Battery Maintenance
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.
IMPORTANT: Before welding on the machine, dis-
connect both cables from the battery and the termi-
nal connector from the alternator to prevent
damage to the electrical system.
1. Loosen knobs securing battery cover to machine.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with electrolyte. Charge
the battery in a well ventilated so gases
produced while charging can dissipate.
Since the gases are explosive, keep open
flame and electrical spark away from the
battery; do not smoke. Nausea may
result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug
charger from electrical outlet before con-
necting to, or disconnecting charger
leads from battery posts.
