Storing The Battery; Fuses - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal tractor components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
tractor.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage
the tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect
the cables, negative (-) cable first, and scrape
the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
the cables, positive (+) cable first, and coat the
terminals with petroleum jelly.
• Always disconnect the negative (black)
battery cable before disconnecting the
positive (red) cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove
the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on the
shelf on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if
it is stored on the machine. Store the battery in a cool
atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in
the battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make
sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully
charged battery is 1.265–1.299.

Fuses

The fuses in the machine's electrical system are located
under the seat (Figure 48).
