Battery terminals or metal tools could short
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.
Failure to correctly activate the battery may
result in battery gassing and/or premature
battery failure.
