ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Jump starting can be dangerous. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
electrical components in vehicle,
observe the following warnings:
Never jump start with a voltage source
greater than 15 volts D.C. This will
damage the electrical system.
Never attempt to jump start a discharged
battery that is frozen. It could rupture
or explode during jump starting.
Observe all battery warnings while jump
starting your vehicle.
Be sure your vehicle is not touching the
jump start vehicle.
Connecting cables to the wrong post
could result in personal injury and/or
damage to the electrical system.
CAUTION
Electrolyte gases are explosive and can
cause serious injury to eyes, lungs and
skin. Nausea may result if the gases are
inhaled.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with electrolyte or battery.
Charge the Battery in a well ventilated
place so gases produced while charging
can dissipate.
Unplug charger from electrical outlet
before connecting to or disconnecting
charger leads from battery posts.
Since the gases are explosive, keep
open flames and electrical spark away
from the battery; DO NOT SMOKE!
BATTERY CARE
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly
maintained and the top of the battery kept clean.
If the vehicle is stored in a location where
temperatures are extremely high, the battery will
run down more rapidly than if the vehicle is stored
in a location where temperatures are cool.
2. Keep top of battery clean by washing
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top
surface with water after cleaning. Do not remove
fill cap while cleaning.
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
4. If corrosion occurs at terminals. Remove
battery cover, disconnect cables, negative (-)
cables first and scrape clamps and terminals
separately. Reconnect cables positive (+) cable
first and coat terminals with petroleum jelly.
5. Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating
hours, or if machine is in storage, every 30 days.
6. Maintain cell level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill cells above the
bottom of the ring inside each cell.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Connect a jumper cable between the positive
(+) battery posts of the two batteries. The positive
posts may be identified by a "+" sign on the top of
the battery covers.
2. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the battery in the other
vehicle. The negative terminal has a "-" sign or
NEG on the battery cover. DO NOT connect the
other end of the jumper cable to the negative (-)
post of the discharged MULTI PRO
®
5500 battery.
Connect it to the engine. DO NOT connect the
jumper cable to the fuel system.
3. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the
jump start. Let it run for a few minutes, then start
the MULTI PRO
®
5500 engine.
4. Remove the negative (-) jumper cable first from
the MULTI PRO
®
5500 engine, then from the
battery in the other vehicle.
5. Finally, remove the remaining cable from both
batteries.
FUSES (Fig. 42)
There are two 30 amp fuses in the vehicle's
electrical system. The fuse box is located under
the left operators seat.
The 5 amp in-line fuse located under the dash
panel on the left side, is for the speed control
feature.
