Battery Care

Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Warning
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Important: Before welding on a machine,
disconnect both cables from the battery, disconnect
both wire harness plugs from the electronic control
unit and the terminal connector from the alternator
to prevent damage to the electrical system.
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal tractor components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
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.
Note: Check battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery
case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly.
To clean the battery, wash the entire case with 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.
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.
