Servicing The Fuses; Drive System Maintenance; Adjusting The Traction Drive For Neutral - Toro Groundsmaster 3500-D Operator's Manual

Maintain the battery-electrolyte level properly and
keep the top of the battery. If you store the machine in
a hot location, the battery will discharge more rapidly
than if you store the machine in a cool location.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split
ring inside each cell. Install the filler caps with the
vents pointing to the rear (toward the fuel tank).
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, a
deadly poison that 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.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or a
solution of bicarbonate of soda. Flush the top surface
with water after cleaning. Do not remove the filler
caps while cleaning the battery.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
WARNING
Incorrectly routing the battery cable could
damage the tractor and cables, causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gases
to explode, resulting in personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black)
battery cable before disconnecting the
positive (red) cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative
(black) cable.
If the terminals have corrosion, disconnect the cables
(the negative (–) cable first) and scrape the clamps
and terminals separately. Connect the cables (positive
(+) cable first) and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
