could possibly be deadly. 8. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or
blocked.
4. The slope angle at which the machine will tip is de-
pendent on many factors. Among these are mowing
conditions such as wet or undulating turf, speed (espe-
cially in turns), tire pressure and operator experience. At
side hill angles of 10 degrees or less, the risk of a rollover
is low. As the slope angle increases to a recommended
maximum limit of 15 degrees, the risk of a rollover in-
creases to a moderate level. DO NOT EXCEED A 15
DEGREE SIDE HILL ANGLE BECAUSE THE RISK OF
A ROLLOVER AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IS
VERY HIGH.

Introduction
This Chapter gives information about specifications, Service and repair parts for Kubota engines are sup-
troubleshooting, testing and repair of the Kubota plied through your Authorized Toro Distributor. If no
D1105T diesel engine used in the Groundsmaster parts list is available, be prepared to provide your distrib-
3505--D. Refer to the Traction Unit Operator’s Manual utor with the Toro equipment model and serial numbers
for engine maintenance information. as well as the Kubota engine model and serial numbers.
Most repairs and adjustments require tools which are

commonly available in many service shops. Special
tools are described in the Kubota Workshop Manual,
Diesel Engine, 05 Series included at the end of this
chapter. The use of some specialized test equipment is
explained. However, the cost of the test equipment and
the specialized nature of some repairs may dictate that
the work be done at an engine repair facility.

The traction pump uses a small amount of hydraulic fluid
for internal lubrication. Fluid is designed to leak across
pump parts into the case drain. This leakage results in
the loss of hydraulic fluid from the closed loop traction
circuit that must be replenished.

so that flow goes through the bottom of the valve. Flow
entering the steering control valve at the IN (P) port goes
through the valve and is routed to two places. First, most
of the flow through the valve is by--passed out the AUX
(E) port back through the lift control valve to the hydros-
tat. Second, the remainder of the flow is drawn through
the rotary meter (V1) and out port (R) to the steering cyl-
inder. Flow to the steering cylinder retracts the piston for
a right turn. The rotary meter (V1) ensures that the oil
flow to the cylinder is proportional to the amount of the
turning on the steering wheel. Fluid leaving the steering
cylinder flows back through the steering control valve
then through the OUT (T) port and to the hydrostat
(charge).
The steering control valve returns to the neutral position

when turning is complete.

High Pressure Hydraulic Oil Filter
If a component failure occurs in the closed loop traction

circuit, contamination from the failed part will remain in
the circuit until removed. When connecting hydraulic
test gauges in order to test traction circuit components
or after replacing a failed traction circuit component (e.g.
hydrostat or wheel motor), a high pressure hydraulic fil-
ter can be installed in the traction circuit. The filter will
ensure that contaminates are removed from the closed
loop and thus, do not cause additional component dam-
age.

Adjustments
Braking Valve Adjustment

The braking valve (BV) on the hydraulic manifold con-
trols the stopping time for the cutting deck blades. The
braking valve is adjustable. If adjustment of the braking
valve is correct, the cutting deck blades should come to
a complete stop within 7 seconds after the PTO switch
is disengaged.
If blade stopping time is incorrect, adjustment of the

braking valve (BV) can be performed as follows:
NOTE: Do not remove the braking valve from the hy- 2

draulic manifold for adjustment.
1. Loosen lock nut on braking valve (Fig. 32).

Mark parts if necessary to make sure they will be aligned
properly when reinstalling hydraulic fittings, hoses and
tubes.
Check Hydraulic Lines and Hoses

Check hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked
WARNING lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration and chemical deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before operating equipment.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to
search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is in-
jected into the skin, it must be surgically re-
moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this type of injury. Gangrene may result from
such an injury.

Special Tools
Order special tools from your Toro Distributor. Some
tools may also be available from a local supplier.
Multimeter
The multimeter can test electrical components and cir-
cuits for current, resistance or voltage.
NOTE: Toro recommends the use of a DIGITAL Volt--

Ohm--Amp multimeter when testing electrical circuits.
The high impedance (internal resistance) of a digital me-
ter in the voltage mode will make sure that excess cur-
rent is not allowed through the meter. This excess
current can cause damage to circuits not designed to
carry it.

Fuel Stop Solenoid
The fuel stop solenoid used on the Groundsmaster
3505--D must be energized for the diesel engine to run. 1
The solenoid is mounted to the injection pump on the en-
gine (Fig. 25).
The fuel stop solenoid includes two coils for operation:

the pull coil and the hold coil. When the ignition switch
is turned to START, the fuel stop solenoid is initially ener- 2
gized and the pull coil retracts the solenoid plunger.
Once the plunger is retracted, the hold coil will keep it re-
tracted for continued engine operation. When the sole-
noid is de--energized, the plunger extends to shut off fuel
supply to the engine causing the engine to stop running.
The fuel stop solenoid is grounded through the solenoid Figure 25

height may not always be overcome by adjusting the
machine. It is important to remember that the lower the
height--of--cut, the more critical these factors are.
Factors That Can Affect Quality of Cut
Factor Possible Problem/Correction
1. Maximum governed engine speed. Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust
speed to specifications if necessary.
2. Blade speed. All deck blades should rotate at the same speed.
See items in Troubleshooting Section of Chapter 4 --

Hydraulic System.
3. Tire pressure. Check each tire’s pressure. Adjust to pressures

specified in Traction Unit Operator’s Manual.
4. Blade condition. Sharpen blades if their cutting edges are dull or nicked.
Inspect blade sail for wear or damage. Replace blade if

needed.
5. Mower housing condition. Make sure that cutting chambers are in good condition.
Keep underside of deck clean. Debris buildup will

reduce cutting performance.
6. Height--of--cut. Make sure all cutting units are set at the same
height--of--cut. Set units as specified in the Cutting Unit
Operator’s Manual.
7. Cutting unit alignment and ground following. Check lift arms and cutting unit pivot linkages for wear,
damage or binding. Also inspect for bent or damaged
pivot shafts.
8. Roller condition. All rollers should rotate freely. Replace bearings if worn
or damaged.
