Lower Cutting Units - Toro Reelmaster 5500-D Service Manual

Lower Cutting Units

A three section, gear pump is driven off the PTO output
shaft of the hydrostatic transmission. Pump section (P3)
provides oil flow through the steering control valve and
lift manifold to all five cutting unit lift cylinders. Maximum
circuit pressure (1450 PSI) is limited by a relief valve in
the gear pump.
When the cutting units are in the raised position, flow
from the gear pump (P3) passes through the steering
control valve and into the lift manifold. All lift manifold so-
lenoid valves are de-energized and flow is directed to
the hydraulic reservoir.

To lower the cutting units, solenoid valves (SV3), (SV4),
and (SV5) energize along with solenoid valve (SV1). So-
lenoid valve (SV2) is in its normally de-energized posi-
tion, and directs oil flow to the piston end of the lift
cylinders. Hydraulic pressure against the piston side of
the cylinder causes the shafts to extend, and lower the
cutting units. When the solenoids are deenergized, the
lift cylinders are held in the lowered position.
Pressure to the lift manifold can be monitored at port
(G3).
The lowering speed of the cutting units are regulated by
3 flow control valves. Flow control valves (2) that regu-
late lift cylinders #1, 4, and 5 are located on the main lift
manifold below the operator's platform. The remaining
flow control valve that regulates lift cylinders #2 & 3 is lo-
cated in the rear of the traction unit.
