Drive System Maintenance; Changing The Front Differential Oil (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only); Inspecting The Constant Velocity Boot (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only) - Toro 07385 Operator's Manual

•
Keep battery electrolyte level properly maintained.
•
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning.
Do not remove the fill cap while cleaning.
•
Ensure that the battery cables are kept tight on the
terminals to provide good electrical contact.
•
If corrosion occurs at terminals, remove the battery
cover, 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.
•
Maintain cell electrolyte level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the
bottom of the fill ring inside each cell.
•
If you store the machine in a location where temperatures
are extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where
temperatures are cool.
