Remote Starter Switch
After flushing the hydraulic system or
replacing a hydraulic component (e.g.
gear pump, piston pump, drive motor), it is
necessary to prime the hydraulic pumps.
A remote starter switch can be used for
this purpose. A remote starter switch
can be purchased locally or fabricated as
follows.
IMPORTANT: When using a
remote starter switch, it is highly
recommended to include a 20 amp
in−line fuse between the battery and
switch connector for circuit protection.
A remote stater switch can also be
constructed using Toro switch #106−2027,
a length of 14 gauge wire, a 20 amp
in−line fuse, two (2) alligator clips and
necessary connectors. Connecting the
wire to switch terminals 1 and 2 will allow
the momentary switch contacts to be used
for the remote starter switch.
Note: For information on using the remote
starter switch to prime the hydraulic
pumps.
Multimeter
Obtain this tool locally
The meter can test the electrical
components and circuits for current,
resistance, or voltage.
Note: Use a digital multimeter when
testing the electrical circuits. The high
impedance (internal resistance) of a digital
meter in the voltage mode ensures that
the excess current is not allowed through
the meter. This excess current can
damage the circuits that are not designed
to carry it.
Battery Terminal Protector
Toro Part No. 107-0392
Use this aerosol spray on the battery
terminals, ring terminals, and fork terminals
to reduce corrosion problems. Apply the
terminal protector to the connection after
you secure the battery cable, ring terminal,
or fork terminal.
