Towing Traction Unit IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe damage to the piston pump may occur. If it becomes necessary to tow (or push) the machine, tow (or push) in a forward direction only and at a speed below 3 mph. The piston (traction) pump is equipped with a by--pass valve that needs to be turned for towing.

Problem Possible Causes Four wheel drive will not engage. Electrical problem exists (see Chapter 5 -- Electrical System). Solenoid valve on 4WD hydraulic manifold is faulty. Cartridge valve in 4WD manifold is damaged or sticking. Rear axle motor is damaged. Four wheel drive will not disengage.
Page 64
Problem Possible Causes Cutting decks drop too fast or too Flow control valve is not adjusted properly. slow. Cutting deck will not lower. Lift arm pivots are binding. Lift cylinder is damaged. Counterbalance pressure is excessive. Lift/lower control valve is worn or damaged. Pilot valve in lift/lower manifold is damaged or sticking.
Testing The most effective method for isolating problems in the hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment WARNING such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits during various operational checks (See the Special Before disconnecting or performing any work Tools section in this Chapter).

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.
Troubleshooting For effective troubleshooting and repairs, you must have a good understanding of the electrical circuits and CAUTION components used on this machine (see Chapter 9 − Electrical Diagrams). Remove all jewelry, especially rings and If the machine has any interlock switches by−passed, watches, before doing any electrical trouble- shooting or testing.
Problem Possible Causes Engine cranks, but does not start. Engine is not cranking fast enough. Engine run solenoid, circuit wiring, or fuel pump is faulty. The problem is not electrical (see Chapter 3 − Kubota Engine). Starter cranks, but should not when the traction pedal The traction neutral switch is out of adjustment.

Adjustments Wing Deck Position Switches Adjustment 1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck, stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition switch. 2. Remove switch cover from deck to allow access to position switch that requires adjustment. NOTE: Use Deck Proximity Switch Adjustment Tool (TOR4095) to assist with switch adjustment (see Spe- cial Tools).
Cutting Deck Raise and Lower Switches Adjustment (Fig. 6) 1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck, stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition switch. Remove console housing. 2. The cutting deck raise and lower switches can be ad- justed for correct operation by repositioning the switch(es).
Component Testing For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, elec- trically disconnect the component being tested from the CAUTION circuit (e.g. unplug the ignition switch connector before doing a continuity check). When testing electrical components for continu- NOTE: For engine component testing information, see ity with a multimeter (ohms setting), make sure the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, V2003−T that power to the circuit has been disconnected.
Fuses The fuse blocks are located under the operator’s control console. Identification, Function, and Wiring The fuses are held in two fuse blocks. Use Figure 11 to identify each individual fuse and its correct amperage. Each fuse holder has the following functions and wires connected to it.
PTO Switch The PTO switch is attached to the control console next to the operator seat (Fig. 15). The switch terminals are marked as shown in Figure 16. The circuitry of the PTO switch is shown in the chart be- low.
Transport, Alarm Silence, and Temperature Override Switches The transport, alarm silence, and temperature override rocker switches are located on the control console (Fig. 18). These switches have common switching logic. The switch terminals are marked as shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20.
Seat Switch The seat switch is normally open and closes when the operator is on the seat. If the traction system or PTO switch is engaged when the operator raises out of the seat, the engine will stop. The seat switch and its electri- cal connector are located directly under the seat (Fig.
Hour Meter The hour meter is located on the control console next to the operator seat. 1. Disconnect harness connector from hour meter. 2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of a 12 VDC source to the positive (+) terminal of the hour meter. 3.
Start, Engine Shutdown, Seat, PTO, Alarm, Down Latching, and Over Temperature Relays These seven relays are located under the console hous- ing cover. The wiring harness is tagged to identify each relay. Testing NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a digital multimeter, short the meter test leads together.

Fuel Pump The fuel pump is attached to the fuel tank support above the fuel/water separator (Fig. 34). IMPORTANT: When testing fuel pump, make sure that pump is not operated dry. Operational Test 1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units, stop engine, and engage parking brake.
Glow Controller The glow controller is located under the console cover. NOTE: Refer to Chapter 9 − Electrical Schematics and Diagrams when troubleshooting the controller. Controller Operation 1. When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the controller energizes the glow plugs and illuminates the glow indicator light for approximately 7 seconds.

Traction Neutral Switch The traction neutral switch is closed when the traction pedal is in the neutral position and opens when the pedal is depressed in either direction. The switch is located on the right side of the piston (traction) pump (Fig. 42). Test the switch by disconnecting the wires from the switch terminals and connecting a continuity tester across the two switch terminals.
Diode Circuit Board (Fig. 44) The diode circuit board contains four diodes and is lo- cated under the console housing. Diode D1−A provides logic for the interlock system. Diodes D1−B (right wing deck), D1−C (front deck), and D1−D (left wing deck) pro- D1−D vide latching circuits for the PTO relay.
Wing Deck Position Switches The wing deck position switches on the Groundsmaster 4100−D are attached to the center deck housing (Fig. 45) and are normally open. The wing deck position switch is a powered proximity switch that incorporates an internal reed switch and relay (see schematic in Fig- ure 46).
Cutting Deck Raise and Lower Switches The deck raise and lower switches are normally open proximity switches that are located under the console housing (Fig. 48). These identical switches are mounted in opposite directions so their circuit logic differs. The ac- tuator for the switches is on the center deck lift/lower le- ver.
Service and Repairs NOTE: For more component repair information, see the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, V2003−T Series at the end of Chapter 3 − Kubota Diesel Engine. Hydraulic Valve Solenoids The hydraulic valve solenoids can be replaced without opening the hydraulic system. 1.
A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solu- tion of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water. B. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with skin−over grease (Toro Part No. 505-165) or petro- leum jelly to prevent corrosion. Rev. E Electrical System Page 5 −...
Battery Service 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. CAUTION When working with batteries, use extreme cau- tion to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte. Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or eyes.
