Safe Operating Practices
Warning
The Workman is an off-highway vehicle only and
is not designed, equipped, or manufactured for use
on public streets, roads, or highways.
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
• Make sure that operators are thoroughly trained and
familiar with the Operator’s Manual and all labels on
the vehicle.
• Be sure to establish your own special procedures and
work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g. slopes
too steep for vehicle operation).
3
Page 4
Before Operating
• Operate the machine only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual.
• Never allow children to operate the vehicle. Anyone
who operates the vehicle should have a motor vehicle
license.
• Never allow other adults to operate the vehicle without
first reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate this
vehicle. Make sure that all operators are physically and
mentally capable of operating the vehicle.
• This vehicle is designed to carry only you, the operator,
and one passenger in the seat provided by the
manufacturer. Never carry any other passengers on the
vehicle.
• Never operate the vehicle when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. Even prescription drugs and cold
medicines can cause drowsiness.
• Do not drive the vehicle when you are tired. Be sure to
take occasional breaks. It is very important that you stay
alert at all times.
• Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine quickly.
• Keep all shields, safety devices, and decals in place. If a
shield, safety device, or decal is malfunctioning,
illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before
operating the machine.
• Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate the
machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes or
sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry
which could get caught in moving parts and cause
personal injury.
• Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants and a
helmet is advisable and required by some local safety
and insurance regulations.
• Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar
areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure to drive
cautiously, use the headlights, and even consider adding
additional lights.
• Be extremely careful when operating around people.
Always be aware of where bystanders might be.
• Before operating the vehicle, always check the
designated areas of the vehicle that are stated in the
pre-starting section of this manual. If something is
wrong, do not use the vehicle. Make sure that the
problem is corrected before the vehicle or attachment is
operated.
– Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when the
engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
– Fill the fuel tank outdoors, and fill it to about 1 in.
(25 mm) below the top of the tank (the bottom of
the filler neck). Do not overfill it.
– Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
While Operating
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
• The operator and passenger should remain seated
whenever the vehicle is in motion. The operator should
keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever
possible, and the passenger should use the hand holds
provided. Keep your arms and legs within the vehicle
body at all times.
• Drive slower and turn less sharply when you are
carrying a passenger. Remember your passenger may
not be expecting you to brake or turn and may not be
ready.
• Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as
tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head walkways. Make
sure there is enough room over head to easily clear the
vehicle and your head.
• Always shift into neutral and apply the parking brake
before leaving an idling vehicle, or else the vehicle may
creep.
• Failure to operate the vehicle safely may result in an
accident, tip over of the vehicle, and serious injury or
death. Drive carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of
control:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and maintain a
safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks,
ramps, unfamiliar areas, or any areas that have
abrupt changes in ground conditions or elevation.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use extra caution when operating the vehicle on wet
surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher
speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and
distance will increase with a full load.
• Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved gasoline container.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without
first coming to a complete stop.

Page 5
– Slow down before turning. Do not attempt sharp
turns or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving
actions that may cause a loss of vehicle control.
– When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind the
vehicle and do not dump the load on anyone’s feet.
Release the tailgate latches from the side of the box,
not from behind.
– Only operate the vehicle when the cargo box is
down and latched.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that
no one is behind you. Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when you are near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians
and other vehicles. This vehicle is not designed for
use on streets or highways. Always signal your turns
or stop early enough so that other people know what
you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and
regulations.
– The electrical and exhaust systems of the vehicle
can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive
materials. Never operate the vehicle in or near an
area where there is dust or fumes in the air which
are explosive.
– If you are ever unsure about safe operation, stop
work and ask your supervisor.
• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is
running or soon after it has stopped. These areas may be
hot enough to cause burns.
• If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the
vehicle for damage. Repair all damage before
commencing operation.
• Before getting off of the seat:
A. Stop the movement of the machine.
B. Set the parking brake.
• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has a major impact on
your ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads and
attachments make a vehicle harder to stop or turn. The
heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.
• Decrease the vehicle speed if the cargo box has been
removed and there is no attachment on the vehicle. The
braking characteristics change and fast stops may cause
the rear wheels to lock up, which may affect the control
of the vehicle.
• Turf and pavement are much slipperier when they are
wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet
surfaces as on dry surfaces. If you drive through
standing water deep enough to get the brakes wet, they
will not work well until they are dry. After driving
through water, you should test the brakes to make sure
they work properly. If they do not, drive slowly while
putting light pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry
the brakes out.
Operating on Hills
Warning
Operating the vehicle on a hill may cause tipping
or rolling of the vehicle, or the engine may stall
and you could lose headway on the hill. This could
result in personal injury.
• Do not exceed slopes greater than 125.
• Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes
when backing down a hill, especially with a load.
• If the engine stalls or you lose headway on a hill,
slowly back straight down the hill. Never
attempt to turn the vehicle around.
• Never drive across a steep hill; always drive
straight up or down or go around the hill.
• Avoid turning on a hill.
• Reduce your load and the speed of the vehicle.
• Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
C. Turn the ignition key to Off.
D. Remove the ignition key.
Note: If the vehicle is on an incline, block the wheels after
getting off of the vehicle.
Braking
• Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives
you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle
can damage the vehicle and its contents. More
important, it can injure you and your passenger.
These extra cautions need to be taken when operating the
vehicle on a hill:
• Slow down before starting up or down a hill.
• If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway while
climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly
back straight down the hill.
• Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it
slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.
• Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of the
load and your speed when operating on hills or if the
load has a high center of gravity. Secure the load to
prevent it from shifting.
5
Page 6
• Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
Stopping while going down a hill will take longer than
stopping on level ground. If the vehicle must be
stopped, avoid sudden speed changes, which may
initiate tipping or rolling of the vehicle. Do not slam on
the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the
vehicle to overturn.
• Travel straight up and down slopes whenever possible.
• We strongly recommend installing the optional ROPS
Kit when operating on hilly terrain.
Operating on Rough Terrain
Reduce speed and load when operating on rough terrain,
uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden
changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the vehicle to
become unstable.
We strongly recommend installing the optional ROPS Kit
when operating on rough terrain.
Warning
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in
hand and arm injuries.
• Reduce your speed when operating on rough
terrain and near curbs.
• Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the steering
wheel spokes.
• Position the weight of a load evenly from front to back.
If you position the load behind the rear axle, it will
reduce the weight on the front wheels. This may result
in a loss of steering control or cause the vehicle to tip
over on hills or bumpy terrain.
• Use extra caution if the load exceeds the dimensions of
the box and when handling off-center loads that cannot
be centered. Keep loads balanced and secure to prevent
them from shifting.
• Always secure loads so that they do not shift. If a load
is not secured, or you are transporting a liquid in a large
container such as a sprayer, the load can shift. This
shifting happens most often while turning, going up or
down hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving
over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the
vehicle to tip over.
Warning
The weight of the box may be heavy. Hands or
other body parts could be crushed.
• Keep hands and other body parts clear when
lowering the box.
• Do not dump materials on bystanders.
• Never dump a loaded cargo box while the vehicle is
sideways on a hill. The change in weight distribution
may cause the vehicle to overturn.
• When operating with a heavy load in the cargo box,
reduce your speed and allow for sufficient braking
distance. Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
Loading and Dumping
The weight and position of the cargo and passenger can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling.
To avoid loss of control and personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
• Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits
described on the vehicle weight label; refer to
Specifications, page 13, for vehicle weight limits. The
load rating is for level surfaces only.
• Reduce the weight of the load when operating on hills
and rough terrain to avoid tipping or overturning of the
vehicle.
• Reduce the weight of the load if the center of gravity is
high. Items such as bricks, fertilizer, or landscape
timbers stack higher in the box. The higher a load is
stacked, the more likely the vehicle is to tip over.
Distribute the load as low as possible, making sure that
the load does not affect rear visibility.
• Position the weight of the load evenly from side to side.
If you position the load toward one of the sides, the
vehicle is more likely to tip over while turning.
• Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
• The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers.
• Never overload your vehicle. The name plate (located
under dash on center column) shows load limits for the
vehicle. Never overload the attachments or exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW).

Maintenance
• Only qualified and authorized personnel shall be
permitted to maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the
vehicle.
• Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the
key from the ignition to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
• To make sure that the entire machine is in good
condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly
tightened.
• To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
• Never use an open flame to check the level or leakage
of fuel or battery electrolyte.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep your hands, feet, clothing, and any
parts of your body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
• Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning
fluids for cleaning parts.
• Do not adjust the ground speed governor. To ensure
safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check the ground speed.
• If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this
vehicle in any manner that may affect vehicle operation,
performance, durability, or its use, may result in injury
or death. Such use could void the product warranty.

Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and slowly fill
each cell until electrolyte is just above the plates.
3. Replace the filler caps and connect a 3 to 4 amp. battery
charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate
of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours (12 volts). Do not
overcharge the battery.
Warning
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.

4. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts.
5. Remove the filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each
cell until electrolyte is up to the fill line. Install the filler
caps.
Important Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the vehicle and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
6. Install the battery; refer to Installing the Battery,
page 38.

Checking the Crankcase Oil
Fuel Tank
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the level of oil must be checked before and after the engine
is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag
(Fig. 11). Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure
it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the oil
level.
2
1
Figure 11
1. Dipstick 2. Filler cap
3. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from the
valve cover (Fig. 11) and pour oil into the opening until
the oil level is up to the Full mark on the dipstick; refer
to Engine Oil, page 29, for the proper oil type and
viscosity. Add the oil slowly and check the level often
during this process. Do not overfill.
4. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
Check the brake fluid level before the engine is first started;
refer to Servicing the Brakes, page 32.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels.
The air pressure range in the front and rear tires is 8–22 psi
(55–152 kPa).
Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded
gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result.
Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in.
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried. Lower air pressure will provide less compaction, a
smoother ride, and fewer tire marks. Lower pressure should
not be used for heavy payloads at high speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
18
Page 19
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 7 gallons (26.5 l).
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 12).
1
Figure 12
1. Fuel tank cap
3. Remove the fuel tank cap.
4. Fill the tank to about one inch (25 mm) below the top of
the tank, (bottom of the filler neck). This space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand. Do not overfill.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.
Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Think Safety First
Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and
decals in the safety section. Knowing this information
could help you or bystanders avoid injury.
Controls
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal (Fig. 14) gives the operator the
ability to vary ground speed of the vehicle. Depressing the
pedal starts the engine. Depressing the pedal farther
increases ground speed. Releasing the pedal will slow the
vehicle and the engine will stop running. Maximum
forward speed is 18 MPH (29 km/h).
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is used to stop or slow the vehicle
(Fig. 14).
Caution
Brakes can become worn or can be misadjusted
resulting in personal injury.
Checking the Transmission Oil
The transaxle fluid level should be at the bottom of the
level indicator hole (Fig. 13). If it is not, fill the reservoir
with the appropriate fluid; refer to Changing the Transaxle
Fluid, page 36, steps 3 and 4.

engine, has two positions: Off and On. Rotate the key
clockwise to the On position to allow operation. When the
vehicle is stopped, rotate the key counterclockwise to the
Off position. Remove the key from the ignition.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 17) indicates the total number of
hours the engine is running. The hour meter starts to
function whenever the accelerator is depressed.
Oil Light
The oil light warns the operator if the engine oil pressure
drops below a safe level (Fig. 17). If the light comes on and
remains lit, the oil level should be checked and oil added if
necessary; see Engine Oil, page 29.
Note: The oil light may flicker. This is normal and no
action needs to be taken.
Note: If the gear shift selector is in Reverse when the
ignition is turned on, a buzzer will sound to warn the
operator.

• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
• Check the brake pedal operation.
• Check to see that the lights are working.
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure the engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before checking for
oil leaks, loose parts, and other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
vehicle out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.

Loading the Cargo Box
The capacity of the cargo box is 13 ft.3 (0.37 m3). The
amount (volume) of material that can be placed in the box
without exceeding the vehicle load ratings can vary greatly
depending on the density of the material. For example, a
level box of wet sand weighs 1500 lb. (680 kg), which
exceeds the load rating by 250 lb. (113 kg). But a level box
of wood weighs 650 lb. (295 kg), which is under the load
rating.
See the table below for load volume limits with various
materials:
2. To close the tailgate latches, lift the handles upward and
slide them toward the outside of the vehicle.
3. Push the latch handles downward to secure the latch and
tailgate.
New Vehicle Break-In
To provide proper performance and long vehicle life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
• Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly and be
alert for indications of overheating in any component of
the vehicle.
• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15
seconds before accelerating.
• Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours
of new vehicle break-in operation. New brake linings
may not be at optimum performance until several hours
of use has caused the brakes to become burnished
(broken-in).
• Vary the vehicle speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.

Transporting the Vehicle
Towing the Vehicle
For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should be
used. Make sure that the vehicle is secured to the trailer.
Refer to Figures 23 and 24 for the location of the tie down
points.
Caution
Loose seats may fall off of the vehicle and trailer
when transporting and land on another vehicle or
become an obstruction on the road.
Remove the seats or make sure that the seats are
securely fastened in the detents.
In case of an emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a
short distance. However, we do not recommend this as a
standard procedure.
Warning
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the vehicle faster than 5 MPH (8 km/h).
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. If the machine must
be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer; refer to Transporting the Vehicle, page 24.
1. Remove the drive belt; refer to Replacing the Drive
Belt, page 35, steps 1 and 2.
2. Affix a tow line to the tongue on the front frame
member (Fig. 24).
3. Put the vehicle in neutral and release the parking brake.

Towing a Trailer
The vehicle is capable of pulling trailers. Two types of tow
hitches are available for the vehicle, depending on your
application. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for
details.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload
your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause poor
performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine,
transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the
front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% of the
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the
vehicle.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 1250 lb.
(567 kg), including the GTW and tongue weight. For
example, if the GTW = 400 lb. (181 kg) and tongue
weight = 50 lb. (23 kg), then the maximum cargo load =
800 lb. (363 kg).
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the
cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW limits.
Avoid parking a vehicle with a trailer on a hill. If you must
park on a hill, engage the parking brake and block the
trailer tires.

Caution
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire(s) from the spark plug(s) before you
do any maintenance. Set the wire(s) aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark
plug(s).
Warning
The bed must be raised to perform some routine
maintenance. The bed could fall and injure
persons that are underneath it.
• Always use prop rod to hold bed up before
working under raised bed.
• Remove any load material from bed before
working under raised bed.
Heavy Duty Operation
Important If the vehicle is subjected to any of the
conditions listed below, maintenance should be performed
twice as frequently:
• Desert operation
• Cold climate operation (below 32 degrees F)
• Trailer towing
• Frequent operation on dusty roads
• Construction work
Jacking the Vehicle
Whenever the engine is run for routine maintenance and/or
engine diagnostics, the rear wheels of the vehicle should be
1 in. (25 mm) off of the ground with the rear axle supported
on jack stands.
Danger
A vehicle on a jack may be unstable and slip off of
the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the engine while the vehicle is on a
jack.
• Always remove the key from the ignition before
getting off of the vehicle.
• Block the tires when the vehicle is on a jack.
The jacking point at the front of the vehicle is on the front
of the frame behind the towing tongue (Fig. 25) The
jacking point at the rear of the vehicle is under the axle
tubes (Fig. 26).
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar
dirty conditions, have your brakes inspected and
cleaned as soon as possible. This will prevent any
abrasive material from causing excessive wear.
• Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings and inspect the air cleaner
daily to prevent excessive wear.

driver’s seat.
33
Page 34
Note: The driver should drive up to the measurement
area and stay seated in the vehicle while the
measurement is being taken.
If the vehicle will be run with medium to heavy loads most
of the time, set the toe-in on the high side of the
recommended amount. If it is going to be run with a light
load most of the time, set the toe-in on the low side of the
recommended amount.
1. Ensure that the front suspension is adjusted properly;
refer to Adjusting the Front Suspension, page 32.
Adjust if necessary.
2. Measure the distance between both of the front tires at
the axle height at both the front and rear of the front

Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.
3. Install the battery in the chassis; refer to Installing the
Battery, page 38.
Storing the Battery
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is just
before you operate the machine. This lets the water mix
thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and slowly fill
each cell with distilled water until the level is up to the
fill line. Replace the filler caps.
Important Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the vehicle and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days, remove
the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on the shelf or
on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored
on the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to
avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To
prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully
charged.
Washing the Vehicle
The vehicle should be washed as needed. Use water alone
or with a mild detergent. A rag may be used, however the
hood will loose some of its luster.
Important Pressurized water is not recommended when
washing the machine. It may damage the electrical system,
loosen important decals, or wash away necessary grease at
friction points. Avoid excessive use of water, especially
near the control panel, engine, and battery.
