Maintaining the Batteries
Warning
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal vehicle 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 vehicle.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the vehicle.
• Always keep the battery retainers in place to
protect and secure the batteries.
Warning
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Cleaning the Batteries
Clean the batteries every day before use.
1. Ensure that all of the battery caps are tight.
2. Use a paper towel to clean the batteries.
3. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a
solution of four parts water and one part baking soda.
Also, clean the posts and cable clamps with a post and
clamp cleaner. The posts and clamps should have a
bright metallic shine.
4. Apply a light coating of Toro battery terminal protector.
Setting the Charger Voltage

The incorrect voltage setting on the battery
charger can impair function and damage the charger.

Locate the voltage selector on the rear of the charger.
Adjust the voltage setting by moving the switch on the
voltage selector upward or downward to change the voltage
setting (Fig. 19) The setting is displayed in the window
above the selector.
Note: Use the 100V setting for voltages ranging from 100V
to 120V.
Always use the appropriate power cord for the power outlet
of the country or region charging will occur. Contact your
Authorized Toro Dealer to obtain the correct power cord if
necessary.
Charging the Batteries
A charger is supplied with the vehicle. Always keep the
charger in a dry location. For maximum battery life, charge
the batteries whenever you are not using the vehicle.
Depending on how discharged the batteries are, it may take
up to 16 hours to charge the batteries to full capacity.
Important
Lead-acid batteries do not develop a charge
memory and do not need to be fully discharged before
charging them. Fully discharging the batteries may
damage them. Charge the batteries whenever the vehicle
gets low on power and any time it is not in use; refer to
Using the battery System, page 16.
