Storing The Battery; Checking The Fuses - Toro 30381 Operator's Manual

Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage
the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black)
battery cable before disconnecting the
positive (red) cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove
the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on a shelf
or on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it
is stored on the machine. Store the battery in a cool
atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in
the battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make
sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully
charged battery is 1.265-1.299.

Checking the Fuses

The machine fuses are located under the control panel.
Access them through the side panel cover (Figure 64).
