Toro 75501 Manual page 10

Training
•
Never allow children or untrained people to
operate or service the charger. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator. The owner
is responsible for training all operators and
mechanics.
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on
the charger and in the manual before operating
the charger. Be familiar with the proper use of the
charger.
Preparation
•
Keep bystanders and children away while
charging.
•
Wear appropriate clothing while charging,
including eye protection; long pants; and
substantial, slip-resistant footwear.
•
Shut off the machine and wait until the machine
has completely powered down before charging.
Failure to do this may cause arcing.
•
Ensure that the area is well ventilated while
charging.
•
Read and follow all precautions for charging.
•
Use only a power cord approved by Toro.
Operation
•
Do not charge a frozen battery.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Do not carry the charger
by the cord or yank on the power supply cord to
disconnect the charger from the receptacle. Keep
the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
•
Connect the charger directly to a grounding
receptacle. Do not use the charger on an
ungrounded outlet, even with an adaptor.
•
Do not alter the provided power cord or plug.
•
Avoid dropping a metal tool near or onto a battery;
it might cause a spark or short-circuit an electrical
part that could lead to an explosion.
•
Remove metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a
lithium-ion battery. A lithium-ion battery can
produce enough current to cause a severe burn.
•
Never operate the charger without good visibility
or light.
•
Use an appropriate extension cord.
•
If the power supply cord is damaged while it is
plugged in, disconnect the cord from the wall
receptacle and contact an Authorized Service
Dealer for a replacement.
•
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet when
not in use, before moving it to another location, or
prior to servicing it.
Maintenance and Storage
•
Store the charger indoors in a dry, secure place
that is out of the reach of unauthorized users.
•
Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger
to an Authorized Service Dealer when service or
repair is required.
•
Unplug the power cord from the outlet before
starting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce
risk of electric shock.
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels
as needed.
•
Do not operate the charger with a damaged
cord or plug. Replace a damaged cord or plug
immediately.
•
If the charger has received an impact, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged, do not use it;
take it to an Authorized Service Dealer.
Maintenance Safety
•
If you leave the key in the switch, someone could
accidently start the machine and seriously injure
you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the
switch before you perform any maintenance.
•
Before you leave the operator's position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Disengage the drives.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the machine and remove the key.
– Allow machine components to cool before
performing maintenance.
•
Do not allow untrained personnel to service the
machine.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Check the parking brake operation frequently.
Adjust and service it as required.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Do not rely on hydraulic or mechanical jacks to
support the machine; support the machine with
jack stands whenever you raise the machine.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition
and all hardware tightened, especially the
blade-attachment hardware. Replace all worn or
damaged decals.
•
Disconnect the battery before repairing the
machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal
first and the negative last.
