Servicing The Fuses; Storing The Machine - Toro Greensmaster
3150 Operator's Manual

Warning
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
• 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.
Checking the Electrolyte Level
The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained.
Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating hours or
every 30 days when in storage.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
•
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring
inside each cell.

Storing the Machine

If you wish to store the machine for a long period of time,
the following steps should be performed prior to storage:
1. Remove accumulations of dirt and old grass clippings.
Sharpen the reels and bedknives, if necessary; refer to
the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual. Use a rust
preventive on bedknives and reel blades. Grease and oil
all lubrication points; refer to Lubrication, page 28.
2. Block up the wheels to remove any weight on the tires.
3. Drain and replace the hydraulic fluid and filter and
inspect the hydraulic lines and fittings. Replace, if
necessary; refer to Changing the Hydraulic Oil and
Filter, page 33 and Checking the Hydraulic Lines and
Hoses, page 34.
4. All fuel should be removed from the fuel tank. Run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Replace the fuel
filter; refer to Replacing the Fuel Filter, page 33.
5. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the
crankcase. Refill it with fresh oil; refer to Changing the
Engine Oil and Filter, page 30.
6. Remove the spark plugs, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil
into the cylinders, and crank slowly to distribute the oil.
Replace the spark plugs; refer to Replacing the Spark
Plugs, page 32.
7. Clean dirt and chaff from the cylinder, cylinder head
fins, and blower housing.
8. 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. The
specific gravity of a fully charge battery is 1.265–1.299.
Check the electrolyte level every 30 days.
9. If possible, store the machine in a warm, dry location.
