• Prevent the battery terminals from touching any
metal mower parts when removing or installing
the battery.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal mower parts.
Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to
the mower and battery cables. This can cause sparks
which can cause a battery gas explosion which will
result in personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable(s) before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable(s).
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable(s)
before connecting the negative (black) cable(s).
Avoid Acid Burns
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing and
cause blindness if splashed in eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:
• Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
• Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is
added.
• Avoiding spilling or contacting dripped
electrolyte.
If you spill acid on yourself:
• Flush your skin with water.
• Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the
acid.
• Flush your eyes with water for 10–15 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
• Drink large amounts of water or milk.
• Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs or
vegetable oil.
• Get medical attention immediately.
