General Maintenance - Toro 07280 Operator's Manual

• When not filling the batteries, keep the battery
vent caps tight on the batteries. Never operate
the vehicle if any of the vent caps are missing
or damaged.
• When removing or installing the batteries, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the vehicle.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
vehicle. Remove all jewelry and watches before
servicing the batteries.
• Do not check a battery charge by placing a
metal object across the posts. This will cause
sparks which can cause an explosion.
• Always keep the battery retainers in place to
protect and secure the batteries.
• Read and understand the charging instructions
before charging the batteries; refer to Charging
the Batteries in Maintenance, page 22. Also,
take the following precautions and actions
when charging the batteries:
– Turn the vehicle On/Off switch to Off
before connecting the charger to a power
source.
– Use only the battery charger supplied with
the vehicle to charge the batteries.
– Do not charge a damaged or frozen battery.
– Always unplug the AC power cord from the
power outlet before unplugging it from the
vehicle charging receptacle to avoid sparks.
– If during charging a battery gets hot, begins
emitting large amounts of gasses, or spews
electrolyte, immediately disconnect the
charger power cord from the power outlet.
Have the vehicle serviced by an Authorized
Service Dealer before using it again.
