Hour Meter; Solenoid Valve Coil - Toro Groundsmaster 3505-D Service Manual

Hour Meter

1. Connect the positive (+) terminal of a 12 VDC source
to the positive terminal of the hour meter.
2. Connect the negative (--) terminal of the voltage
source to the other terminal of the hour meter.
3. The hour meter should move 1/10 of an hour in six
minutes.
4. Disconnect the voltage source from the hour meter.

Solenoid Valve Coil

The hydraulic system on the Groundsmaster 3505--D
uses a solenoid valve coil on the hydraulic manifold (Fig.
9). When the solenoid valve coil (R1) is energized, hy-
draulic flow is directed to the cutting decks.
The standard control module provides current to the so-
lenoid valve coil based on the position of several inputs.
A LED on the standard control module will be illuminated
when the solenoid valve coil is energized.
Testing
NOTE: The solenoid does not have to be removed from
the cartridge valve for testing.
1. Make sure ignition switch is in the OFF position. Un-
plug wire harness electrical connector from solenoid
valve coil.
NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a
digital multimeter, short the test leads together. The me-
ter will display a small resistance value (usually 0.5
ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal re-
sistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this value
from from the measured value of the component you are
testing.
2. Measure resistance between the two solenoid coil
connector terminals. Resistance of the solenoid coil
should be approximately 7.5 ohms.

3. Reconnect wire harness connector to the solenoid
coil.
4. If solenoid coil needs replacement, see PTO Sole-
noid Valve Coil in the Service and Repairs section of this
chapter.
