ýWARNING

•Do not jump start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.

The battery in the Husqvarna gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent watering (Figure 25).

Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this solution to enter battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m)). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03). See preceding WARNING and following CAUTION.

ýCAUT ION

•If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation.
