Filtering Closed--Loop Traction Circuit
Filtering of a closed--loophydraulic system after amajor
component failure (e.g. traction (piston) pump or front
wheel motor) is a requirement to prevent debris from
transmitting throughout the system. If a closed--loop hy-
draulic system filtering tool is not used to ensure system
cleanliness,repeatfailures,aswellassubsequentdam-
age to other hydraulic components in the affected sys-
tem, will occur. To effectively remove contamination
from closed--loop traction circuit, use of the Toro high
flow hydraulic filter and hydraulic hose kits are recom-
mended (see Special Tools in this chapter).
7. With engine running at low idle speed, slowly move
the traction pedal to the forward direction to allow flow
through thetractioncircuitandhighflowfilter.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: If using a filter that is not the bi--direc-
tional Toro high flow filter, do not press the traction
pedal in the reverse direction. If flow is reversed
when using a filter that is not bi--directional, debris
from the filter will re--enter the traction circuit.

NOTE: If front wheel or rear axle motor was replaced,
install high flow filter to the inlet of new motor instead of
tothe traction pump fitting.This willprevent systemcon-
tamination from entering and damaging the new motor.

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 traction pedal or reduce engine
speed to decrease hydraulic flow through the filter.
