1. Battery−Disconnect switch
The machine includes a battery−disconnect switch located under the hood in
the right rear corner of the engine compartment. Turning the battery disconnect
switch to the OFF position opens the 12 Volt and 24 Volt battery ground circuit.
The battery disconnect switch should be set to OFF when servicing the machine.
The switch can be locked in the OFF position if desired.
Do Not turn the battery−disconnect switch to the OFF position
while the engine is running. The battery−disconnect switch is not
an emergency shutoff. If the battery disconnect switch is set to OFF
while the engine is running, the engine will continue to run on the
power supplied by the 12 Volt alternator and you may cause damage
to electrical components including the Toro Electronic Controllers
(TECs).
