Checking Hydraulic Lines And Hoses - Toro REELMASTER 3100-D Operator's Manual

Maintenance
4. Lubricate a new filter gasket and fill the filter with
hydraulic fluid.
5. Ensure the filter mounting area is clean. Screw the
filter on until the gasket contacts the mounting
plate. Then tighten the filter one-half turn.
6. Start the engine and let run it for about two minutes
to purge air from the system. Stop the engine and
check for leaks.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES
AND HOSES
Daily, check the hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks,
kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose
fittings, weather deterioration and chemical deterioration.
Make all necessary repairs before operating.
WARNING
Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic
fluid. Use a piece of 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
doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.

ADJUSTING THE TRACTION
DRIVE FOR NEUTRAL (Fig. 44)
If the machine "creeps" when the traction pedal is in
neutral, the traction cam must be adjusted.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
engine off.
2. Raise one front wheel and rear wheel off the floor
and place support blocks under the frame.
One front wheel and rear wheel must be raised off
the ground or the machine will move during
adjustment. Make sure the machine is supported
so it will not accidentally fall injuring anyone
under the machine.
3. Loosen the locknut on the traction adjustment cam.
