Battery Fig.8-1
With a maintenance free battery, it is normally not neces-
sary to frequently check the electrolyte and charge levels.
It is advisable, however, to periodically check the level of
battery acid and to add distilled water if required.
If you need to top up too often, have the battery charging
system checked.
Check the level of the electrolyte in each element. If top-
ping up is required, proceed as follows, with the engine
stopped, the battery at rest and cold, and the tractor
parked on level ground.
1 - Turn the battery disconnector switch anti-clockwise,
to the "disconnected battery" position.
2 - Remove the clip (1) and the guard (2).
3 - Remove the plugs and check the liquid level.
4 - Slowly pour in the distilled water, until the top edge
of the plates is completely covered.
5 - Fit the plugs back and close the battery compartment.
WARNING: Do not use acid to top up the bat-
tery. The electrolyte will boil over. Use only
deionised distilled water and top up to a level
of 5/6 mm over the battery cells.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling.
Check the charge condition with a voltmeter. Do not use
quick battery chargers to recharge the batteries.
NOTE: if the battery must be topped up frequently or tends
to discharge, have the electrical system of your tractor
checked by your area Dealer's specialised personnel.
WARNING: Remember to disconnect the wires
before you recharge the battery. It is advisable
to remove the battery from its housing and to
recharge it well away from the tractor.
WARNING: The place in which the battery is
recharged must be well ventilated. Do not
smoke or work with tools liable to produce
sparks or flames whilst the battery is being
recharged. [4.1.l]
WARNING: If you need to open the bonnet, follow the
procedure indicated under "How to open the bonnet".
WARNING: Always use the specific PPE for the opera-
tion concerned.
WARNING: Beware of burns caused by hot tractor and
engine parts. [4.1.n]
