WARNING

Incorrect battery cable routing 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.

Positive (+) battery cable

2.

Negative (–) battery cable

Important:

If you ever remove the battery,

install that the battery-clamp bolts with the
bolt heads positioned on the bottom side
and the nuts on the top side. If the clamp
bolts are reversed, they may interfere with
the hydraulic tubes when shifting the cutting
units.

9.

Coat both battery connections with Grafo 112X
(skin over) grease (Toro Part No. 505-47),
petroleum jelly, or light grease to prevent
corrosion.

10.

Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal
to prevent a possible short from occurring.

11.

Install the battery cover.

Checking the Angle
Indicator

Models 30807, 30839, and 30843
Only

Parts needed for this procedure:

1

Inclinometer

Procedure

1.

Park the machine on a flat, level surface.

2.

Verify that the machine is level by placing
a handheld inclinometer (supplied with the
machine) on the frame cross rail, by the fuel
tank (

).

Note:

The inclinometer should read at 0° when

viewed from the operating position.

Figure 5

1.

Angle indicator

3.

If the inclinometer does not read 0°, move the
machine to a different location to obtain a 0°
reading.

Note:

The angle indicator, mounted on the

machine, should now read 0° also.

4.

If the angle indicator does not read 0°, loosen the
2 screws and nuts securing the angle indicator
to the mounting bracket, adjust the indicator to
obtain a 0° reading, and tighten the bolts.
