Filtering Closed- Loop Traction Circuit
Filtering ofa closed- loop hydraulic system aftera major
component failure (e.g. traction (piston) pump or wheel
motor) is a requirement to prevent debris from transmit-
ting throughout the system. If a closed- loop hydraulic
systemfiltering toolisnot usedto ensuresystem cleanli-
ness, repeat failures, as well as subsequent damage to
other hydraulic components in the affected system, will
occur. To effectively remove contamination from
closed-looptractioncircuit,useoftheTorohighflowhy-
draulic filter and hydraulic hose kits are recommended
(see Special Tools in this chapter).
1. Parkmachineonalevelsurfacewithenginestopped
and key removed from ignition switch.
2. Raise and support machine so all wheels are off the
ground (see Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 - Safety).
NOTE: If wheel motor was replaced, install high flow fil-
ter to the inlet of the new motor instead of to the piston
pump fitting. This will prevent system contamination
from entering and damaging the new wheel motor.
3. Thoroughly clean junction of hydraulic hose and left
side elbow fitting on bottom of piston (traction) pump
(Fig. 5 1). Disconnect hose from left side pump fitting.
4. Connect Toro high flow hydraulic filter in series be-
tween piston (traction) pump fitting and disconnected
hose. Use hydraulic hose kit (see Special Tools in this
chapter) to connect filter to machine. Make sure that fit-
ting and hose connections are properly tightened.
IMPORTANT: Use only hydraulic fluids specified in
Operator ’sManual. Otherfluidscould causesystem
damage.
5. After installing high flow filter to machine, check and
fill hydraulic reservoir with new hydraulic oil asr equired.
6. Start engine and run at idle speed. Check for any hy-
draulic leakage from filter and hose connections. Cor-
rect any leaks before proceeding.
CAUTION
Allwheelswill beoff theground androtatingdur-
ing this procedure. Make sure machine is well
supported so it will not move and accidentally
fall to prevent injuring anyone around machine.
IMPORTANT: While engaging the traction circuit,
monitor the indicator on the high flow hydraulic fil-
ter. If the indicator should show red, either reduce
pressure on the t raction pedal or reduce engine
speed to decrease hydraulic flow through the filter.
7. With engine running at low idle speed, slowly move
the traction pedal to the forward direction to allow flow
throughthe tractioncircuitand highflowfilter.Keeptrac-
tion circuit engaged for five (5) minutes while gradually
increasing both forward pressure on traction pedal and
engine speed. Monitor filter indicator to make sure that
green color is showing during operation.
8. With engine running at high idle speed and traction
pedal moved to the forward direction, periodically apply
brakes to increase pressure in traction circuit. While
monitoring filter indicator, continue this process for an
additional five (5) minutes.
IMPORTANT: Ifusing afilterthat isnot theToro high
flow filter that is bi- directional, do not press the
traction pedal in the reverse direction. If flow is re-
versed when using a filter that is not bi- directional,
debris from the filter will re-enter th e traction cir-
cuit.
9. With engine running at high idle speed, alternately
movetractionpedalfromforward toreverse.While mon-
itoring filter indicator, continue this process for an addi-
tional five (5) minutes.
10.Shut engine off and remove key from ignition switch.
11.Remove high flow h ydraulic filter and hydraulic hose
kitfrom machine.Connecthydraulichose tolefts ide pis-
ton (traction) pump fitting. Make sure to properly tighten
hose (see Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in the
General Information section of this chapter).
12.Lower machine to ground.
13.Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir and add correct
oil if necessary.
