Washing The Vehicle - Toro 07253TC Operator's Manual

Charging the Battery
Important
Always keep the battery fully charged
(1.260 specific gravity). This is especially important
to prevent battery damage when the temperature is
below 0°C (32°F).
1. Remove the battery from the chassis; refer to
Removing the Battery, page 32.
2. Connect a 3- to 4-amp battery charger to the
battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4
amperes for 4 to 8 hours (12 volts). Do not
overcharge the battery.
3. Install the battery in the chassis; refer to Installing
the Battery, page 32.
WARNING
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks
and flames away from the battery.
Storing the Battery
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days,
remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it
on the shelf or 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.

Washing the Vehicle

The vehicle should be washed as needed. Use water
alone or with a mild detergent. A rag may be used,
however, the hood will loose some of its luster.
Important Pressurized water is not recommended
when washing the machine. It may damage the
electrical system, loosen important decals, or wash
away necessary grease at friction points. Avoid
excessive use of water, especially near the control
panel, engine, and battery.
