Important On the following Reelmaster traction units,
a change to the traction unit wire harness is required to
accommodate the TurfDefender. The change allows the
traction unit ignition switch to turn the TurfDefender
“ON” and “OFF”.
Model 03800 – Serial No. 50300 and prior
Model 03801 – Serial No. 50204 and prior
*Model 03502 – Serial No. 51001 thru 51068
*Model 03530 – Serial No. 51001 thru 51074
*Model 03531 – Serial No. 51001 thru 51016
* Reelmaster 5000 series traction units with serial
numbers prior to 51001 require a wire harness adapter and
new hydraulic tank. These components are included in
Hydraulic Tank Kit, Model 03522. Contact your
authorized Toro Distributor for assistance.
If your Reelmaster is not in this serial number range,
proceed to step 12.
11. Update the traction unit wire harness as follows:
• Remove 5 amp fuse from fuse block “B”, slot #3.
This removes power to wire going to leak detector
connector.
• Locate orange wire leading from position “A” on
4–pin leak detector connector on traction unit.
Follow this wire down through sub–harness to the
convoluted tubing over the main harness. Cut
plastic wire ties securing tubing and trace orange
wire into harness about 4 inches. Cut wire at this
location and tape or insulate wire end remaining in
harness.
• Detach the power and ground connector from hour
meter. Locate orange wire leading to hour meter
connector. Locate the midpoint of this wire
between the connector and where it comes out of
main harness. Cut the wire at this point and strip
both ends. Strip end of orange wire from leak
detector connector. Splice the three wire end’s
together by inserting two wires into one side of
supplied butt splice (blue) and one wire into other
side of splice and crimping. After crimping, apply
heat to shrink the vinyl covering of splice.
• Replace any plastic wire ties previously removed.
Re–attach hour meter connector, reinstall 5 amp
fuse removed in step a and confirm operation when
key is switched on.
• Measure the voltage between position “A” and
position “B” on 4–pin leak detector connector.
There should be 12 volts when key switch is in
“ON” position and zero voltage when in “OFF”
position.
12. Inside control console, locate the 4–pin connector
from traction unit’s main wire harness. Remove and
discard connector plug. Plug connector into 4–pin
connector on leak detector harness.
13. Locate (2) spade terminal wires on leak detector
harness. Plug red wire onto (+) positive terminal of
leak detector alarm and other wire onto (–) negative
terminal. Do not switch wire connections.
Check Hydraulic Tank Oil Level
The preferred method of checking the oil level in the
hydraulic tank when a leak detector is installed is by using
the ACE tool (Hand Held Diagnostic Display) or by using
TOROPC. The level Must be checked immediately after
the installation of a leak detector otherwise false alarms
may occur. During daily operation, the leak detector will
check the oil level for you. If the level is ok, the leak
detector will beep once during start up. It is common for
the leak detector to beep once when the key is turned from
”OFF” to ”RUN”, and to beep once again after the
machine has been started. If a dipstick is used to check the
oil level, the level should be approximately 1/4” to 1/2”
below the full mark on dipstick (cold oil).
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank as follows
1. The machine should be on a level surface, the oil
should be cold, and the cutting units should be raised
to the transport position.
2. Remove the oil fill cap from the hydraulic tank.
3. Connect the ACE Handheld Diagnostic Display (or a
laptop with TOROPC running) to the TurfDefender
loopback connector. Place the TurfDefender Overlay
on the tool.
4. Turn the key on, and tool will illuminate. Toggle the
tool to show ”Inputs Displayed”
5. The left side of the tool displays the oil level in the
tank. The oil is at the proper level when the 3rd light
(from the top) or the 3rd and 4th lights are illuminated
(Fig. 13). (When using TOROPC, the 3rd and 4th
inputs may be highlighted).
6. Add or drain oil until the proper level is achieved.
7. Replace the oil–fill cap on the hydraulic tank. Tighten
until snug.
