WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine 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.
1. Lower the grinder.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Lift the black rubber cover on the negative cable.
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the negative
(-) battery terminal (Figure 39).

4. Slide the red terminal boot off the positive (red) battery
terminal, then remove the positive (red) battery cable
(Figure 39).
5. Remove the hold down plate, J-bolts, and locknuts
securing the battery (Figure 39) and remove the battery.

Installing the Battery
1. Place the battery onto the machine (Figure 39).
2. Secure the battery with the hold down plate, j-bolts,
and locknuts.
3. First, install the positive (red) battery cable to positive
(+) battery terminal with a nut, washer and bolt (Figure
39). Slide the rubber cover over the post.
4. Then install the negative battery cable and ground wire
to the negative (-) battery terminal with a nut, washer
and bolt (Figure 39). Slide the rubber cover over the
post.
Checking the Battery Electrolyte Level
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.
1. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte must
be up to the upper line (Figure 40). Do not allow the
electrolyte to fall below the Lower line (Figure 40).
1. Vent caps
2. Upper line
2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of
distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery
(page 28).
Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is just
before you operate the machine. This lets the water mix
thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Remove the battery from the machine; refer to
Removing the Battery (page 27).
Important: Never fill the battery with distilled
water while the battery is installed in the machine.
