Mow And Backlap - Toro Greensmaster 3150 Service Manual

Mow and Backlap

The tandem gear pump is directly coupled to the piston
(traction) pump. The front gear pump section supplies
oil flow to the hydraulic manifold block and to the cutting
reel motors. The gear pump takes its suction directly
from the hydraulic reservoir. Maximum circuit pressure
is limited by solenoid relief valve (S1R1) which is located
in the hydraulic manifold.
With the engine running and the functional control and
joystick levers positioned so the reels will not turn (see
Operator's Manual), solenoid relief valve (S1R1) in the
hydraulic manifold is de--energized. The de--energized
(S1R1) by--passes flow from the front gear pump sec-
tion to the oil filter and hydraulic reservoir. Additionally,
the manifold pressure reducing valve (PRV) will remain
seated to prevent the reel motors (and reels) from rotat-
ing.
Mow
With the engine running and the functional control and
joystick levers positioned so the reels will turn (see Op-
erator's Manual), solenoid relief valve (S1R1) is ener-
gized. In the energized position, this valve directs oil flow
to the reel motors and also functions as the mow circuit
relief valve.

Oil flow from manifold port (P1) flows through the reel
speed control valve (FC1). Flow across the speed con-
trol valve is pressure compensated by the logic cartridge
valve (LC). The logic cartridge valve maintains a pres-
sure differential of 75 PSI (5.2 bar) across the speed
control valve. Any excess flow above the speed control
valve setting is by--passed to the reservoir through the
logic cartridge valve. With the backlap valve (MR) in the
mow position, oil flows through the backlap valve, out
manifold port (MA) and to the reel motors that are con-
nected in series. Oil flows through the left front reel mo-
tor, right front motor and then center motor to turn the
reel motors in the mow direction.
When in the mow position, mow circuit pressure will
cause the hydraulic manifold pilot piston to shift and
open the pressure reducing valve (PRV). The shifted
pressure reducing valve allows circuit oil to return to the
reservoir through the manifold block, oil filter and oil
cooler (if equipped).
Backlap
Backlapping operation is the same as mowing opera-
tion, except for the position of the backlap valve (MR).
When the backlap valve (MR) is in the backlap position,
oil flows through the backlap valve, out manifold port
(MB) and to the reel motors that are connected in series.
Oil flows through the center reel motor, right front motor
and then left front motor as it turns the reel motors in the
backlap direction.
