Service and Repairs<br />
NOTE: For engine component repair information, see<br />
the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine,<br />
V2403--M--T--E3B Series at the end of Chapter 3 -- Kubota<br />
Diesel Engine.<br />
Battery Storage<br />
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days:<br />
1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery<br />
Service in this section).<br />
2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine.<br />
4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration<br />
of the battery charge.<br />
5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure<br />
it is fully charged (see Battery Service in this section).<br />
3. Leave cables disconnected if the battery is stored on<br />
the machine.<br />
Battery Care<br />
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained.<br />
The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the<br />
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are<br />
extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly<br />
than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures<br />
are cool.<br />
WARNING<br />
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when<br />
working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a<br />
well ventilated place so gasses produced<br />
while charging can dissipate. Since the gases<br />
are explosive, keep open flames and electrical<br />
sparks away from the battery; do not smoke.<br />
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug<br />
charger from electrical outlet before connecting<br />
or disconnecting charger leads to or<br />
from battery posts.<br />
IMPORTANT: Do not remove fill caps while cleaning.<br />
2. Check battery condition weekly or after every 50<br />
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery<br />
case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly.<br />
A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solution<br />
of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water.<br />
B. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with terminal<br />
protector (<strong>Toro</strong> Part No. 107--0392) or petroleum<br />
jelly to prevent corrosion.<br />
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide<br />
good electrical contact.<br />
WARNING<br />
Connecting cables to the wrong post could result<br />
in personal injury and/or damage to the electrical<br />
system.<br />
4. If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect cables.<br />
Always disconnect negative (--) cable first. Clean<br />
clamps and terminals separately. Connect cables with<br />
positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts and cable connectors<br />
with terminal protector (<strong>Toro</strong> Part No.<br />
107--0392) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.<br />
5. Check electrolyte level every 25 operating hours and<br />
every 30 days if machine is in storage.<br />
6. Maintain cell level with distilled water. Do not fill cells<br />
above the fill line.<br />
