FIG. 5-32: Battery, 1, is located under engine hood in
front of instrument panel. When battery removal, elec-
trolyte inspection or cable cleaning is necessary, open
the engine hood.
Keep top of battery clean and ensure cable connec-
tions are clean and tight. Debris on battery can cause
discharge of battery and possible source of fire.
DANGER: Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas when charged. Keep all
sparks and open flame away from battery.
When necessary to disconnect battery cables, always
disconnect the grounded (-) cable first to prevent short
circuits.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid electrolyte (fluid). Wear
eye and face protection. If electrolyte comes in con-
tact with skin or clothes, wash immediately. Contact a
doctor if electrolyte is ingested or gets in eyes.
FIG. 5-33: Tractors are shipped with the battery in-
stalled. If battery replacement should become neces-
sary, disconnect negative (-) cable (1) first and then
remove positive (+) cable (2). Loosen and remove
battery securing clamp and carefully remove battery
from tractor.
When installing battery, cable (2) connected to starter
solenoid should be connected to positive (+) battery
terminal first then cable (1) grounded to tractor frame
can be connected to negative (-) battery terminal.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse battery cable connec-
tions as severe electrical system dam-
age will result.
NOTE: Make sure replacement battery is of identical
size and equal capacity.
NOTE: Water does not need to be added to bat-
tery. The battery is a maintenance-free type
battery.
Never close or cover vent of battery.
