Hour Meter; Glow Relay - Toro Groundsmaster 4100-D Service Manual

Hour Meter

The hour meter is located on the control console next to
the operator seat.
1. Disconnect harness connector from hour meter.
2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of a 12 VDC source
to the positive (+) terminal of the hour meter.
3. Connect the negative (−) terminal of the voltage
source to the other terminal of the hour meter.
4. The hour meter should move a 1/10 of an hour in six
minutes.
5. Disconnect voltage source from the hour meter. Re-
connect harness connector to hour meter.

Glow Relay

The glow relay is attached to the the right side of the fuel
tank support under the hood (Fig. 24).
Testing
NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a
digital multimeter, short the meter test leads together.
The meter will 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 for the tested component.
1. Disconnect the harness connector from the glow
relay.
2. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), measure coil re-
sistance between terminals 85 and 86 (Fig. 25). Resist-
ance should be between 70 and 100 ohms.
3. Verify infinite resistance (no continuity) between ter-
minals 30 and 87.
4. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay ter-
minals 30 and 87. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12
VDC to terminal 85. The relay should make and break
continuity between terminals 30 and 87 as +12 VDC is
applied and removed from terminal 85.
5. Disconnect meter leads and jumper wires from the
relay terminals. Reconnect glow relay to machine wire
harness.
