Servicing The Fuses; Jump-Starting The Machine - Toro Z Master Professional 5000 Series Operator's Manual

Servicing the Fuses

The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check the
component and circuit for a malfunction or short.
1. The fuses are located on right hand console
next to the seat (Figure
2. To replace the fuses, pull out the fuse to remove
it.
3. Install a new fuse

Jump-Starting the Machine

1. Check and clean corrosion from the battery
terminals before jump-starting. Ensure that the
connections are tight.
CAUTION
Corrosion or loose connections can
cause unwanted electrical voltage spikes
at any time during the jump-starting
procedure.
Do not attempt to jump-start with loose
or corroded battery terminals, or damage
to the engine or EFI may occur.

DANGER
Jump-starting a weak battery that is
cracked or frozen, or has a low electrolyte
level or an open/shorted battery cell can
cause an explosion resulting in serious
personal injury.
Do not jump-start a weak battery if these
conditions exist.
2. Ensure that the booster battery is a good and
fully charged lead-acid battery at 12.6 volts or
greater.
Note:
Use properly sized jumper cables with
short lengths to reduce voltage drop between
systems. Ensure that the cables are color coded
or labeled for the correct polarity.
CAUTION
Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly
(wrong polarity) can immediately damage
the EFI system.
Be certain of battery terminal polarity
and jumper cable polarity when hooking
up batteries.

WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce
explosive gases.
• Shield the eyes and face from the
batteries at all times.
• Do not lean over the batteries.
Note:
Ensure that the vent caps are tight and
level. Place a damp cloth, if available, over any
vent caps on both batteries. Also ensure that
the vehicles do not touch and that both electrical
systems are off and at the same rated system
voltage. These instructions are for negative
ground systems only.
3. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery that is wired
to the starter or solenoid as shown in
