Servicing The Battery - Toro Workman 07390 Operator's Manual

Servicing the Battery

Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Check the
battery-fluid level (every 30 days if
in storage).
Every 50 hours—Check the battery-cable
connections.
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.
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.
•
Keep the 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. Connect 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 runs
down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in
a location where temperatures are cool.
Drive System
Maintenance
Maintaining the Tires,
Wheels, and Suspension
Inspecting the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
The air pressure in the front tires should be 220 kPa
(32 psi) and the rear tires should be 124 kPa (18 psi).
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can
damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment,
so inspect tire condition after an accident.
Important:
Check the tire pressure frequently
to ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not
inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will wear
prematurely and may cause 4-wheel drive to bind.
Figure 61 shows an example of tire wear caused by
under-inflation.

Figure 62 shows an example of tire wear caused by
over-inflation.
