Removing the Battery

Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal machine components causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

•When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the machine.

•Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the machine.

1.Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch.

2.Move the motion control levers outward to the park position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

3.Remove the left side console to access the battery. Refer the Accessing the Battery procedure in the Premaintenance Procedures for instructions.

4.Disconnect the negative (black) ground cable from the battery post (Figure 41). Retain all fasteners.

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.
