Traction Circuit Component Failure The traction circuit of the Groundsmaster 360 machines is a closed loop system that includes the dual piston (traction) pump and 4 wheel motors. If a component failure occurs in the traction circuit (e.g., traction (piston) pump or wheel motor), unwanted material and contamination from the damaged component will circulate throughout the traction circuit.
For more hydraulic hose information; refer to Hydraulic Hose Servicing of the Toro Basics Series Training Books (Part No. 94813SL) found on the Service Reference Set available from your Authorized Toro Distributor.

Traction Circuits The traction system of the Groundsmaster 360 machines consists of a transmission that is directly connected to, and driven by a coupler attached to the engine flywheel. The traction components include a transmission with 2 independent closed loop circuits, 2 rear wheel motors, 2 front wheel motors, and CrossTrax™...

Page 75
Because the vehicle speed in the reverse direction is typically reduced, there is less hydraulic flow through the traction circuit. This lower flow results in less circuit flow change necessary through the traction manifold assembly and balancing fluid lines.

The transmission case drain allows fluid to return to the hydraulic tank. The Groundsmaster 360 machine includes the feature of allowing the operator to choose between 2 or 4 wheel steering.

The de-energized solenoid valve S1 prevents the hydraulic flow to and from the lift cylinder to keep the cutting deck in the raised position. Hydraulic System: Hydraulic Flow Diagrams Page 4–22 Groundsmaster 360 16225SL Rev C...
Cutting Deck Float The cutting deck float allows the fully lowered cutting deck to follow ground surface contours. On the Groundsmaster 360 machines, the deck lift manifold solenoid valve S1 stays energized for the deck float when the deck is fully lowered.
PTO Circuit The transmission of the Groundsmaster 360 machine consists of a hydraulic, multi-plate clutch that is used to engage the PTO. The hydraulic flow for the PTO clutch engagement is provided by the transmission-charge pump. When the PTO switch is turned on (pulled up), the transmission solenoid valve is energized to allow the hydraulic flow to engage the PTO clutch.
