GENERAL BATTERY INFORMATION

WARNING

a. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash Hands after handling.

b.Battery acid must be handled with great care, as contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is advisable to wear protective clothing (goggles, rubber gloves and apron) when working with acid.

c.Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. If there is any further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.

d.If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/water or baking soda/water.

e.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.

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

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

h.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.

DANGER

BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID AND MAY EMIT EXPLOSIVE GASES. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES.

KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY

The tractor is shipped with a wet battery — the battery acid has already been added and the battery sealed. Although the battery is maintenance free, the following care should be taken when handling the battery and to assure its proper life cycle.

1.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.

2.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.

3.Avoid tipping the battery. Even a “sealed” battery will leak electrolyte when tipped.

STORAGE OF THE BATTERY

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

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

3.The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged battery will freeze at a higher temperature.
