Storage Safety
•
Shut off the machine, remove the key, and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
Storing the Machine
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, shut off the machine, and remove
the key.
2.
Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine,
including the outside of the motor housing.
Important:
You can wash the machine
with mild detergent and water. Do not use
high-pressure water to wash the machine.
Pressure-washing may damage the electrical
system or wash away necessary grease at
friction points. Avoid excessive use of water,
especially near the control panel, lights,
motor, and battery.
3.
Inspect the brakes; refer to
Brakes (page
46).
4.
Check the tire pressure; refer to
Tire Pressure (page
5.
Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws.
Repair or replace any part that is damaged.
6.

Note:
Paint is available from your authorized
Toro distributor.

Battery Storage
Requirements
Note:
You do not need to remove the batteries from
the machine for storage.
Refer to the temperature limits for storage in the
following table:
Temperature Limits for Storage
Storage Temperature
45° to 55°C (113° to 131°F)
25° to 45°C (77° to 113°F)
-20° to 25°C (-4° to 77°F)
Important:
Temperatures outside of these ranges
will damage your batteries.
The temperature that the batteries are stored
at will affect their long-term life. Storage for
long periods of time at extreme temperatures
will reduce the battery life. For temperatures
above 25°C (77°F), only store the machine for the
appropriate amount of time indicated in the table.
•
Before you store the machine, charge or discharge
the batteries between 40% to 60%.
Note:
A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a
maximum battery life. When the batteries are
charged to 100% before storage, the battery life
shortens.
If you anticipate that the machine will be stored
for a longer period of time, charge the batteries
to around 60%.
•
For every 6 months of storage, check the
battery-charge level and ensure that it is between
40% to 60%. If the charge is below 40%, charge
the batteries between 40% to 60%.
•
After charging the batteries, disconnect the battery
charger from power.
