Servicing the Battery

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.
Note: Check the battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep the terminals and the entire battery
case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly. To
clean the battery, remove it from the machine and wash the
entire case with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse it
with clear water. Coat the battery posts and cable connectors
with Grafo 112X (skin-over) grease (Toro part 505-47) or
petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
