Servicing The Fuses; Jump Starting The Machine - Toro 74942TE Operator's Manual

Servicing the Fuses

The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check the
component/circuit for a malfunction or short.
1. The fuses are located on right hand console next to
the seat (Figure 55).
2. To replace the fuses, pull out on the fuse to remove it.
3. Install a new fuse (Figure 55).
1. Optional
accessory—15 amp
2. Charge—25amp
3. PTO—10amp

Jump Starting the Machine

1. Check and clean corrosion from the battery terminals
before jump starting. Ensure the connections are tight.
CAUTION
Corrosion or loose connections can cause
unwanted electrical voltage spikes at anytime
during the jump starting procedure.
Do Not attempt to jump start with loose or
corroded battery terminals or damage to the
engine or EFI may occur.
DANGER
Jump starting a weak battery that is cracked,
frozen, has low electrolyte level, or an
open/shorted battery cell, can cause an
explosion resulting in serious personal injury.
Do Not jump start a weak battery if these
conditions exist.

2. Make sure the booster battery is a good and fully
charged lead acid battery at 12.6 volts or greater. Use
properly sized jumper cables with short lengths to
reduce voltage drop between systems. Make sure
the cables are color coded or labeled for the correct
polarity.
CAUTION
Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly
(wrong polarity) can immediately damage the
EFI system.
Be certain of battery terminal polarity and
jumper cable polarity when hooking up
batteries.
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.
• Shield the eyes and face from the batteries
at all times.
• Do Not lean over the batteries.
Note: Be sure the vent caps are tight and level. Place
a damp cloth, if available, over any vent caps on both
batteries. Be sure the vehicles do not touch and that
both electrical systems are off and at the same rated
system voltage. These instructions are for negative
ground systems only.
3. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery that is wired to the
starter or solenoid as shown in Figure 56.
