Checking The Angle Indicator - Toro 03170 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage
the tractor 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.
1. Positive (+) battery cable
Important: If the battery is ever removed, make
sure that the battery clamp bolts are installed
with the bolt heads positioned on the bottom
side and the nuts on the top side. If the clamp
bolts are reversed, they may interfere with the
hydraulic tubes when shifting the cutting units.
9. Coat both battery connections with Grafo 112X
(skin over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, petroleum
jelly, or light grease to prevent corrosion.
10. Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal to
prevent a possible short from occurring.
11. Install the battery cover.

Checking the Angle Indicator

Parts needed for this procedure:
1 Inclinometer
Procedure
DANGER
To reduce risk of injury or death due to rollover, do
not operate the machine on side hills steeper than
25º.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface.
2. Verify that the machine is level by placing a hand
held inclinometer (supplied with the machine) on
the frame cross rail, by the fuel tank (Figure 6). The
inclinometer should read zero degrees when viewed
from the operator's position.
1. Angle indicator
3. If the inclinometer does not read zero degrees,
move the machine to a location where a zero degree
reading is obtained. The angle indicator, mounted on
the machine, should now read zero degrees as well.
4. If the angle indicator does not read zero degrees,
loosen the two screws and nuts securing the angle
indicator to the mounting bracket, adjust the
indicator to obtain a zero degree reading, and tighten
the bolts.
