Toro Groundsmaster 4000-D Service Manual page 313

Some service procedures (e.g. removing the hydraulic
reservoir) require the operator platform to be raised. The
following steps can be used to raise the platform.
Disassembly (Fig. 19)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting
decks, stop engine, apply parking brake and remove
key from the ignition switch.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable from battery ter-
minal and then disconnect positive cable from battery
(see Battery Service in the Service and Repairs section
of Chapter 5 -- Electrical System).
3. Remove steering tower covers (see Steering Tower
in this section).
4. Disconnect machine wire harness connector from
position sensor on traction pedal assembly.
5. Remove fasteners that secure traction pedal as-
sembly to operator platform and then remove traction
pedal assembly from platform (Fig. 21).
6. Disconnect both brake cables from brake pedals and
operator frame (Fig. 22). Access to brake cable jam nuts
can obtained by removing adjustment cover on operator
platform (Fig. 23). Position brake cables away from op-
erator platform.
7. Disconnect all electrical wire harness connections
between operator platform components and main frame
locations. As needed, label disconnected electrical con-
nections for proper installation.
8. On Groundsmaster 4010 machines:
A. Remove operator cab from machine.
B. Remove cable ties that secure operator cab
coolant and air conditioner hoses in engine compart-
ment to allow the operator platform to be raised. Note
location of cable ties for assembly purposes.
NOTE: If desired, operator seat can be removed from
operator platform to reduce overall weight of operator
platform assembly (see Operator Seat in this section).
9. Remove four (4) cap screws, flat washers, plain
washers and lock nuts that secure operator platform to
machine frame.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to not damage the electric-
al wire harness or other components while raising
the operator platform.
10.Carefully raise operator platform as needed to ac-
cess components to be serviced. Support platform to
prevent it from moving or shifting.
