Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suffi-
cient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the
battery with an automotive charger will extend its life.
• See instructions packed with vent caps in parts bag.
° Fill battery with acid. Fill each cell until it reaches the
bottom of the vent wells. Do not overfill.
• Allow battery to stand and settle for at least thirty
minutes. After standing, check the level of acid. If
below the vent wells, add more acid until the correct
level is reached.
While battery isstanding (after adding acid) and later, while
battery is being charged, continue with assembly oftractor.
IMPORTANT: TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE BATTERY BE
CHARGED BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO CHARGE
BATTERY CAN RESULT IN A SHORTENED BATTERY
LIFE.
° Charge battery at a rate of 6 amperes for 1 hour. Use
a 12 volt battery charger. Observe alt safety precau-
tions required for battery charging.
• Check the acid level after the battery is charged. If the
acid has fallen below the correct level, add distilled or
iron free water.
• Installthe vent caps to cover the vent wells. Wash the
top of the battery with water to remove any acid, then
wipe dry.
• Check battery case for leakage to make sure that no
damage has occurred in handling.
• Dispose of excess battery acid. Neutralize acid for
disposal by adding it to four inches of water in a five
gallon plastic container. Stir with a wooden or plastic
paddle while adding baking soda until the addition of
more soda causes no more foaming.
• Follow instructions on how to install battery.
