to remember that factors affecting quality  
of cut also affect grooming performance.  
Variables That Affect the Use and Performance of Grooming Reels  
1. The Growing season and weather conditions  
2. General turf conditions  
7. The amount of time that a grooming reel has been  
in use on a particular turf area  
8. The type of grass on the green  
3. The frequency of grooming/cutting – number of cut-  
tings per week and how many passes per cutting  
9. The overall turf management program – irrigation,  
fertilizing, weed control, coring, overseeding, sand  
dressing, and disease and pest control  
4. The blade spacing on the grooming reel  
5. The height of cut  
10. The amount of traffic on the turf  
6. The grooming depth  
11. Stress periods for turf – high temperatures, high hu-  
midity, unusually high traffic
