Avoiding Injury to Bystander Always clear the area of bystanders before starting or testing powered equipment. Avoiding Projectile Injuries Always clear the area of any debris that could be picked up and thrown by the powered equipment. Avoiding Laceration and Amputation Injuries Stay clear of all moving parts whenever the engine is running.
Page 14
Avoiding Injuries from the Battery (continued) • Observe the battery for at least 1 hour to ensure that any reaction has stopped. If the reaction continues, or if any smoke is observed, call your local emergency services immediately. Safe Maintenance Practices Personal Protective Equipment •...
Page 15
Avoiding Fire and Explosions • Use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is flammable and its vapors are explosive. • Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition. • Avoid spilling fuel and never smoke while working with any type of fuel or lubricant.
Page 16
Jacking Instructions DANGER If the machine is not properly raised and supported, the machine may move or fall, which may result in personal injury. • Use only mechanical or hydraulic jacks to raise the machine. • Do not use the hydraulic wheel motors as a jacking or support location. •...

Torque Specifications The recommended fastener torque values are listed in the following tables. For critical applications, as determined by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that is unique to the application is clearly identified and specified in this Service Manual.
Page 26
Calculating the Torque Values When Using a Drive- Adapter Wrench (continued) determine proper tightening torque. When using a torque wrench with a drive-adapter wrench, the calculated torque will be lower than the listed torque recommendation. Example: The measured effective length of the torque wrench (distance from the center of the handle to the center of the square drive) is 457 mm (18 inches).
Page 27
Toro recommends replacing fasteners with a locking feature once they have been removed because the effectiveness of the locking feature diminishes with each reuse. If it is necessary to reuse a fastener with a locking feature; apply a thread locking compound (Loctite for example) to the fastener during installation.

Fresh air filter Orifice adapter ProCore 648s aerators are equipped with a fuel evaporative control system designed to collect and store evaporative emissions from the fuel tank. The evaporate control system uses a carbon canister and a series of vent hoses to collect these evaporative emissions.
Page 126
Fuel Evaporative Control System (continued) The carbon canister is mounted to a bracket behind the fuel tank. The evaporative system connection to the engine passes through an orifice (metered restriction) and a vacuum check/purge valve before connecting to the engine intake manifold. The evaporative control system vent connection passes through a fresh air filter before it reaches the carbon canister.

7. After towing and before starting the engine, tighten the bypass valve. Traction Circuit Component Failure The traction circuit of ProCore 648s machines is a closed loop system that includes the hydraulic pump and hydraulic wheel motors. If a component in the traction circuit should fail, unwanted material and contamination from the damaged component will circulate throughout that traction circuit.
Page 142
If the hose has an elbow at one end, tighten the swivel nut on the elbow end before you tighten the nut on the straight end of the hose. For more hydraulic hose information, refer to the Toro Basics Series Training Book Hydraulic Hose Servicing (Part No. 94813SL).

Hydraulic Schematics The hydraulic schematic for the ProCore 648s machine is located in 9 Appendix A, page 9–1. Traction Circuit The hydraulic traction circuit is a closed loop system consisting of an electro- hydraulic servo controlled variable displacement piston (traction) pump and a series of hydraulic wheel motors.
Page 150
Traction Circuit (continued) Primary controller uses the sensor signal to send a corresponding PWM output to the REV (top) solenoid valve on the traction pump servo piston assembly, which moves the pump swash plate to create a flow of oil. The oil flow exits the traction pump B port and flows to the rear wheel motors and then to the front wheel motor to drive the wheels in the reverse direction.
Page 151
Coring Head Lift Circuit The gear pump supplies oil flow for the coring head lift circuit and provides a constant supply of charge oil to the closed loop traction circuit. Coring Head Idle When the coring head lift system is not actively raising, or lowering, check valves in the de-energized proportional solenoid valves SP1 (raise) and SP2 (lower) hold the coring head lift cylinder stationary.
Page 154
Testing the Hydraulic System The most effective procedure to isolate the problems in the hydraulic system is to use hydraulic test equipment, such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits during different operational checks; refer to Special Tools, page 2–14.
Page 155
IMPORTANT Use 2 people to perform all the tests, with 1 person in the Operator’s position and the other to read and record the test results. • Use the following resources to assist with hydraulic system troubleshooting: – The Hydraulic Schematic in 9 Appendix A, page 9–1.
Page 156
• Position any test hoses away from parts that may move during the test procedure. • After you connect the test equipment, check the hydraulic-fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir and ensure that the fluid level is correct. • Perform all the hydraulic tests with the hydraulic fluid at normal operating temperature.

Traction Circuit—Wheel Motor Efficiency Wheel motor efficiency is the second in a series of tests recommended to determine traction circuit performance. Too much hydraulic fluid flow through a single stationary wheel motor under load indicates an internal leak in the wheel motor. A worn wheel motor is less efficient.

Traction Circuit—Gear Pump Flow The gear pump is designed to satisfy the traction charge circuit and lift cylinder needs.

Electrical System Quick Checks Testing the Charging System This is a simple test that determines if a charging system is functioning. It tells you if the charging system has an output, but not its capacity. 1. Use a digital multimeter to set DC volts and connect the positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post and negative (-) multimeter lead to the negative battery post.

Checking the Operation of the Interlock Switches (continued) 3. Try to start the engine with the aeration (coring head) bail engaged; the engine should not start. 4. Operate the machine in the forward direction and depress the bump-stop: the machine should stop moving forward. If in Aeration mode, the coring should raise and stop.

Fusible Link Harness (continued) fusible link ring terminal with battery terminal protector; refer to Battery Terminal Protector, page 2–17. Fuses The individual control circuits are protected by a variety of fuses (A1/A2 – C5/C6) found in the fuse block located in the machine console (battery and electronics enclosure) on the left side of the machine frame.
Page 229
Fuses (continued) Testing the Fuses 1. Turn the key switch to the O position. Do not start the engine. 2. With the fuse installed in the fuse holder/block, use a multimeter to check that 12 VDC exists at both terminal test points on the fuse. If 12 VDC exists at 1 of the fuse test points but not at the other, the fuse is damaged.
