Turf GuardianTM Leak Detection System (Greensmaster 3100 S/N below 230000001)

Before Start-Up (Cold Oil)

With ignition switch off, solenoid valve is open. Before start-up, hydraulic fluid is at level mark of sight gauge (oil cold). Float is in raised position, keeping alarm circuit open.

To check alarm and delay timer, turn ignition switch to ON, then move leak detector switch rearward and hold. After a one second time delay alarm should sound.

To check leak detector float switch, remove hydraulic tank cap and strainer from neck of tank. Turn ignition switch to ON (DO NOT start engine). Insert a clean rod or screw driver into tank neck and gently push down on switch float. Alarm should sound after a one second time delay.

Normal Operation (Warm Oil)

When key switch is turned on, solenoid valve closes. During normal operation, hydraulic fluid expands, caus- ing it to flow into overflow tank. Float stays in raised position, keeping alarm circuit open.

Leak Alert !

If oil leaks during operation, fluid level drops in system hydraulic tank. This causes float to lower, closing alarm circuit. After a one second delay alarm will sound.

NOTE: During normal operation, with cutting units low- ered, approximately 5 oz. of oil will leak before float switch activates alarm.
