Check Engine Mounting Hardware
ALL bolts which secure the engine mounting brackets
to the engine and the loader frame should be checked
and re-tightened, as necessary.
Check Battery
WARNING
Before servicing the battery or electrical
system, be sure the battery disconnect switch
(if equipped) is in the “OFF” position. If not
equipped with a disconnect switch,
disconnect the ground (-) terminal from
battery.
The battery on the loader is a 12 volt, wet-cell battery.
To access the battery, lift the engine access cover,
unlatch and open the rear grille.
The battery top MUST be kept clean. Clean it with an
alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water).
After foaming has stopped, flush the battery top with
clean water. If the terminals and cable connection
clamps are corroded or have a build-up, disconnect the
cables and clean the terminals and clamps with the same
alkaline solution.
Handling the Battery Safely
WARNING
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in
use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks
away from the battery area. ALWAYS charge
the battery in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER lay a metal object on top of a battery,
because a short circuit can result.
Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or
fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first aid tips:
1. IMMEDIATELY remove any clothing on
which acid spills.
2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the
affected area with running water for 10 to
15 minutes.
3. If acid contacts the eyes, flood the eyes
with running water for 10 or 15 minutes.
See a doctor at once. NEVER use any
medication or eye drops unless
prescribed by the doctor.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor,
use one of the following mixtures:
a. 1 pound (0,5 kilogram) of baking soda
in 1 gallon (4 liters) of water
b. 1 pint (0,5 liters) of household
ammonia in 1 gallon (4 liters) of water
Whenever the battery is removed, BE SURE to
disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal
connection first.
