Servicing the Battery

Properly maintain the battery electrolyte and keep the top of
the battery clean. Store the machine in a cool place to prevent
the battery from running down.
Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating hours or, if
machine is in storage, every 30 days.
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.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized water.
Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring inside
each cell.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning it.
Do not remove the fill caps while cleaning the battery.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
tractor 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.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables,
negative (-) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals
separately. Reconnect the cables, positive (+) cable first, and
coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
CALIFORNIA
