Checking the Oil Level
The tractor is shipped from the factory with oil in the
engine crankcase; however, it may be necessary to add oil.
Refer to the Operator's Manual, Engine Oil Specifications
for oil type, viscosity, and crankcase capacity. Add only
enough oil to raise the level to the "FULL" mark on the
dipstick.

Activating the Battery

1. Remove the battery from the tractor; refer to the
Operator's Manual, Removing the Battery.
2. Remove the filler caps from the top of the battery.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is
a deadly poison if consumed, and it 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.
Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
3. Slowly pour electrolyte into each cell until the level is
up to the lower part of the tube.
4. Leave the filler caps off and connect a 3 to 4 amp
battery charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery
at a rate of 2 amperes or less for 4 hours (12 volts). Do
not overcharge the battery. Install the filler caps after
the battery is fully charged.
Warning
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks
and flames away from the battery.
