Maintenance
Electrical System Safety
•
Disconnect the battery before repairing the
machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal
first and the negative last.
•
Charge the battery in an open, well-ventilated
area, away from sparks and flames. Unplug the
charger before connecting or disconnecting the
battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated
tools.
Servicing the Battery
Service Interval:
Every 25 hours—Check the
electrolyte level. (If the machine is
in storage, check it every 30 days.)
Important:
Before welding on the machine,
disconnect the negative cable from the battery to
prevent damage to the electrical system.
Note:
Check the battery condition weekly or after
every 50 hours of operation. Keep the terminals and
the entire battery case clean because a dirty battery
will discharge slowly. To clean the battery, wash the
entire case with a solution of baking soda and water.
Rinse with clear water. Coat the battery posts and
cable connectors with Grafo 112X (skin-over) grease
(Toro Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion.
