Service and Repairs

NOTE: See the Perkins 100 Series Workshop Manual for more component repair information.

Battery Service

The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With regular and proper service, battery life can be extend. Additionally, battery and electrical component failure can be prevented.

CAUTION

When working with batteries, use ex- treme caution to avoid slashing or spil- ling electrolyte. Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or eyes. Always wear safety goggles and a face shield when working with batteries.

Electrolyte Specific Gravity

Fully charged: 1.265 corrected to 80F (26.7C)

Discharged: less than 1.240

Removal

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage terminal posts or cable connectors when removing the bat- tery cables.

1.Remove the battery hold±down clamp. Slide battery forward.

2.Disconnect the ground cable (±) first to prevent short circuiting the battery, other components, or the op- erators hands. Disconnect the positive (+) cable.

3.Make sure that the filler caps are on tightly.

4.Remove battery from the battery compartment to a service area. This will minimize possible battery dam- age and allow better access for inspection and service.

Inspection, Maintenance , and Testing

1.Perform the following inspection and maintenance tasks:

A.Check for cracks caused by overly tight or loose hold±down clamp. Replace battery if cracked and leaking.

B.Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use a terminal brush or steel wool to clean corrosion from the battery terminal posts.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or block the vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the caps are on tightly.

C.Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top of the battery which might indicate a loose or mis- sing filler cap, overcharging, loose terminal post, or overfilling. Also, check the battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse it with clean water.

D.Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.

E.Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the lev- el is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells with distilled water to the bottom of the cap tubes. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to al- low sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.

2.Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is clean before opening the battery caps.

A.Measure the specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer. Draw electrolyte in and out of the hydrometer barrel prior to taking a reading to warm± up the hydrometer. At the same time take the tem- perature of the cell.

2600D, 2300-D specifications

The Toro 2300-D and 2600-D are industry-leading reel mowers specifically designed for the professional turf care market. Known for their durability, efficiency, and advanced technology, these models provide exceptional cutting performance for golf courses, sports fields, and other high-quality turf applications.

One of the standout features of the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D is their powerful engines. Powered by efficient diesel engines, these mowers deliver robust performance while being fuel-efficient. This capability ensures extended operation periods, allowing grounds crews to maintain pristine conditions across large areas without frequent refuelling stops.

Both models are equipped with Toro’s exclusive DPA (Dual Precision Adjust) cutting system, providing precise cutting heights for optimal turf health. This system allows for adjustments from 1/8 inch to 1 inch, enabling operators to achieve the correct level for various grass types and turf conditions. This level of precision ensures a clean cut and promotes the overall health of the grass.

Another notable characteristic is the ergonomic design, which includes a comfortable operator station to reduce fatigue during extended use. The controls are intuitively located, enabling easy access and operation, and the mower's compact design allows for nimble maneuverability around obstacles, ensuring that every inch of turf can be accurately maintained.

In terms of technology, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D feature advanced traction control systems that provide excellent grip and stability on slopes and uneven terrain. The lightweight alloy construction of the frame contributes to this stability, giving operators confidence whether they are working on flat surfaces or more challenging landscapes.

Furthermore, these mowers are designed with sustainability in mind. The diesel engines not only offer efficiency but also are compliant with strict emissions standards, making them an environmentally responsible choice for turf maintenance.

The Toro 2300-D and 2600-D also feature a robust maintenance management system that alerts operators of necessary maintenance tasks, promoting longer lifespans for components and enhancing overall performance.

In summary, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D deliver cutting-edge technologies and features, including powerful engines, versatile cutting systems, ergonomic design, advanced traction control, and sustainability focus. These models represent the pinnacle of reel mower engineering, making them ideal choices for professionals dedicated to maintaining the finest playing surfaces.
