Servicing the Batteries
Note:
The machine is equipped with 8 lithium-ion
batteries.
A lithium-ion battery must be disposed of or recycled

a battery requires service, contact your Authorized
Service Dealer for assistance.
Do not open the battery. If you are having problems
with a battery, contact your Authorized Service Dealer

Maintaining the Lithium-Ion
Batteries
WARNING
The batteries contain high voltage, which
could burn or shock you.
•
Do not attempt to open the batteries.
•
Use extreme care when handling a battery
with a cracked case.
•
Use only the charger designed for the
batteries.
The lithium-ion batteries hold a sufficient charge to
perform intended work during its life span.
To achieve maximum life and use from your batteries,
follow these guidelines:
•
Do not open the battery.
•
Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage or
storage area,
away from direct sunlight, heat
sources, rain, and wet conditions.
Do not store
it in a location where the temperature exceeds the
range specified in
(page 49)
.
Temperatures outside of this range
will damage your batteries.
High temperatures
during storage, especially at a high state of charge,
reduces the life of the batteries.
•
When storing the machine for more than 10 days,
ensure that the machine is in a cool and dry
location, out of sunlight, rain, and wet conditions.
•
If you are mowing in hot conditions or in strong,
direct sunlight, the battery may overheat. If this
happens, a high-temperature alert will appear on
the InfoCenter, the cutting units will disengage,
and the machine will slow down.
Immediately drive the machine to a cool location
out of the sun, turn off the machine, and allow the
batteries to cool fully before resuming operation.
•
Maintain the sharpness of the mower blades.
A dull blade increases power consumption and
reduces the amount of work that the machine
performs on each charge.
•
Use lights only when it is necessary.
Maintaining the Battery
Charger
Important:
All electrical repairs should be
performed by an Authorized Toro Dealer only.
The charger requires little maintenance other than
protecting it from damage and weather.
•
Clean the battery-charger cords and case with a
slightly damp cloth after each use.
Note:
Do not clean the dielectric grease from the
terminals.
•
Coil the cords when not in use.
•
Periodically examine the cords for damage, and
replace them when necessary with Toro-approved
parts.
