Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.
Warning
5. Connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery
posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amps until
the specific gravity is 1.250 or higher and the
temperature is at least 60_F (16_C) with all sells gasing
freely.
6. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts.
Note: After the battery has been activated, add only
distilled water to replace normal loss, although
maintenance–free batteries should not require water under
normal operating conditions.
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Warning

against metal tractor components causing sparks.
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the tractor.
Warning
Installing the Battery in the
Chassis
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine components causing sparks.
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
Warning
1. Install battery and secure with hold down strap and
wing nuts (Fig. 5). Remove tape over ends of each
cable.
2. Slide the red, positive battery cable (Fig. 5) onto
positive battery post and tighten nut securely.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses 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.
Warning
3. Slide the black, negative battery cable (Fig. 5) onto
negative battery post and tighten nut securely.
4. Coat both battery connections with either Grafo 112X
(skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, petroleum
jelly or light grease to prevent corrosion and slide
rubber boot over positive terminal (Fig. 5).
5. Install the instrument cover and lock the two latches.
