Battery Storage
1. When storing the tractor for extended periods, disconnect
the negative battery cable. It is not necessary to remove
the battery.

of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty battery will
discharge more rapidly.
3. The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged
battery can freeze sooner than a charged battery. A fully
charged battery will store longer in cold temperatures than
hot. Refer to chart below.
