Procedure for Cutting Deck Gear Pump Flow Test
IMPORTANT: Do not fully restrict oil flow through
tester. In this test, the flow tester is positioned be-
fore the relief valve. Pump damage can occur if the
oil flow is fully restricted.
NOTE: Overaperiodoftime,thegearsandwearplates
in the gear pump can wear. A worn pump will by--pass

under heavy cutting conditions. Continued operation
with a worn, inefficient pump can generate excessive
heat and cause damage to the seals and other compo-
nents in the hydraulic system.
7. Watch pressure gauge carefully while slowly closing
the tester flow control valve until 2000 PSI is obtained.
Verify with aphototac thattheengine speedis still2870
RPM.
NOTE: If engine speed drops below 2870 RPM, pump
IMPORTANT: Mow circuit flow for the Groundsmas-
ter 4100/4110 is approximately 16 GPM (61 LPM).
Use 40 GPM Hydraulic Tester #AT40002 (pressure
and flow) for this test (see Special Tools in this
chapter).

Locate PTO control manifold for gear pump section
to be tested (front or LH manifold). Thoroughly clean
junction of manifold fitting and hydraulic hose at PTO
manifold port (P1) (Fig. 43). Disconnect hydraulic hose
from port (P1) fitting.

Install 40 GPM Hydraulic Tester #AT40002 (pres-
sure and flow) in series with the disconnected hose and
hydraulic manifold port(P1).Use hydraulic hose kit(see
Special Tools in this chapter) to connect tester to ma-
chine. Make sure the flow control valve on the tester
is fully open.
