Electrical System Safety

Disconnect the battery before repairing the
machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal
first and the negative last.
Charge the battery in an open, well-ventilated
area, away from sparks and flames. Unplug the
charger before connecting or disconnecting the
battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated
tools.

Servicing the Battery

Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Keep the top of the battery clean. If you store
the machine in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly
than if the machine is stored in a location where the
temperature is cool.
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.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (-) cable first, and scrape the clamps
and terminals separately. Connect the cables, positive
(+) cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine 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 machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
