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.
Checking the Battery
Condition
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Important:
Before welding on the machine,
disconnect the negative cable from the battery to
prevent damage to the electrical system. Also,
you must disconnect the engine, InfoCenter,
and machine controllers before welding on the
machine.
Note:
Keep the terminals and the entire battery case
clean, because a dirty battery discharges 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.

Locating the Fuses

Important:
If you are installing an auxiliary
accessory to the machine, the only approved
locations to source power are at the traction-unit
fuse block (Figure 104) or the cab-fuse block
(Figure 106). A maximum of 10 A is available from
either location. Contact your authorized Toro
distributor for assistance.
Note:
Shut off the engine and remove the key before
removing the fuses.
