•Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into any sink or drain. Before discarding an empty electrolyte container, rinse it thoroughly with a neutralizing solution.

•NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks.

•Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. The hydrogen gas generated during charging can be combustible.

•As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well ventilated area.

•Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries.

WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit ex-plosive gases.

Use extreme caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

BATTERY REMOVAL

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

The battery is located at the front of the tractor beneath the hood, just forward of the radiator.

To remove the battery:

•Open the tractor hood as described in the previous sub-section.

•Remove the two wing nuts and the battery holddown strap from the battery holddown rods. See Figure 33.

•Loosen the negative battery cable clamp and disconnect the negative lead from the battery; then disconnect the positive lead from the battery.

•Carefully lift the battery out of the tractor.

Install the battery by repeating the above steps in the reverse order.

WARNING: Always connect the posi- tive lead to the battery before con- necting the negative lead. Also make certain the cable clamps are posi- tioned so that they DO NOT contact the holddown strap.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The battery is filled with battery acid and then sealed at the factory. However, even a “maintenance free” battery requires some maintenance to ensure its proper life cycle.

•Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a battery terminal sealer, or coat the terminals with a thin coat of grease or petroleum jelly, to protect against corrosion.

•The battery should be kept clean. Any deposits of acid should be neutralized with baking soda and water. Be careful not to get this solution in the cells.

•Avoid tipping. Even a sealed battery will leak electrolyte when tipped.

BATTERY STORAGE

•When storing the tractor for extended periods, disconnect the battery cables. Removing the battery from the unit is recommended.

•All batteries discharge during storage. Keep the exterior of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty battery will discharge more rapidly.

•The battery must be stored with a full charge. As the battery discharges, the electrolyte is weakened and will freeze at a higher temperature.

•Recharge the battery before returning to service; or every two months, whichever comes first.
