ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
BATTERY CARE
(Fig. 38)
Check battery condition weekly or after every 50 hours
of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery case
clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly. To
clean the battery, wash the entire case with solution of
baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water. Coat the
battery posts and cable connectors with Grafo 112X
(skin-over) grease (Toro Part No. 50547) or
petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
IMPORTANT: Before welding on the machine,
disconnect both cables from the battery and the
terminal connector from the alternator to prevent
damage to the electrical system.
1. Remove strap, cover and foam block to access
