General Safety Instructions  
The Reelmaster 4000–D was tested and certified by  
TORO for compliance with the B71.4–1984 specifica-  
tions of the American National Standards Institute for  
riding mowers when rear tires are filled with calcium  
chloride and two rear wheel weight kits. Although haz-  
ard control and accident prevention partially are depen-  
dent 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. Improper use or maintenance of the ma-  
chine can result in injury or death.  
WARNING  
To reduce the potential for injury or death,  
comply with the following safety instructions.  
Before Operating  
1. Read and understand the contents of the traction  
unit and cutting unit operator’s manuals before operat-  
ing the machine. To get replacement manuals, send  
complete model and serial number to:  
6. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants  
and a helmet is advisable and required by some local or-  
dinances and insurance regulations.  
7. Make sure the work area is clear of objects which  
might be picked up and thrown by the reels.

While Operating  
10. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-  
quate ventilation. Exhaust is hazardous and could be  
deadly.  
17. Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop sud-  
denly when traveling uphill or downhill.  
18. Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive  
on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may  
cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly re-  
sulting in personal injury or death.  
11. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-  
chine.  
12. Check interlock switches daily for proper operation.  
If a switch fails, replace it before operating the machine.  
The interlock system is for your protection, so do not by-  
pass it. Replace all interlock switches every two years.  
19. When operating 4 wheel drive machine, always use  
the seat belt and ROPS together and have seat pivot re-  
taining pin installed.  
13. This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A)  
at the operator position. Ear protectors are recom-  
mended for prolonged exposure to reduce the potential  
of permanent hearing damage.  
20. If engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make  
it to the top of a slope, do not turn machine around. Al-  
ways back slowly straight down the slope.  
21. Raise cutting units and latch them securely in trans-

port position before driving from one work area to anoth-  
er.  
22. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while  
engineisrunningorsoonafteritisstopped. Theseareas  
could be hot enough to cause burns.  
15. Pay attention when using the machine. To prevent  
loss of control:  
A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good artifi-  
cial light.  
23. If cutting unit strikes a solid object or vibrates abnor-  
mally, stop immediately, turn engine off, set parking  
brakeandwaitforallmotiontostop. Inspectfordamage.  
If reel or bedknife is damaged, repair or replace it before  
operating. Do not attempt to free blocked cutting unit by  
moving Mow/Backlap lever rapidly between FORWARD  
andBACKLAP. Damage to hydraulic system may result.  
Lever should easily return and hold in the STOP posi-  
tion.  
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.  
C. Be extremely careful when operating close to  
sand traps, ditches, creeks, steep hillsides or other  
hazards.  
D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid  
sudden stops and starts. Use ground speed limiter  
lever to set pedal travel so excessive ground speed  
will be avoided during mowing and transport.  
24. Before getting off the seat:  
A. Move traction pedal to neutral.  
B. Set parking brake.  
E. Look to the rear to assure no one is behind the  
machine before backing up.  
C. Disengage cutting units and wait for reels to  
stop.  
F. Watch for traffic when near or crossing roads. Al-  
ways yield the right–of–way.  
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.  
G. Reduce speed when driving downhill.  
E. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are  
chocked or blocked.  
16. Keep hands, feet, andclothing away from moving

Maintenance and Service  
26. Before servicing or making adjustments, stop en-  
gine and remove key from the switch.  
34. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor  
setting. Maximum engine speed is 2500 rpm + or – 100  
rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized  
Toro Distributor check maximum engine speed.  
27. Assure entire machine is properly maintained and  
in good operating condition. Frequently check all nuts,  
bolts and screws.  
35. Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the  
crankcase.  
28. Frequently check all hydraulic line connectors and  
fittings. Assure all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good  
condition before applying pressure to the system.  
36. Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. If  
battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test  
procedures, temporarily connect the battery.  
29. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or  
nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use  
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic  
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and  
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin  
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doc-  
tor or gangrene may occur.  
37. Toro recommends that two people be used to back-  
lap reels. Each person has specific duties and you must  
communicate with one another.  
38. For optimum performance and safety, use genuine  
Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement  
parts and accessories made by other manufacturers  
could be dangerous and may void the product warranty  
of The Toro Company.  
30. Before any hydraulic system maintenance, stop en-  
gine and lower cutting units to the ground so all pressure  
is relieved.  
39. When changing attachments, tires, or performing  
other service, use correct blocks, hoists, and jacks.  
Make sure machine is parked on a solid level floor such  
as a concrete floor. Prior to raising the machine, remove  
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and  
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block  
wheels. Used jack stands or solid wood blocks to sup-  
port the raised machine. If the machine is not properly  
supported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may  
move or fall, which may result in personal injury.  
31. For major repairs or other assistance, contact your  
local Toro Distributor.  
32. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area  
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean  
protective screen on back of engine frequently.  
33. If engine must be running to perform maintenance  
or an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other  
parts of the body away from cutting units and other mov-  
ing parts. Keep everyone away.

Torque Specifications  
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the  
following tables. For critical applications, as determined  
by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that  
is unique to the application is clearly identified and spe-  
cified in this Service Manual.  
As noted in the following tables, torque values should be  
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve  
the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may  
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded  
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value  
should be determined based on the aluminum or brass  
material strength, fastener size, length of thread en-  
gagement, etc.  
These Torque Specifications for the installation and  
tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners which  
do not have a specific requirement identified in this Ser-  
vice Manual. The following factors shall be considered  
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use  
of a thread sealant (Loctite), degree of lubrication on the  
fastener, presence of a prevailing torque feature, hard-  
ness of the surface underneath the fastener’s head, or  
similar condition which affects the installation.  
The standard method of verifying torque shall be per-  
formed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)  
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.  
Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until  
the lines match up.

Introduction  
This Chapter gives information about specifications,  
maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, and repair of the  
diesel engine used in the Reelmaster 4000–D.  
test equipment and the specialized nature of some re-  
pairs may dictate that the work be done at an engine re-  
pair facility.  
Most repairs and adjustments require tools, which are  
commonly available in many service shops. Special  
tools are described in the Kubota Workshop Manual,  
03 Series, Diesel Engine. The use of some specialized  
test equipment is explained. However, the cost of the  
Service and repair parts for Kubota diesel engines are  
supplied through your local Kubota dealer or distributor.  
If no parts list is available, be sure to provide yourdistrib-  
utor with the Toro model and serial number.

ceed 40 psi to prevent damage to the filter element.  
Rinse filter from clean side to dirty to side.  
9. Inspect new filter for shipping damage. Check seal-  
ing end of filter. Do not install a damaged filter.  
C. Dry filter element using warm, flowing air of not  
o
o
greater than 160 F (71 C), or allow element to air–  
dry. Do not use a light bulb to dry the filter element  
because damage could result.  
10. Insert new filter properly into air cleaner body. Make  
sure filter is sealed properly by applying pressure to out-  
er rim of filter when installing. Do not press on flexible

DANGER  
Becausedieselfuelishighlyflammable, usecau-  
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke  
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank  
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is  
in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside  
and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-  
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety–ap-  
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-  
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other  
purpose.

tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke  
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank  
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is  
in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside  
and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-  
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety–ap-  
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-  
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other  
purpose.

General Information  
Hydraulic Hoses  
Hydraulic hoses are subject to extreme conditions such  
as, pressuredifferentialsduringoperationandexposure  
to weather, sun, chemicals, very warm storage condi-  
tions or mishandling during operation or maintenance.  
Theseconditionscancausedamageorprematuredete-  
rioration. Some hoses are more susceptible to these  
conditions than others. Inspect the hoses frequently for  
signs of deterioration or damage.  
WARNING  
Before disconnecting or performing any work  
on hydraulic system, all pressure in system  
must be relieved by stopping the engine and  
lowering or supporting the box and/or other at-  
tachment.  
When replacing a hydraulic hose, be sure that the hose  
is straight (not twisted) before tightening the fittings.  
This can be done by observing the imprint on the hose.  
Usetwowrenches;onetoholdthehosestraightandone  
to tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fitting.  
Keepbodyandhandsawayfrompinholeleaks  
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 do serious damage. If  
fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgi-  
cally removed within a few hours by a doctor  
familiar with this type of injury or gangrene  
may result.

In an emergency, the traction unit can be pushed or  
towed for a very short distance by using the traction  
pump by–pass valve.  
IMPORTANT: Do not push or tow the traction unit  
faster that 2 to 3 MPH (3 to 5 Km/Hr) because the hy-  
draulic system may be damaged. If traction unit  
must be moved a considerable distance, transport  
it on a truck or trailer.

Hydraulic Flow Diagrams (2WD Machines Only)  
General Pump Flow  
Refer to “Engine Run – No Functions” Flow Diagram  
The traction, reel, and auxiliary pumps are directly  
coupledtotheengine. Withallcontrolsinneutralandthe  
enginerunning, thesteer–liftpumpdrawsoilthroughthe  
suction line from the reservoir. Priority output flow is di-  
rected to the steering function. Excess flow exits the  
secondary output of the pump and is directed to the lift  
valve.  
After joining with oil returning from other functions  
through the drain block, the oil flows through the oil cool-  
er to dissipate heat from the hydraulic system and then  
through the filter to collect any particles in the hydraulic  
system.  
Clean oil is collected at the filter by the charge pump.  
This oil is used to maintain a supply of oil to the closed–  
loop traction circuit to prevent cavitation. The charge  
pressure is regulated by a relief internal to the traction  
pump. The charge pressure may be monitored at the  
pressure tap port on top of the charge pump.  
The flow continues through the lift valve where it meets  
the counterbalance valve. The counterbalance valve  
“super–charges” the incoming oil before allowing the oil  
to continue on its return path back to the sump tank. The  
counterbalance pressure may be monitored at pressure  
tap port 3.  
Oil collected by the reel pump is directed to the reel  
speed valve and split into two variable flows. Primary oil  
is directed to the reel “On–Off” control valve. With the  
valve in the “Off” position, the oil is returned directly to  
the drain block. The remaining oil will also return to the  
tank through the drain block.  
The oil pressure provided by the counterbalance valve  
will be used to reduce the cutting unit weight on the turf  
during the mowing function.

Lift/Lower Circuit  
Refer to “Lift Circuit” Flow Diagrams  
The lift cylinders are controlled by an open center valve  
with three spools. The number 4 and 5 cutting units are  
independently controlled. The center spool controls the  
number 1, 2, and 3 cutting units.  
while the cutting unit is lowering will lock the cutting unit  
at any position by trapping oil between the valve and cyl-  
inder.  
The cylinders work against counterbalance pressure  
during lowering. For this reason, the cutting units will  
drop faster at slow engine speeds or low counterbal-  
ance pressures compared to full engine speed or high  
counterbalance pressures. The counter balance pres-  
sure may be monitored at pressure tap port 3.  
To lift the cutting units, the engine must be running  
above half throttle. The flow of oil from the steer and lift  
pump is used to accomplish the lift function. Holding a  
lever in the “LIFT” position will direct the flow of oil to the  
lift cylinder and raise the cutting unit. Oil pressure to the  
lift cylinder is monitored during LIFT by a relief at the  
valve inlet. System pressure may be monitored at the  
pressure tap port on the lift valve.  
Since the lift levers are spring loaded from return to neu-  
tral, a detent plunger latches the spool in the valve to  
hold the spool in a “Free Float” position. The position en-  
ables the cutting units to follow ground contours by al-  
lowing a two–way flow between the lift valve and lift  
cylinders.  
Moving the lever forward will open a path for oil to es-  
cape from the lift cylinder. The weight of the cutting unit  
willpushoilfromthecylindersthroughthevalveallowing  
the cutting unit to lower. Moving the lever into “LIFT”

cutting units to be operated in several configurations for  
easier control, better clearance, or closer trimming.  
5 shut–off valve. If the Number 4 cutting unit is in the  
raised position, the oil will bypass the Number 4 reel mo-  
tor and be available directly to the Number 5 shut–off  
valve.  
The reel pump supplies a constant flow of oil to the reel  
speed control valve. The reel speed is variable and ad-  
justable by the operator to supply a flow of oil to the reel  
“On–Off” valve. Oil not needed to obtain the selected  
reel speed is directed back to the sump tank through the  
drain block, oil cooler, and filter.  
With the Number 5 cutting unit in the down and mowing  
position, the Number 5 shut–off valve will allow the oil  
through to drive the reel motor. If the Number 5 cutting  
unit is in the raised position, the oil will bypass the Num-  
ber 5 reel motor and return to the reel “On–Off” valve.  
From the reel “On–Off” valve, the oil returns to the sump  
tank through the drain block, oil cooler, and filter.  
When the reel “On–Off” valve lever is moved into “Mow”  
to engage the reels, a spool in the valve is shifted to di-  
rect oil to the shut–off valve at the front of the unit. With  
the Number 1, 2, and 3 cutting units in mowing position,  
the shut–off valve will allow oil to flow to the Number 2,  
3, and 1 reel motors. The oil is also available for use at  
the Number 4 shut–off valve. If the Number 1, 2, and 3  
cutting units are in the raised position, the oil will bypass  
these motors and be available directly to the Number 4  
shut–off valve.  
“Backlap” is provided by pulling the reel “On–Off” valve  
lever up and back. The backlap function requires that  
the lever be held in this position for safety. The direction  
of flow in “Backlap” is the opposite of “Mow”. Some units  
will include a low–speed backlap valve in the circuit to  
remove some oil flow from the circuit during the backlap  
function. The reduced oil flow results in a slower reel  
speed in “Backlap”, but does not affect performance  
during “Mow”.  
With the Number 4 cutting unit in the down and mowing  
position, the Number 4 shut–off valve will allow the oil  
through to drive the reel motor and then to the Number  
Systempressure may be monitored at pressure tap 4 for  
either “Mow” or “Backlap”.

Troubleshooting  
The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic sys-  
tem is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing  
equipment and a thorough understanding of the com-  
plete hydraulic system.  
Continued use of an improperly functioning hydraulic  
system could lead to extensive internal component  
damage.  
The charts that follow contain information to assist in  
troubleshooting. There may possibly be more than one  
cause for a machine malfunction.  
A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat  
or noise is a potential 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.  
Refer to the Testing section of this Chapter for precau-  
tions and specific test procedures.

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.)  
WARNING  
Keepbodyandhandsawayfrompinholeleaks  
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high  
pressure. Do not use hands to search for  
leaks; use paper or cardboard. 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. Gan-  
grene may result from such an injury.  
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.  
Precautions for Hydraulic Testing  
1. Clean machine thoroughly before disconnecting or  
disassembling any hydraulic components. Always keep  
in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hy-  
draulic equipment. Contamination will cause excessive  
wear of components.  
CAUTION  
Failure to use gauges with recommended pres-  
sure (psi) rating as listed in test procedures  
could result in damage to the gauge and possible  
personal injury from leaking hot oil.  
2. Put metal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left  
open or exposed during testing or removal of compo-  
nents.  
All testing should be performed by two (2)  
people. One person should be in the seat to oper-  
ate the machine, and the other should read and  
record test results.  
3. The engine must be in good operating condition.  
Use a phototac when performing a hydraulic test. En-  
gine speed can affect the accuracy of the tester read-  
ings.  
CAUTION  
4. The inlet and the outlet hoses must be properly con-  
nected and not reversed (tester with pressure and flow  
capabilities)to prevent damage to the hydraulic tester or  
components.  
Operate all hydraulic controls to relieve system  
pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hy-  
draulic oil. Controls must be operated with the  
ignition switch in OFF. Remove key from the igni-  
tion switch.  
5. When using tester with pressure and flow capabili-  
ties, open load valve completely in the hydraulic tester  
to minimize the possibility of damaging components.  
6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make  
sure that they are not cross–threaded before tightening  
them with a wrench.  
WARNING  
Before disconnecting or performing any work  
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the  
system must be relieved. Stop engine; lower or  
support attachments.  
7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine  
parts from contacting and damaging the hoses or tester.  
8. Check oil level in the hydraulic tank. After connect-  
ing test equipment, make sure tank is full.  
9. Check control linkages for improper adjustment,  
binding,or broken parts.

sonal injury from the rotating reel blades.  
Check Relief Pressure  
7. Position reel speed control knob to minimum  
speed. Start engine and move throttle to low idle speed  
of 1200 RPM.  
NOTE: The reel motor has an internal relief valve that  
relieves when the pressure across the motor exceeds  
1500 + 100 PSID.  
IMPORTANT: Each reel motor has two cross–over  
reliefs. Test relief in the backlap direction only if a  
problem is expected.

perature by operating the machine for approximately 10  
minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.  
8. Gently ease reel control lever to MOW. If testing the  
reel motor in the backlap direction, gently ease reel con-  
trol lever to BACKLAP. Slowly raise engine speed to  
high idle speed of 2400 RPM while monitoring pressure.  
The pressure difference between the two gauges  
should be from 1400 to 1600 PSI.

Reassembly  
Check all mating surfaces. Replace any parts that have  
scratches or burrs that could cause leakage. Clean all  
metal parts in clean solvent. Blow dry with air. Do not  
wipe dry with cloth or paper towel because of lint or other  
matter can get into the hydraulic system and cause da-  
mage. Do not use a coarse grit, try to file or grind these  
parts.  
NOTE: Lubricate all seals with clean petroleum jelly  
such as Vaseline.  
Do not use excessive lubricant on seals for meter sec-  
tion.  
Refer to parts listing covering your steering control unit  
when ordering replacement parts. A good service policy  
is to replace all old seals with new seals.

Disassembly of the Rear Wheel Drive Motor  
Cleanliness is extremely important when repairing a hy-  
draulic motor. Work in a clean area. Before disconnect-  
ing the lines, clean the port area of the motor thoroughly.  
Use a wire brush to remove foreign material and debris  
from around the exterior joints of the motor. Check the  
shaft and keyslot, remove all nicks, burrs or sharp edges  
that might damage the bearing housing seals when  
installing the shaft and bearing assembly. Before start-  
ingthedisassemblyprocedures, draintheoilfrominside

Change Hydraulic Oil  
Normally, change hydraulic oil after every 2 years or  
1500 operating hours. If oil becomes contaminated,  
contact your local TORO distributor because the system  
must be flushed. Contaminated oil looks milky or black  
when compared to clean oil.

Special Tools  
Order special tools from the TORO SPECIAL TOOLS  
AND APPLICATIONS GUIDE (COMMERCIAL PROD-  
UCTS).  
Some tools may also be available from a local supplier.  
Multimeter  
The meter can test electrical components and circuits  
for current, resistance, or voltage.  
NOTE: Toro recommends the use of a DIGITAL Volt–  
Ohm–Amp multimeter when testing electrical circuits.  
The high impedance (internal resistance) of a digital me-  
ter in the voltage mode will make sure that excess cur-  
rent is not allowed through the meter. This excess  
current can cause damage to circuits not designed to  
carry it.

Special non–conductive grease (Toro Part No. 505–47)  
which forms a light protective skin which helps water-  
proof electrical switches and contacts.

Component Testing  
For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, elec-  
trically disconnect the component being tested from the  
circuit (e.g. unplug the ignition switch connector before  
doing a continuity check).  
CAUTION  
When testing electrical components for continu-  
ity with a multimeter (ohms setting), make sure  
that power to the circuit has been disconnected.  
NOTE: For more component testing information, see  
the Kubota Workshop Manual for 03 Series Diesel En-  
gine.  
Ignition Switch  
The ignition (key) switch has three positions (OFF, RUN,  
and START). The terminals are marked as shown. The  
circuitry of the ignition switch is shown in the chart. With  
the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the switch func-  
tions may be tested to determine whether continuity ex-  
ists between the various terminals for each position.  
Verify continuity between switch terminals.

Hydraulic Oil Filter Switch  
The oil filter switch is activate by the differential pressure  
across the oil filter. When differential pressure is be-  
tween 16 to 20 PSID, a normally open contact closes. An  
alarm sounds and a warning light comes on at the instru-  
ment panel. When the differential pressure drops be-  
tween 16 to 12 PSID the switch contact opens and the  
alarm and light go out.  
1
2
The purpose of the oil filter switch, warning light, and  
alarm is to detect a clogged oil filter. When the hydraulic  
o
o
oil is cold (below 68 F/15 C), the oil is thicker and  
causes a greater pressure drop across the filter. This sit-  
uation will cause the oil filter warning alarm and light to  
come on. Push the silence button until the hydraulic oil  
warms up. The warning light will stay on until the oil  
warms up (about 5 to 15 minutes).

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 do serious damage. If  
fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgi-  
cally removed within a few hours by a doctor  
familiar with this type of injury or gangrene  
may result.

Service and Repairs  
NOTE: For more component repair information, see  
Kubota Workshop Manual, 03 Series, Diesel Engine.  
Battery Storage  
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days  
3. Leave cables disconnected if the battery is stored  
on the machine.  
1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery  
Service).  
4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick  
deterioration of the battery charge.  
2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine.  
5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure  
it is fully charged (see Battery Service).  
Battery Care  
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-  
tained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the  
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are  
extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly  
than if the machine is stored in a location where temper-  
atures are cool.  
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide  
good electrical contact.  
WARNING  
Connecting cables to the wrong post could re-  
sult in personal injury and/or damage to the  
electrical system.  
WARNING  
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when  
working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a  
well ventilated place so gasses produced  
while charging can dissipate. Since the gases  
are explosive, keep open flames and electrical  
sparks away from the battery; do not smoke.  
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Un-  
plug charger from electrical outlet before con-  
necting or disconnecting charger leads to or  
from battery posts.  
4. If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect cables.  
Always disconnect negative (–) cable first. Scrape  
clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect cables  
with positive (+) cable first. Coat terminals with petro-  
leum jelly.  
5. Check electrolyte level every 25 operating hours,  
and every 30 days if machine is in storage.  
6. Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized  
water. Do not fill cells above the fill line.  
2. Keep top of battery clean by washing periodically  
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda  
solution. Flush top surface with water after cleaning. Do  
not remove the fill cap while cleaning.

Removal  
C. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top  
of the battery which might indicate a loose or mis-  
sing filler cap, overcharging, loose terminal post, or  
overfilling. Also, check battery case for dirt and oil.  
Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda and  
water, then rinse it with clean water.  
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage terminal  
posts or cable connectors when removing the bat-  
tery cables.  
1. Remove battery retainer from the battery.  
2. Remove lock nut and cap screw from ground cable  
(–) post first and remove cable from battery. This should  
prevent short circuiting the battery, other components,  
or the operators hands.  
D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away.  
Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.  
E. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the lev-  
el is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all  
cells with distilled water between the minimum and  
maximum fill lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15  
minutes to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.  
3. Remove lock nut and cap screw from positive (+)  
cable post and remove cable from battery.  
4. Make sure battery vent caps are on tightly.  
2. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.  
5. Remove battery from the battery compartment to a  
service area. This will minimize possible battery dam-  
age and allow better access for inspection and service.  
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is  
clean before opening the battery caps.  
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing (Fig. 27)  
A. Measure the specific gravity of each cell with a  
hydrometer. Draw electrolyte in and out of the  
hydrometer barrel prior to taking a reading to warm–

3. Perform a high–discharge test with an adjustable  
load tester.  
Installation  
This is one of the most reliable means of testing a battery  
as it simulates the cold–cranking test. A commercial bat-  
tery load tester is required to perform this test.  
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible electrical prob-  
lems, install only a fully charged battery.  
1. Make sure ignition switch and all accessories are  
off.  
CAUTION  
2. Make sure battery compartment is clean and re-  
painted if necessary.  
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when us-  
ing a battery tester.  
3. Make sure all battery cables and connections are in  
good condition and battery clamp or hold down has  
been repaired or replaced.  
A. Check the voltage across the battery terminals  
prior to testing the battery. If the voltage is less than  
12.4 VDC, recharge the battery.  
4. Place battery in its compartment. Make sure battery  
is level and flat. Connect positive cable connector onto  
positive battery post. Tighten cap screw and lock nut  
with two wrenches.  
B. If the battery has been charged, apply a 150 amp  
load for 15 seconds to remove the surface charge.  
Use a battery load tester following the manufactur-  
er’s instructions.  
5. Secure battery retainer. Do not overtighten to pre-  
vent cracking or distorting the battery case.  
C. Make sure the battery terminals are free of corro-  
sion.  
6. Apply a light coat of grease on all battery posts and  
cable connectors to reduce corrosion after connections  
are made.  
D. Measure the temperature of the center cell.  
E. Connect a battery load tester to the battery ter-  
minals following the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions. Connect a digital multimeter to the battery

Adjustments  
CAUTION  
Never install or work on the cutting units or lift  
arms with the traction unit engine running. Al-  
ways stop the engine and remove the key first.  
Adjust Reel to Bedknife Contact  
The cutting units will provide optimum mowing perfor-  
mance when adjusted and maintained correctly. Keep-  
ing a precise reel to bedknife adjustment (light contact),  
at each end of the cutting unit will produce a continual  
self–sharpening action. Therefore, sharp cutting edges  
are maintained, good quality of cut assured, and the  
need for corrective re–sharpening reduced.  
Note: Before adjusting height–of–cut and each day  
before operating, check reel to bedknife contact regard-  
less if previous quality of cut had been acceptable.  
Figure 5  
CAUTION  
1. Adjuster locking nut  
2. Adjustment knob  
Before adjusting reel to bedknife, raise and fully  
latch cutting units. Remove key from the ignition  
switch. Keep others off machine while adjusting  
cutting units.  
IMPORTANT:Adjusted correctly so that the reel will  
cut a piece of paper approximately 0.003 inch  
(0.076mm) thick across its entire length.  
3. Ifexcessivecontactisdetermined, turneachadjust-  
ing knob equally and counter–clockwise until no contact  
is noticed. Then turn both adjusting knobs equally and

reel and bedknife. Final adjustment should always be  
in the tightening (clockwise) direction.  
Note: A 3/4–inch wrench is required for making the  
reel to bedknife adjustment.  
CAUTION  
IMPORTANT:Cutting units with excessive contact  
between the reel and bedknife are noisy, consume  
excessive power, shorten component life and result  
in overall poor performance. Light contact between  
the reel and bedknife, once the cutting unit is  
warmed up, provides optimum mowing perfor-  
mance and component life.  
When adjusting the cutting units, wear heavy  
gloves and use care when turning reels by hand.  
Sharp edges can cut or pinch hands or fingers.  
1. Rotate reel slowly and carefully while listening for  
light contact across the full length of the reel and bed-  
knife.  
4. Tighten adjuster locking nuts when adjustments are  
complete.  
2. If no contact is determined, loosen adjuster locking  
nut on each adjuster (Fig. 5). Turn each adjuster knob

Height–of–Cut Adjustment (Floating Cutting Unit)  
Overview of Procedure:  
1. Adjust reel to bedknife contact  
2. Level rear roller to reel  
3. Adjust initial height–of–cut using gauge bar.  
1. Adjust reel to bedknife contact on all cutting units.  
(see Adjust Reel to Bedknife Contact).  
2. Level rear roller to the real.  
A. Start engine and lower the cutting unit onto a flat  
surface such as a piece of 3/4–inch (1.9 cm) plate  
steel of at least 20 x 30 inches (50 x 76 cm). Stop  
engine and remove key from ignition switch. Lock  
cutting units in the fixed position by loosening the  
jam nut on the lockout pin (Fig. 6) and screwing the  
pin into the hole in pivot arm (Fig. 7). Tighten nut to  
secure lockout. Raise front rollers up so they do not  
contact the flat surface.  
Figure 6  
Cutting Unit Float Position  
1. Lockout pin  
2. Jam nut  
Note: Using a bar 3/8inch (9.5 mm) thicker than  
height–of–cut provides the proper bedknife attitude  
(heeled ”up” in back), which is required for excellent low  
height–of–cut performance.  
B. Insert a piece of bar stock 25 to 28 inches (64 to  
71 cm) long and approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)  
thicker than the desired height–of–cut under the  
reel and up against the bedknife cutting edge. The  
reel (not bedknife) must contact the bar stock along  
its full length (Fig. 8).  
Figure 7  
Cutting Unit Fixed Position  
C. Loosen rear roller jam nuts and adjusting knobs.  
Push roller down against the flat surface. At this  
point the reel should contact the bar stock, and the  
rear roller should contact the flat surface. Contact  
should exist along the entire length of the reel and  
rear roller. Tighten rear roller adjustment knobs and  
jam nuts. Make sure roller and reel are both still  
making contact after the jam nuts have been tight-  
ened. Check roll contact by trying to slide paper be-  
tween the roller and the flat surface.

3. Make final height–of–cut adjustment with gauge  
bar.  
A. Raise cutting units and lock in the transport posi-  
tion. Shut off the engine and remove the key from  
the ignition switch.  
B. Use gauge bar (Toro Part No. 59–7900) to set fi-  
nal height–of–cut by adjusting the front roller only.  
C. Loosen gauge bar jam nut and adjust screw to  
set dimension between underside of screw head  
and gauge bar for desired height–of–cut (Fig. 9).  
Tighten jam nut to secure the adjustment. Hook  
screw head over cutting edge of the bedknife and  
position bar against bottom of front roller (Fig. 10).

(9.5 MM) HEEL UP*  
D. Loosen front roller nuts, and adjust both ends of  
the front roller until it contacts the gauge bar at both  
ends. With the gauge bar held firmly against the bot-  
tom of the rollers, adjust front roller so the screw  
head slips just over the lip of the bedknife (Fig. 10).  
Tighten front roller nuts.  
IMPORTANT:When set properly, the front and rear  
rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw  
head will be snug over bedknife cutting edge when  
checked at both ends of the reel.

E. Loosen lockout pin so cutting unit can float freely  
(Fig. 6).  
Quick Method For Changing Height–of–Cut After Initial Set Up of a Floating Cutting Unit  
If the reel to bedknife adjustment has been set in STEP  
1 of Height–of–Cut Adjustment (Floating Cutting Unit)  
and the rear roller leveled to the reel in STEP 2 of  
Height–of–Cut Adjustment (Floating Cutting Unit), the  
cutting unit may be quickly changed from one height–  
of–cut to another by using the gauge bar (Part  
#59–7900) and adjusting the front roller only. In many  
cases, an entire machine can be done quickly by using  
the gauge bar to set the front roller of one cutting unit.  
The remaining cutting units can then be set by loosening  
their front roller jam nuts and turning each front roller ad-  
justment knob the same number of turns and in the  
same direction as the first unit.

Service and Repairs  
CAUTION  
Never remove, install, or work on the cutting  
unitsorliftarmswiththetractionunitenginerun-  
ning. Stop engine and remove key from ignition  
switch first.  
Backlapping  
2nd Person’s Duties:  
CAUTION  
1. Instruct operator when to start and stop the reels.  
During backlap operation the reels are under  
power. Contact with rotating reels can result in  
personal injury. Do not adjust cutting units while  
the engine and reels are operating.  
CAUTION  
Never use a short–handle paint brush to apply  
backlappingcompound. Arotatingreelcanpulla  
short–handle paint brush and the users hand  
into the reel causing serious personal injury.  
Two people are required to perform backlapping.  
One person sits on the seat to operate the con-  
trols (operator) and the other performs the back-  
lapping operation. Good communication be-  
tween each person is necessary. Instruct opera-  
tor to stop the reels and shut the engine off when  
adjustment is necessary.  
2. Dip 3–inch (76 mm) wide paint brush attached to  
Toro Part No. 29–9200 Handle Assembly into lapping  
compound. Stand clear and instruct operator to engage  
the reel into the backlap mode.  
Use a good grade of medium grit (80 coarseness) lap-  
ping compound with a water soluble carrier. Mix dry lap-  
ping compound with liquid detergent until it has a  
free–flowing consistency.  
3. Apply lapping compound evenly over the full length  
ofthereel. Makesureallreelbladesarecovered. When-  
ever noise of reel against the bedknife begins to disap-  
pear or, an uneven concentration of material appears on  
the reel, redistribute the compound with the brush.  
Note: Before starting the engine, raise grass deflector  
on the center cutting unit and tighten fasteners to retain  
the deflector in the raised position.  
4. When it becomes necessary to adjust the reel to the  
bedknife, instruct operator to disengage reel, stop en-  
gine, and remove key from the ignition switch. Make ad-  
justment only after the reels have stopped rotating.  
Operator Duties:  
1. Sit on seat and engage parking brake.  
5. Backlap each reel until the cutting edges are sharp,  
even on all blades. Achieve a minimum of 1/32 inch  
(0.79 mm) land area on newly sharpened reel assem-  
blies. Normally, a reel need only be backlapped for  
approximately 3 minutes.  
2. Start engine and run at minimum throttle. Lower ei-  
ther the center and two front cutting units, the left hand  
cutting unit, or the right hand cutting unit.  
3. When both side cutting units are up and latched (au-  
tomatically shut off) with the center and front cutting  
units down, backlap the center cutting unit from the rear  
of the machine with the long handled brush. Backlap  
front cutting units from the front of the machine.  
6. Upon completion, stop reel and turn off engine. Re-  
move key from the ignition switch. Wash unit thoroughly  
withalowpressurestreamofwatertoremovealllapping  
material. Allow reel to dry. Lubricate grease fittings.  
4. Wait for 2nd person’s instruction to engage reels in  
backlap mode, then pull mow–backlap lever to the  
BACKLAP position and hold.  
7. Checksharpnessofthereelandbedknifewithnews  
paper strips. Light reel to bedknife contact should shear  
the paper cleanly across the reel’s entire width. If the pa-  
per is not sheared acceptably, continue backlapping.  
5. Follow 2nd person’s instructions. Be prepared to  
stop reels and engine quickly in case of an emergency.  
8. Proceed backlapping the remaining cutting units.  
Note: See  
Toro  
Sharpening  
Manual  
(Part  
#80–300PT) for additional backlapping information.

Hydraulic Motor Installation  
1. Install drive plate shield onto the reel drive motor  
flange. Be sure the widest portion of the shield is at the  
top (Fig. 13).  
IMPORTANT:Make sure motor pulley set screws are  
tight on the motor shaft before installing the motor  
onto the cutting unit (Fig. 14).  
2. Insert reel drive motor pulley through the housing,  
and slip cutting unit drive belt over the pulley (Fig. 13).  
Note: Proper belt tension is achieved when the belt  
deflects about 1/8 inch (3 mm) at the mid–point when 7  
lb (31 N) of force is applied.  
3. Inserttwo(2)reeldrivemotormountingbolts(heads  
on the inside of the drive housing with flat washer on the  
top bolt through the reel motor flange holes. Thread  
locknuts onto the bolts. Rotate reel motor upward in the  
slotted hole in the housing to tension the drive belt.  
Tighten fasteners to 25 ft–lbs (34 Nm). NOTE: (Fig. 15).

3. Drive belt  
IMPORTANT:When hydraulic motors have been  
mounted to the cutting units, make sure hydraulic  
hoses lay flat and do not contact the frame of the  
machine when the cutting units are in the raised  
position. There should also be sufficient slack so  
hoses are above and not in contact with the floata-  
tion kit. If hoses appear twisted once the hydraulic  
motors have been mounted and the belts tightened,  
loosen swivel nuts at the motor and reposition  
hoses. This can greatly increase the life of the  
hoses. With cutting units down, all cutting unit  
hoses should have a flat natural lay and be free from  
twist.

Lubrication  
Use a hand–operated grease gun and No. 2 general  
purpose grease to lubricate the eight grease fittings.  
IMPORTANT:Before washing the machine, shut off  
the engine and remove the key. Toro recommends  
daily lubrication of reels and rollers immediately af-  
ter washing the machine. This helps to minimizewa-  
ter entering the reel and roller bearings. If the  
cutting units are washed in the raised position be  
sure to lower them to the ground after washing. This  
allowswatertodrainfromtheendsoftherollersand  
reel bearing housings.  
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag before  
greasing.  
IMPORTANT:Applying too much pressure will ruin  
the seals and leaking grease could cause damage to  
grass.  
2. Lubricate reel shaft and roller bearings daily with 3  
or 4 pumps of grease. Daily lubrication of these fittings  
purges water and other contaminants, increasing ser-  
vice life and maintaining excellent quality–of–cut (Fig  
31).  
Figure 31  
3. Lubricate floatation kit pivots (Fig. 32) and Fixed  
head pivots (Fig. 33) weekly with one pump of grease.  
4. Wipe excess grease from the fittings.  
Note: When greasing roller bearings–grease forced  
from bearings will not be visible around the roller shaft.
