5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure
it is fully charged (see Battery Service).
2.

the machine.
Battery Care

Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
tained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly
than if the machine is stored in a location where temper-
atures are cool.
WARNING
Connecting cables to the wrong post could re-
sult in personal injury and/or damage to the
electrical system.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a
well ventilated place so gasses produced
while charging can dissipate. Since the gases
are explosive, keep open flames and electrical
sparks away from the battery; do not smoke.
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Un-
plug charger from electrical outlet before con-
necting or disconnecting charger leads to or
from battery posts.
4.
If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect cables.
Always disconnect negative (−) cable first. Clean
clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect cables
with positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts and cable
connectors with skin−over grease (Toro Part No.
505-165)
or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.

Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized wa-
ter. Do not fill cells above the fill line.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove fill caps while clean-
ing.
2.
Check battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery
case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly.
A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solu-
tion of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water.
B. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with
skin−over grease (Toro Part No. 505-165) or petro-
