Caring For The Lithium--Ion Batteries - Toro Workman GTX Electric & Lithium Service Manual

4. Install the battery assembly onto the machine frame
using the figure 53. Torque tighten the battery pack
flange nuts (3 and 13) from 27 to 33 ft--lb (36.5 to 44.5
N--m).
5. Using the labels that attached during the removal,
connect the battery interface cable, positive (+) battery
cable and negative (--) battery cable onto the battery
pack.
6. Tighten the battery cable fasteners from 72 to 88 in--
lb (8 to 10 N--m), then apply battery terminal protector
Toro Part No. 107--0392 or a light layer of grease to the
battery terminals and cable connectors to reduce corro-
sion.
7. Secure rear frame panel cover to vehicle. Lower and
secure cargo box. Install seat base assembly.
8. Before returning vehicle to operation, fully charge
the batteries by connecting the on--board battery char-
ger to an appropriate electrical outlet.
Caring for the Lithium- -Ion Batteries
WARNING
Battery terminals, battery cables, or metal tools
could short against metal components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery damage
and high heat, resulting in personal injury.
- - When removing or installing the batteries, do
not allow the battery terminals or battery cables
to touch any metal parts of the machine.
- - Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals or battery cables and metal
parts of the machine.
- - Do not attach anything to the battery terminal
other than the battery cable or wire harness con-
nector that came with the product.
- - Always keep the battery retainers and covers in
place to protect and secure the batteries.

IMPORTANT: A used or damaged lithium- -ion bat-
tery must be disposed of or recycled in accordance
with local and federal regulations. For information
on how to properly dispose of lithium- -ion batteries,
contact your local municipality or recycling facility.
1. Use the display on the dash to monitor the state of
charge of the lithium--ion battery pack. Consistently op-
erating the machine with a very low state of charge will
adversely affect the life of the batteries.
2. If problems with the batteries exist, an advisory or
fault may be identified on the display; refer to
Troubleshooting in this chapter.
3. When done using the machine for the day, park the
machine in a clean and dry area that is away from direct
sunlight and other heat sources. Do not store the ma-
chine in a location where the battery temperature could
rise above 45 ºC (113 ºF). If the battery is regularly sub-
jected to excessive temperatures, the life of the batter-
ies will be reduced.
4. Charge the batteries when you are finished for the
day to ensure that the batteries are fully charged for the
next use. Lithium--ion batteries do not have a charge
memory issue and do not need to be fully discharged be-
fore charging them. For best battery life, connect the
machine to the battery charger any time the machine is
not in use.
