Service Procedure Icons The following icons appear throughout this Service Manual to bring attention to specific important details of a service procedure. Critical Process This icon is used to highlight: • installing safety equipment (shields, guards, seat belts, brakes and R.O.P.S. components) that may have been removed.
Safety Instructions The Groundsmaster 4500-D and 4700-D are tested and certified by Toro for compliance with existing safety standards and specifications. Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the machine.
Become familiar with the controls and know how to stop the machine and engine quickly. Additional copies of the Operator’s Manuals are available at www.toro.com. • Never allow children to operate the machine. Never allow adults to operate the machine without proper instructions.
C. Apply the parking brake. D. Stop engine and remove key from switch. 7. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is parked (short or long term), the cutting decks should be lowered to the ground. This relieves hydraulic pressure from the deck lift circuit and eliminates the risk of the cutting decks unexpectedly lowering to the ground.
16. At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed to the safety standards for riding mowers. To assure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with the safety standards and the warranty may be voided.

Traction Circuit: LOW Mode The traction circuit piston pump is a variable displacement pump that is directly coupled to the engine flywheel. This pump utilizes an integral electro−hydraulic servo piston assembly that controls the rate and direction of hydraulic flow. Pressing the traction pedal rotates a potentiometer that provides an input to the machine TEC controller.
Page 118
Forward Direction (continued) When in LOW mode position with the traction pedal pushed in the forward direction, oil from the piston pump is directed to the front wheel motors and rear axle motor through a parallel system. Oil flow to the front wheel motors drives the motors in the forward direction and then returns to the piston pump.

This pump utilizes an integral electro-hydraulic servo piston assembly that controls the rate and direction of hydraulic flow. Pressing the traction pedal rotates a potentiometer that provides an input to the machine TEC controller.
Page 121
Forward Direction (continued) When going down a hill, the tractor becomes an over-running load that drives the front wheel and rear axle motors. In this condition, the rear axle motor could lock up as the oil pumped from the motor increases pressure as it returns to the piston pump.
Page 123
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (traction) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hydraulic flow to both the lift control manifold and the steering control valve.

Service and Repairs General Precautions for Removing and Installing Hydraulic System Components Before Repair or Replacement of Components 1. Before removing any parts from the hydraulic system, park machine on a level surface, apply parking brake, lower cutting decks or attachments and stop engine.
Page 190
After Repair or Replacement of Components (continued) oil before starting engine. This will ensure that internal components have adequate lubrication during initial operation. 7. After disconnecting or replacing any hydraulic components, operate machine functions slowly until air is out of system (see Charge Hydraulic System (page 5–95)).
Check Hydraulic Lines and Hoses WARNING 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.
Priming Hydraulic Pumps Whenever the hydraulic system is flushed, the hydraulic system is charged or hydraulic components are installed, it is important to properly prime the hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pump priming ensures that the gear pump and piston (traction) pump have adequate oil during initial start−up and running. The pumps can be primed by using a remote starter switch (see Special Tools (page 2–16)) to crank...
Flush Hydraulic System IMPORTANT Flush the hydraulic system any time there is a severe component failure or the system is contaminated. Contaminated oil may appear milky or black or may contain metal particles. IMPORTANT Flush hydraulic system when changing from petroleum base hydraulic fluid to a biodegradable fluid.
Page 194
Flush Hydraulic System (continued) 6. Connect all hydraulic hoses, lines and components that were disconnected while draining system. IMPORTANT When filling hydraulic reservoir, use only hydraulic fluids specified in Operator’s Manual. Other fluids could cause system damage. 7. Fill hydraulic reservoir with new hydraulic fluid. 8.
To effectively remove contamination from closed−loop traction circuit, use of the Toro high flow hydraulic filter and hydraulic hose kits are recommended (see Special Tools (page 2–16)).
