Add gear oil, if necessary, to bring up to proper
level and install plug.
4.
Repeat steps 1-3 on the opposite gear assembly.
To Drain Gear Oil:
1.
With machine on level surface, position wheel so
the check/drain plug is at lowest position.
2.
Place drain pan under hub, remove plug and allow
oil to drain.
3.
When oil has drained, position wheel so plug hole
is at three or nine o'clock position (Fig. 51).
4.
Add approximately 32 oz (1.24 l) high quality SAE
80-90 wt. gear lube to bring level up to bottom of hole

Repeat steps 1-4 on the opposite gear assembly.
BATTERY SERVICE
IMPORTANT: Before welding on the machine or
performing service to the electrical system,
disconnect negative (-) battery cable from the
batteries to prevent damage to the electrical
system.
Check battery cables and connections every 100
hours and check batteries with a hydrometer every 500
hours operation. Keep terminals and entire battery
case clean. Clean batteries with a solution of baking
soda and water, then rinse with clear water. To prevent
corrosion, coat battery posts and cable connectors
with Grafo 112X (Skin-over) grease, TORO Part No.
505-47.
CAUTION
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with the batteries. Charge
batteries in a well-ventilated place so
gases produced while charging can dissi
pate. Since the gases are explosive, keep
electrical spark and open flame away from
the batteries. Do not smoke. Nausea may
result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug
charger from electrical outlet before con
necting to or disconnecting charger leads
from battery posts.
1.
Unlatch, raise and prop hood open. Unlatch and
remove left engine side panel.
2.
Remove capscrews securing battery tray to
machine and slide tray out (Fig. 52).
3.
Check both batteries for charge with a hydrometer.
If batteries check acceptably, slide tray back in place,
secure with capscrews and install side panel. If
batteries require charging, proceed to step 4.
4.
Remove negative (-) battery cable connectors
from batteries (Fig. 52). Connect a 3 to 4 Amp battery
charger to the posts. Charge the batteries at a rate of 3
to 4 Amperes for 4 to 8 hours.

5.
When batteries are fully charged, disconnect
charger from electrical outlet and battery posts.
6.
Connect negative (-) cable ends, slide tray back
