Storage Safety

•
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, shut off the machine, remove the
key (if equipped), 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 where there is an open
flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water
heater or other appliance.

Storing the Machine

1. Clean the machine; refer to
Machine (page 38).
Important:
You can wash the machine
with mild detergent and fresh clean water.
Do not pressure-wash the machine. Avoid
excessive use of water, especially near the
shift-lever plate, the InfoCenter, the power
center, and the machine power connector.
2. Check and tighten all fasteners. Repair or
replace any part that is worn or damaged.
3. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces
with paint available from your authorized Toro
distributor.
4. For prolonged storage, follow the battery
storage requirements; refer to
Requirements (page
5. Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean.
Battery Storage
Requirements
Note:
You do not need to remove the battery from
the machine for storage.
Refer to the temperature requirements for storage in
the following table:
Temperature Requirements for Storage
Storage Conditions
Normal storage conditions
Extreme heat—1 month or
less
Extreme cold—3 months or
less
Important:
Temperatures outside of this range
can damage your battery.

Temperature Requirement
-20° to 45°C (-12° to 113°F)
45° to 60°C (113° to 140°F)
-30° to -20°C (-22° to -12°F)
The temperature that the battery is stored at will
affect the battery life. Storage for long periods
of time at extreme temperatures will reduce the
battery life. Store the machine in a cool (not below
freezing) location.
•
Before you store the machine, charge or discharge
the battery between 40% to 60%.
Note:
A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a
maximum battery life. When the battery is 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 battery 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 battery between 40% to 60%.
•
After charging the battery, disconnect the
battery charger from power. Disconnect the
power connector during storage to minimize the
discharging of the battery.
•
If you leave the charger on the machine, it will shut
off after the battery is fully charged and does not
turn back on unless the charger is disconnected
and reconnected.

Storing the Charger

1. Complete the procedure for
Charger (page
2. Disconnect the power supply cord from the
charger and coil it securely.
3. Examine the power supply cord thoroughly for
signs of wear or damage. Replace it if it is worn
or damaged.
4. Examine the charger thoroughly for worn, loose,
or damaged parts. To repair or replace parts,
contact your authorized Toro distributor for
assistance.
5. Store the charger with the power supply cord in
a clean, dry place where it will not be bumped or
damaged and not exposed to caustic fumes.
