Cleaning and Storage

Service Interval: Before storage
Before storage
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the PTO, and move the motion-control levers
outward to the P
ARK
2. Shut off the machine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Remove grass clippings, dirt, and grime from
the external parts of the entire machine using
compressed air.
Important:
Do not use water to clean the
machine, otherwise you could damage the
motors and other electric components.
4. Check the brake; refer to
14).
5. Grease the machine; refer to
39).
6. Check the tire pressure; refer to
Tire Pressure (page
7. Check and tighten all fasteners. Repair or
replace any part that is damaged or missing.
8. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces with
paint from an Authorized Service Dealer.
9. Store the machine in a clean, dry, garage or
storage area. Remove the key from the switch
and store it in a memorable place. Cover the
machine to protect it and keep it clean.
10. For prolonged storage, follow the battery

Battery Storage
Requirements
Note:
You do not need to remove the batteries from
the machine for storage.
Refer to the temperature limits for storage in the
following table:
Temperature Limits for Storage
Storage Temperature
45° to 55°C (113° to 131°F)
25° to 45°C (77° to 113°F)
-20° to 25°C (-4° to 77°F)
Important:
Temperatures outside of these ranges
will damage your batteries.
The temperature that the batteries are stored
at will affect their long-term life. Storage for
long periods of time at extreme temperatures
will reduce the battery life. For temperatures
above 25°C (77°F), only store the machine for the
appropriate amount of time indicated in the table.
•
Before you store the machine, charge or discharge
the batteries between 40% to 60% (54.3V to
57.3V).
Note:
A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a
maximum battery life. When the batteries are
charged to 100% before storage, the battery life
shortens.
If you anticipate that the machine will be stored
for a longer period of time, charge the batteries
to around 60%.
•
For every 6 months of storage, check the
battery-charge level and ensure that it is between
40% to 60%. If the charge is below 40%, charge
the batteries between 40% to 60%.
•
You can use a multimeter to check the charge level
when the machine is off. Refer to the following
table for the amount of voltage that is equal to the
charge level:
Voltage
57.3V
55.4V
54.3V
•
After charging the batteries, disconnect the
battery charger from power. Disconnect the
power connector during storage to minimize the
discharging of the batteries.
•
If you leave the charger on the machine, it will
shut off after the batteries are fully charged and
does not turn back on unless the charger is
disconnected and reconnected.
