General Information
Operator’s Manual
The Operator’s Manual provides information regarding
the operation, general maintenance and maintenance
intervals for your Greensmaster 3250−D. Refer to that
publication for additional information when servicing the
machine.
Check Hydraulic System Fluid

The hydraulic system on the Greensmaster 3250−D is
designed to operate on high quality hydraulic fluid. Refer
to the Operator’s Manual for hydraulic fluid recommen- 1
dations.
2
IMPORTANT: Check level of hydraulic fluid before
engine is first started and daily thereafter. Do not
overfill hydraulic reservoir.
NOTE: If changing from one type of hydraulic fluid to

another, be certain to remove all the old fluid from the
system, as some fluids are incompatible with others.
IMPORTANT: Use only types of hydraulic fluids

specified in the Operator’s Manual. Other fluids may Figure 1
cause system damage. 1. Hydraulic oil cap 2. Filler screen
NOTE: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid

is available in 2/3 oz bottles. One bottle is sufficient for
4 to 6 gallons of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44−2500
from your Authorized Toro Distributor.

Towing Traction Unit
In case of emergency, the Greensmaster 3250−D can
be towed for a short distance. However, Toro does not 1
recommend this as a standard practice.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 2 2

to 3 mph because drive system may be damaged. If
machine must be moved a considerable distance,
transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Locate by−pass valve on the rear side of the piston

pump. Rotate valve 90o so the slot in the valve is vertical.
2. Before starting engine, close by−pass valve by rotat-

ing it back 90o so the slot in the valve is horizontal. Do Figure 2

This can be done by observing the imprint (layline) on
the hose. Use two wrenches; hold the hose straight with
one wrench and tighten the hose swivel nut onto the fit-
ting with the other wrench (See Hydraulic Hose and

bow at one end, tighten the swivel nut on that end before
tightening the nut on the straight end of the hose.

Hydraulic Tester (Pressure and Flow)

This tester requires O−ring face seal (ORFS) adapter fit-
tings for use on this machine. Use hydraulic tester as
recommended in Testing section of this chapter.
1. INLET HOSE: Hose connected from the system cir-

cuit to the inlet side of the hydraulic tester.
2. LOAD VALVE: A simulated working load is created

in the circuit by turning the valve to restrict flow.
3. PRESSURE GAUGE: 0 to 5000 PSI gauge to pro-

vide operating circuit pressure.

High Flow Hydraulic Filter Kit
The high flow hydraulic filter kit is designed with large
flow (40 GPM/150 LPM) and high pressure (5000
PSI/345 bar) capabilities. This kit provides for bi−direc-
tional filtration which prevents filtered debris from being
allowed back into the circuit regardless of flow direction.
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.
piston (traction) pump or wheel motor), the high flow hy-
draulic filter 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 compo-
nent damage. Figure 13

IMPORTANT: Mark the relative positions of the gear
teeth and the bearing blocks so they can be re- 1
assembled in the same position. Do not touch the
gear surfaces as residue on hands may be corrosive
to gear finish.

C. Inspect gear face edge for sharpness. Sharp

edges of gears will mill into bearing blocks and, thus,
must be replaced.
D. Bearing areas of bearing blocks should not have

excessive wear or scoring.

design prevents replacing the O−ring on the inside of the
piston and also the seals on the ball joint end head (item
14). If a steering cylinder leak exists on the non−ball joint
end head (item 4), all seals on that head can be re-
placed. The piston outer seals (items 9 and 10) and wear
ring (item 11) can be replaced as well. If leakage or dam-
age exists at other cylinder locations that cannot be dis-
assembled, steering cylinder replacement will be
necessary.

locally.
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.

Solenoid Valve Coils
The Greensmaster hydraulic control manifold uses sev-
eral hydraulic solenoid valve coils for system control. 3
When the solenoid coils are energized, hydraulic valve 1
shift occurs to control hydraulic circuit flow. Testing of the
4
coils can be done with the coil installed on the hydraulic
valve.
Testing
1. Determine solenoid coil(s) that is to be tested and lo-

cate coil on hydraulic manifold (Fig. 17). Disconnect har- 2
ness electrical connector from solenoid valve coil.
NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a

digital multimeter, short the meter test leads together.
The meter may display a small resistance value (usually
0.5 ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal
resistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this val-
ue from the measured value of the solenoid coil being
testing. Figure 17

NOTE: Solenoid coil resistance should be measured 2. Solenoid S2 4. Solenoid S4
with solenoid at approximately 68oF (20oC). Resistance
may be slightly different than listed at different tempera-
tures. Typically, a failed solenoid coil will either be
shorted (very low or no resistance) or open (infinite re-
sistance).
Electrical
System
2. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), measure resis-
tance between the two (2) connector terminals on the
solenoid valve coil. The resistance for the solenoid coils
is identified below:
Solenoid Valve Coil Resistance

S1R1 and S3 7.1 ohms
S2 and S4 8.6 ohms
3. If solenoid coil resistance is incorrect, replace sole-

noid coil (refer to control manifold service procedures in
the Service and Repairs section of Chapter 4 − Hydrau-
lic System).
NOTE: To assist in troubleshooting, identical solenoid

valve coils can be exchanged. If the problem follows the
exchanged coil, an electrical problem likely exists with
the coil. If the problem remains unchanged, something
other than the solenoid coil is the problem source (e.g.
switch, circuit wiring, hydraulic problem). The control
manifold S1R1 coil is the same as the manifold S3 coil.
The manifold S2 and S4 coils are identical.
4. After coil testing is completed, connect wire harness

electrical connector to the solenoid valve coil.
5. Secure all machine components that were removed

to access hydraulic manifold.

Neutral and Mow Sensors
The neutral and mow sensors are used to determine
when the functional control lever is in the NEUTRAL or
MOW position. These sensors are identical and are nor-
3
mally open reed sensors. They close when the actuator
comes in close proximity to the sensor. The sensors are
attached to the functional control lever bracket under the 1
console panel (Fig. 18). The actuator is attached to the
functional control lever.

section of this chapter). Readjust sensor or actuator if
necessary.

Parking Brake Sensor
The parking brake sensor is normally closed and opens
when the operator applies the parking brake. If the func-
tional control lever is moved out of the NEUTRAL posi- 1
tion and the parking brake is applied, the engine will stop
running. The sensor and its electrical connector are lo-

Backlap Switch
The backlap switch is a normally open ball switch that is
in the normal, open state when the backlap lever is in the
mow position. When the backlap lever is in the backlap

Figure 29
If any of these links should fail, current to the protected
circuit will cease. Refer to the electrical schematic and
wire harness drawings in Chapter 9 − Foldout Drawings
for additional circuit information.

connect positive (+) cable from battery (see Battery
Service in the Service and Repairs section of this chap-
ter). Locate fusible link harness and unplug fusible link
connector from wire harness. Use a multimeter to make
sure that continuity exists between the fusible link termi-
nals. If a fusible link is open, replace the fusible link har-

High Temperature Shutdown Switch
The high temperature shutdown switch is located on the
thermostat housing near the alternator (Fig. 32). The
high temperature shutdown switch has a yellow/red wire
connected to it. 1
CAUTION 2
Make sure engine is cool before removing the

temperature switch.
1. Lower coolant level in the engine and remove the

temperature switch.
2. Put switch in a container of oil with a thermometer

and slowly heat the oil (Fig. 33). Figure 32
1. Temperature switch 2. Alternator
CAUTION
Handle the hot oil with extreme care to prevent
personal injury or fire.
3. Check continuity of the switch with a multimeter

(ohms setting). The high temperature shutdown switch
is normally open and should close at approximately
220oF (105oC).
4. Replace switch if necessary. Figure 33

Oil Pressure Switch
The engine oil pressure switch is located on the engine
near the alternator (Fig. 34). The oil pressure switch is
a normally closed switch that opens with pressure. 1
The oil pressure switch should open at approximately 7

PSI (48.3 kPa).

Fuel Pump
The fuel pump on Greensmaster 3250−D machines is
secured to the radiator assembly with an r−clamp (Fig.
35). The fuel pump is energized when the ignition switch FROM
is in either the RUN or START position. 4
TANK
IMPORTANT: When testing fuel pump, make sure

that pump is not operated without fuel.
DANGER
2
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when handling it. Do not smoke while testing the
fuel pump. Do not test fuel pump while engine is TO ENGINE
hot. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation
when testing. Always wipe up any spilled fuel be- 3 1
fore starting the engine.

is free of obstructions. Also, make sure that fuel shut−off
valve on fuel tank is open.
4. For fuel pump testing, place section of fuel hose on

fuel pump outlet and secure in place with hose clamp.
Place other end of fuel hose into a large, graduated cyl-
inder sufficient enough to collect 1 quart (0.95 liter).
IMPORTANT: When testing the fuel pump, DO NOT

turn ignition switch to START.
5. Collect fuel in the graduated cylinder by turning igni-

tion switch to the RUN position. Allow pump to run for fif-
teen (15) seconds, then turn ignition switch to OFF.
6. Fuel collected in the graduated cylinder should be

approximately 16 fl oz (475 ml) after fifteen (15) sec-
onds.
7. Replace fuel pump if necessary.
8. Remove fuel hose from pump outlet and install ma-

chine fuel supply hose to the pump outlet. Make sure to
secure fuel hose with hose clamp.
9. Bleed the fuel system.

Fuel Solenoid
The fuel solenoid used on Greensmaster 3250−D ma-
chines must be energized for the diesel engine to run.
The fuel solenoid is mounted to the injection pump on
the engine (Fig. 36). The fuel solenoid is energized
when the ignition switch is in either the RUN or START
position.
The fuel solenoid includes two (2) coils for operation: the
pull coil and the hold coil. When the ignition switch is
turned to START, the fuel solenoid pull coil is energized 2
and the solenoid plunger retracts. Once the plunger is
retracted, the hold coil will keep it retracted for continued
engine operation. When the solenoid is de−energized,
the plunger extends to shut off fuel supply to the engine
causing the engine to stop running.
NOTE: A fusible link in the machine wire harness pro-

tects the fuel solenoid pull coil circuit. If this link should 1
fail, the fuel solenoid will not function and the engine will
not run. Refer to electrical drawings in Chapter 10 −

General Information
Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual

The Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual provides informa-
tion regarding the operation, general maintenance and
maintenance intervals for the DPA cutting units on your
Greensmaster 3250−D machine. Additionally, if optional
kits have been installed on the cutting units (e.g. rear
roller brush), the installation instructions for the kit in-
cludes set−up and operation information. Refer to those
publications for additional information when servicing
the cutting units.
Supporting Cutting Unit when Servicing

Whenever the cutting unit has to be tipped to expose the
bedknife or cutting reel, support the rear of the cutting
unit to make sure the nuts on the back of the bedbar ad-
juster screws are not resting on the work surface.

Many turf discrepancies are subtle and require closer
examination. In these instances, the Turf Evaluator
grass viewing tool is helpful. It can assist turf managers
and service technicians in determining causes for poor
reel mower performance and in comparing the effective
height−of−cut of one mowed surface to another. This
tool should be used with the Toro Guide to Evaluation

shooting Aid (Toro part no. 00076SL).
Factor Possible Problem/Correction
Tire pressure Check tire pressure of all traction unit tires. Adjust tire
pressure as necessary.
See the Traction Unit Operator’s manual.
Governed engine speed For best cutting performance and appearance, engine
should be run at maximum governed speed during
machine operation. Check maximum governed engine
speed. Adjust engine to specifications if necessary.
See Chapter 3 − Diesel Engine.
Reel speed All cutting reels must rotate at the same speed (within
100 rpm) (see Troubleshooting in Chapter 4 −
Hydraulic System).
All cutting units must have equal bedknife to reel and

height−of−cut adjustments.
Make sure that reel speed selection is correct (see

Reel Speed Chart in Traction Unit Operator’s Manual).
Reel bearing condition Check reel bearings for wear and replace if necessary.
See Reel Assembly Service in the Service and Repairs

section of this chapter.
Bedknife to reel adjustment Check bedknife to reel contact daily. The bedknife
must have light contact across the entire reel. No
contact will dull the cutting edges. Excessive contact
accelerates wear of both edges. Quality of cut is

adversely affected by both conditions (see Bedknife to
Units
Reel Adjustment in the Cutting Unit Operator’s
Manual).

Reel and bedknife sharpness A reel and/or bedknife that has rounded cutting edges
or “rifling” (grooved or wavy appearance) cannot be
corrected by tightening the bedknife to reel contact.
Grind cutting reel to remove taper and/or rifling. Grind
bedknife to sharpen and/or remove rifling.
The most common cause of rifling is bedknife to reel

contact that is too tight.
Dull cutting edges must be corrected by grinding the

bedknife and cutting reel (see Preparing Reel for
Grinding in the Service and Repairs section of this
chapter).
A new bedknife must be ground flat (within 0.002”)

after installation to the bedbar. Backlapping may
be required to properly mate the reel and bedknife
after installation into the cutting unit.
NOTE: On cutting units equipped with optional

bedknives, slightly dull cutting edges may be corrected
by backlapping (see Backlapping in the Service and
Repairs section of this chapter).
Rear roller adjustment Adjust the rear roller brackets to correct position
depending on the height−of−cut range desired.
See Rear Roller Adjustment in the Cutting Unit

Operator’s Manual.
Height−of−cut “Effective” or actual height−of−cut depends on the

cutting unit weight and turf conditions. Effective
height−of−cut will be different from the bench set

See Height−of−Cut Adjustment in the Cutting Unit

Operator’s Manual.
Proper bedknife selection for height−of−cut desired If the bedknife is incorrect for effective height−of−cut,
poor quality of cut will result.
See Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual for bedknife

options.
Stability of bedbar Make sure bedbar pivot bolts are seated securely.
Check condition of the bushings in the side plates.
See Bedbar Removal and Installation in the Service

and Repairs section of this chapter.
Number of reel blades Use correct number of reel blades for clip frequency
and optimum height−of−cut range.

Roller condition and roller type Make sure rollers rotate freely. Repair roller bearings
as necessary.
See Roller Service in the Service and Repairs section

of this chapter.

General Information
Installation Instructions
The Installation Instructions for the groomer provides information regarding
the set-up, operation, general maintenance procedures, and maintenance
intervals for the groomer assembly on your Greensmaster machine. Refer to the
Installation Instructions for additional information when servicing the groomer
assembly.
Grooming Performance
There are a number of factors that can affect the performance of grooming.
These factors vary for different golf courses and from fairway to fairway. It
is important to inspect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice with
turf needs.
IMPORTANT
Improper or overaggressive use of the groomer (e.g., too deep or

too frequent grooming) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf
leading to severe turf damage. Use the groomer carefully. Read and
understand the groomer operation instructions before operating or
testing the groomer performance.
It is important to remember that the same factors that affect quality of cut also
affect grooming performance.
Variables that Affect the Use and Performance of the Groomer:
1. The growing season and weather conditions.
2. General turf conditions.
3. The frequency of grooming/cutting–number of cuttings per week and how
many passes per cutting.
4. The height-of-cut.
5. The grooming depth.
6. The type of grass.
7. The amount of time that a groomer reel has been in use on a particular turf
area.
8. The amount of traffic on the turf.
9. The overall turf management program–irrigation, fertilizing, weed control,
coring, over-seeding, sand dressing, disease control, and pest control.
10. Stress periods for turf–high temperatures, high humidity, and unusually
high traffic.

Troubleshooting
Grooming Performance
There are a number of factors that can affect the performance of grooming.
These factors vary for different golf courses and from fairway to fairway. It
is important to inspect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice with
turf needs.
IMPORTANT
Improper or overaggressive use of the groomer (e.g., too deep or

too frequent grooming) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf
leading to severe turf damage. Use the groomer carefully. Read and
understand the groomer operation instructions before operating or
testing the groomer performance.
It is important to remember that the same factors that affect quality of cut also
affect grooming performance.
Variables that Affect the Use and Performance of the Groomer:
1. The growing season and weather conditions.
2. General turf conditions.
3. The frequency of grooming/cutting–number of cuttings per week and how
many passes per cutting.
4. The height-of-cut.
5. The grooming depth.
6. The type of grass.
7. The amount of time that a groomer reel has been in use on a particular turf
area.
8. The amount of traffic on the turf.
9. The overall turf management program–irrigation, fertilizing, weed control,
coring, over-seeding, sand dressing, disease control, and pest control.
10. Stress periods for turf–high temperatures, high humidity, and unusually
high traffic.

The optional grooming brush attaches to the groomer in place of the groomer
reel. The grooming brush is removed and installed from the groomer in the same
manner as the groomer reel; refer to The Groomer Reel (page 9–20).
The grooming brush element or shaft can be serviced separately.
To remove the spiral grooming brush from the shaft, remove the lock nut and
J-bolt from both ends of the brush assembly and slide the brush from the shaft.
When assembling the spiral brush to the shaft, make sure that the J-bolts are
installed with the threaded portion on the outside of the brush and tighten the
lock nuts from 2.3 to 2.8 N∙m (20 to 25 in-lb).

Electrical Drawing Designations
Note: A splice used in a wire harness will be identified on the wire harness
diagram by SP. The manufacturing number of the splice is also identified on the
wire harness diagram (e.g., SP01 is splice number 1).
Wire Color
The following abbreviations are used for wire harness colors on the electrical
schematics and wire harness drawings in this chapter.
ABBREVIATION COLOR
BK BLACK
BR or BN BROWN
BU BLUE
GN GREEN
GY GRAY
OR ORANGE
PK PINK
R or RD RED
T TAN
VIO VIOLET
W or WH WHITE
Y or YE YELLOW
Numerous harness wires used on the Toro machines include a line with an
alternate color. These wires are identified with the wire color and line color with
either a / or _ separating the color abbreviations listed above (e.g., R/BK is a red
wire with a black line, OR_BK is an orange wire with a black line).
Wire Size
The individual wires of the electrical harness diagrams in this chapter identify
both the wire color and the wire size.
Examples:
• 16 BK = 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire that has a black insulator
• 050 R = 0.5 mm metric wire that has a red insulator (AWG equivalents for
metric wire appear in the following table)
AWG Equivalents for Metric Wire
Diagram Label Metric Size AWG Equivalent
050 0.5 mm 20 GA
175 0.75 mm 18 GA
100 1.0 mm 16 GA
150 1.5 mm 14 GA
