ADJUSTING THE CUTTING UNIT
BELTS (Fig. 42)
Make sure cutting unit belts are properly tensioned to
assure correct operation and prevent unnecessary wear.
Check all belts often.
1.
The cutting unit drive belts should have a maximum
deflection of 12 mm with a 3.7 kg load applied.
2.
Loosen the jam nut on the front end of the belt
tension rod. Turn the rod to lengthen or shorten the
rod to the desired length. Then tighten the jam nut.

BATTERY CARE
1.
Battery electrolyte level must be maintained and the
top of the battery kept clean. If the Grounds Pro
2000 is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if is stored in a cooler location.
2.
Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours
or, if the machine is in storage, every 30 days.
3.
Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill cells above the bottom of the split
ring inside each cell.
4.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
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
caps while cleaning.
5.
Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
6.
If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect the
cables—negative (–) cable first—and scrape the
clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the
cables—positive cable first—and coat the terminals
with petroleum jelly.
WIRE HARNESS SERVICE
Prevent corrosion of wiring terminals by applying Grafo
11 2X (Skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, to the
inside of all harness connectors whenever the harness is
replaced.
Whenever working with the electrical system, always
disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first to
prevent possible wiring damage from electrical shorts.
Before welding on the machine, disconnect ground cable
from the battery to prevent damage to the electrical
system.
Maintenance

Since the gasses from the battery and the gasoline
fumes are explosive, keep open flames and
electrical sparks away from the area; do not
smoke.
