Maintaining the Lithium-Ion
Batteries
WARNING
The batteries contain high voltage, which
could burn or electrocute you.
• Do not attempt to open the batteries.
• Use extreme care when handling a battery
with a cracked case.
• Use only the charger designed for the
batteries (Model 04012).
The lithium-ion batteries hold a sufficient charge to
perform intended work during its life span. During the
first 4 years of operation, the total area that you can
cut per a single full charge is 13,006 m
This performance is based on the following conditions:
•
Your reel blades and bedknives are sharp.
•
The bedknife and reel contact is adjusted per the
Operator's Manual.
•
The groomer is set at half of the height of cut or
higher.
•
The rear roller brushes are set to the lightest
contact.
•
8 miles of transport distance is needed.
•
The golf course that you perform work on is lightly
undulated.
As time goes by, the total amount of work that the
batteries are able to complete on a single charge
gradually diminishes.
Note:
Your results may vary depending on the
distance that you need to transport the machine, the
undulations that you travel across, the contact setting
and sharpness of the bedknife and reel, and other
factors as discussed in this section.
To achieve maximum life and use from your batteries,
follow these guidelines:
•
Do not open the battery. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. If you open the pack,
you will void your warranty . The batteries are
protected by tamper-alerting devices.
•
Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage
or storage area, away from direct sunlight,
heat sources, rain, and wet conditions. Do
not store it in a location where the temperature
drops below -30°C (-22°F) or rises above 60°C
(140°F). Temperatures outside of this range
will damage your batteries. High temperatures
during storage, especially at a high state of charge,
reduces the life of the batteries.
•
When storing the machine for more than 10 days,
ensure that the machine is in a cool and dry
location, out of sunlight, rain, and wet conditions,
and at least 50% charged.
•
If you are mowing in hot conditions or in sunlight,
the battery may overheat. If this happens,
a high-temperature alert will appear on the
InfoCenter. In this condition, the cutting units are
disengaged and the machine slows down.
Immediately drive the machine to a cool location
out of the sun, turn off the machine, and allow the
batteries to cool fully before resuming operation.
•
Adjust the reel-to-bedknife contact to be as light as
possible. This reduces the power that is needed
to run the cutting units, and increases the amount
of work the machine performs on each charge.
Refer to
(page
2 (140,000 ft 2 ).
•
Ensure that the sharpness of the bedknives and
reels are maintained. A dull blade increases power
consumption and reduces the amount of work that
the machine performs on each charge.
•
If you are using groomers, the groomer height
should not exceed more than half of the height
of cut. If the height of cut is over 1/2 inch, the
groomer height should not exceed 1/4 inch.
•
Adjust the rear-roller-brush contact to be as light
as possible. This reduces the power that is needed
to run the cutting units, and increases the amount
of work the machine performs on each charge.
•
Use lights (if your machine is equipped with the
Light Kit) only when it is necessary.
Transporting the
Lithium-Ion Batteries
The US Department of Transportation and
international transportation authorities require that
lithium-ion batteries be transported using special
packaging and only be transported by carriers certified
to haul them. In the US, you are allowed to transport
a battery when it is installed on the machine as
battery powered equipment, with some regulatory
requirements. Contact the US Department of
Transportation or the appropriate government body in
your country for detailed regulations on transportation
of your batteries or the machine with the batteries
equipped.
For detailed information on shipping a battery, contact
your authorized Toro distributor.
