Maintenance

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 lethal if consumed 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. Connect the cables, positive
(+) cable first and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
