Caring for the Batteries (Model 04580)
WARNING
The battery gases are explosive; also, they can cause nausea.
• Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with
electrolyte. Charge the battery in a well ventilated place so that
the gasses produced while charging can dissipate.
• Keep open flames and electrical sparks away from the battery;
do not smoke.
• Disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet before
connecting or disconnecting charger leads to or from the
battery posts.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove fill caps while cleaning.
1. Clean the top of the battery by washing at the terminals with a brush dipped
in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface with
water after cleaning.
2. If corrosion occurs at the battery terminals, disconnect the battery cables.
Always disconnect the negative (-) cable first. Clean the cable clamps and
terminals separately.
3. Tighten the battery cables on the battery terminals to provide a good electrical
contact. Apply a coating of Toro Part No. 107-0392 battery terminal protector
or a light coat of grease to the terminals to reduce corrosion after you make
the connections; refer to
Special Tools (page 2–13)
.
WARNING
Connecting the cables to the wrong battery post could result in
personal injury and/or damage to the electrical system.
Ensure that the cables are properly connected to the correct battery
posts before operating the machine.
