Wiring Repairs
Toro recommends the use of sealed connections when
making wiring repairs on turf maintenance equipment,
especially machines with electronic controllers. Be-
cause of the severe conditions that turf maintenance
equipment operate in, resistance to corrosion and the
durability of the connection are very important.
Single wire joint
Pair to single
wire joint
Two pair wire joint
Heat shrink, solderless crimp connectors, such as Alpha
Fit–Crimp, Molex–BTC Perma–Seal, and 3M Scotchlok
have many advantages:
Butt joint
(to complete, heat
joint and with
pliers squeeze butt
joint closed)
Fast, positive connection with hand actuated tools.
Built–in strain relief.
Few tools required.
Sleeve and connector in one assembly.
Double walled sleeve seals out corrosion.
Greatly enhanced strain relief over standard crimp splices.
Do not put 3 or more
wires together at one
side of the splice be-
cause the sealer may
not flow into the
Void between wires

middle of the wires.
The splices are made of heat shrinking nylon tubing with
a sealer coating the inner wall. To install, crimp the wires
first with the proper tool, then use a heat gun to seal the
splice. You must make sure you have a good crimp,
since this will assure a strong durable splice. When this
splice is made using a good crimper and heat gun, the
repair will be stronger than the wire itself.
1.
Strip wires and insert into splice connector.
2.
Crimp with special tool.
3.
Heat splice with heat gun to seal.
Keep Electrical Connections Dry
Be careful when washing the machine. Use com-
pressed air, not water, to clean under control panels or
other areas where electrical connections can remain
wet and cause corrosion.
A special non–conductive grease is available to protect
exposed electrical connections. This grease forms a
light protective skin to help make electrical switches and
contacts water resistant.
