Servicing The Fuses; Drive System Maintenance; Checking The Tire Pressure; Checking The Torque Of The Wheel-Lug Nuts - Toro Groundsmaster 3500-D Operator's Manual

WARNING
Incorrectly routing the battery cable could
damage the tractor and cables, causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gases
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.
If the terminals have corrosion, disconnect the cables
(the negative (–) cable first) and scrape the clamps
and terminals separately. Connect the cables (positive
(+) cable first) and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.

Servicing the Fuses

The fuses in machines electrical system are located
under console cover.
If the machine stops or has other electrical system
issues, check the fuses. Grasp each fuse in turn and
remove them 1 at a time, checking if any are blown.
Important:
If you need to replace a fuse, always
use the same type and amperage-rated fuse as
the one you are replacing; otherwise, you could
damage the electrical system. Refer to the decal
next to the fuses for a diagram of each fuse and
its amperage.
Note:
If a fuse blows frequently, you probably have
a short in the electrical system and should have it
serviced by a qualified service technician.
Drive System
Maintenance

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not underinflate the tires.
The correct air pressure in the tires is 97 to 124 kPa
(14 to 18 psi) as shown in
Important:
Maintain pressure in all tires to
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before
operating the machine.
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel-Lug Nuts
Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel-lug nuts to 61 to 88 N∙m (45 to 65
ft-lb).
WARNING
Failing to maintain proper torque of the
wheel-lug nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel-lug nuts to the proper
torque value.
