1. Battery eyelet
4. If the eyelets are white, you must add distilled or
deionized water to the batteries; refer to
Distilled or Deionized Water to the Batteries
(page 37).
Adding Distilled or Deionized
Water to the Batteries
Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Every 2 weeks
(whichever comes first)
Important:
Fully charge the batteries before
adding the water to the batteries. While charging,
the electrolyte increases in volume, and filling a
low battery before fully charging the batteries can
cause the electrolyte to overflow and leak out of
the vent.
Important:
Use only clean, distilled or deionized
water to fill the batteries. Using tap water may
damage and reduce the life of the batteries.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, shut off the machine, remove the
key, and raise cargo box;
to the Service Position (page
2. Charge the batteries until a full charge is
achieved; refer to
35).
3. Raise the seat assembly to access the batteries;
refer to Raising and Lowering the Seat Assembly
(page 30).
4. Connect your Toro water hand pump to the
water-fill port (Figure

Adding
1. Water-fill port
2. Hand-pump connector
5. Pump water into the water into batteries until all
of the eyelets on top of the batteries are black,
indicating that they are filled with water.
Important:
Electrolyte will overflow onto other parts
of the machine and severe corrosion and
deterioration may result. Also, overfilling the
battery may reduce the life of the battery.
Changing the Batteries
When the machine begins to lose operating range
or when the length of time to discharge or charge
the battery is significantly reduced, the batteries are
probably wearing and losing their ability to hold a
charge. Take the machine to an Authorized Service
Dealer and have them test the batteries to determine
whether the batteries need to be replaced. The dealer
can then replace the batteries for you. If you wish
to replace the batteries yourself, use the following
procedures:
Disconnecting the Batteries
1. Raise the cargo bed, turn the key switch to the
O position, and remove the key.

2. Disconnect the main negative-battery cable
(black) that connects the bank of batteries to the
ground point of the machine
Note:
compared to battery-interconnect cables.
