Jump Starting Vehicle; Battery Care - Toro 07360 Operator's Manual

Jump Starting Vehicle

Jump starting can be dangerous. To avoid
personal injury or damage to electrical
components in vehicle, observe the following
warnings:
• Never jump start with a voltage sources
greater than 15 volts D.C. This will damage
the electrical system.
• Never attempt to jump start a discharged
battery that is frozen. It could rupture or
explode during jump starting.
• Observe all battery warnings while jump
starting your vehicle.
• Be sure your vehicle is not touching the
jump start vehicle.
• Connecting cables to the wrong post could
result in personal injury and/or damage to
the electrical system.
1. Loosen knobs securing battery cover to battery base
and slide cover off.
2. Connect a jumper cable between the positive posts
of the two batteries. The positive post may be
identified by a "+" sign on top of battery cover.
3. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the battery in the other vehicle.
The negative terminal has "NEG" on the battery
cover. Do not connect the other end of the jumper
cable to the negative post of the discharged battery.
Connect it to the engine. Do not connect the jumper
cable to the fuel system.
4. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the jump
start. Let it run a few minutes, then start your engine.
5. Remove the negative jumper cable first from your
engine, then the battery in the other vehicle.
6. Reinstall battery cover to battery base and tighten
knobs.

Battery Care

Service Interval: Every 50 hours (Every 30 days if in
storage)
Every 50 hours
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained
and the top of the battery kept clean. lf the machine
is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location
where temperatures are cool.
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which
is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety
glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves
to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
2. Keep top of battery clean by washing periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of
soda solution. Flush the top surface with water after
cleaning. Do not remove the fill cap while cleaning.
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
4. If corrosion occurs at terminals,remove battery
cover, disconnect cables, negative (–) cable first and
scrape clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
cables, positive (+) cable first and coat terminals
with petroleum jelly.
5. Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating hours
or, if machine is in storage, every 30 days.
6. Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill cells above the bottom of the fill
ring inside each cell.
