Cutting Unit Down Sensors; Cutting Unit #6 And #7 Reel On/Off Solenoids - Toro Reelmaster 6500-D Service Manual

Cutting Unit Down Sensor(s)
The cutting unit down switch is a normally open (NO)
reed switch located on the left front lift arm that closes
when the lift arm is in the lowered position. As the lift arm
is lowered, a bracket on the lift arm comes close to the
switch, causing the reed switch to close and complete
the circuit.
This sensor can be tested using the "Input Checks" fea-
ture of the ACE Diagnostic tool.
The sensor can also be tested manually.
1. Disconnect the switch wire connector and install con-
tinuity tester or ohm meter between the two switch
leads.
2. With the lift arm in the lowered position the tester
should show continuity. With the lift arm in the raised
position, the tester should show no continuity.
Note: When the Enable/Disable switch is in ENABLE,
the controller uses inputs from this switch to turn the
cutting units on and off. When raising the cutting units
with the Enable/Disable switch in ENABLE, the cutting
units lift part way to a "turn around" position.
Note: The Reelmaster 6700-D also has sensors on
each rear lift arm (one for cutting unit #6 and one for #7).

Cutting Unit #6 and #7 Reel On/Off Solenoids

These solenoids can be tested using the "Output
Checks" feature of the ACE Diagnostic tool.
The solenoids can also be tested manually.
1. Disconnect the wire connector.
2. Connect a 12 volt battery so the positive (+) battery
terminal is connected to colored solenoid lead. Connect
the negative (-) battery terminal to black lead. The valve
spool should retract completely as 12 VDC is applied be-
tween leads.
3. If valve spool does not operate properly check for
binding or damage to valve.
4. If valve moves smoothly, but does not engage when
12 VDC is applied to solenoid leads, replace solenoid
coil.
5. If valve still does not operate after replacing solenoid
coil, replace the valve (see Chapter 4 - Hydraulic Sys-
tem in this manual).
Solenoid coil resistance:
3.5 Ohms (+ 10%) at 77_F (25_C)
Electrical System (Rev. C)
(front switch for units serial no 220000001 & up shown)
Adjustment
1. Move the lift arm toward the switch as far as it will
move.
2. Move switch to lowest position on front lift arm. Note:
for switch on RM 6700--D rear lift arm, move switch to
highest position.
3. Adjust gap between switch and lift arm flag to .0625"
(1.6 mm).
