HOW TO SET UP YOUR TRACTOR

PREPARE BATTERY (See Fig. 2)

CAUTION: Wear eye and face shield,
Wash hands or clothing immediately if

accidentally in contactwith battery acid.
Do not smoke. Fumes from charged

battery acid are explosive°
Read the instructions included with the

batteryvent caps. Always wear gloves,

clothing and goggles to protect your
hands, skin and eyes,

Your unit has a battery charging system which is sufficient
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 is standing (after adding acid) and later, while
battery is being charged, continue with assembly of unit.

To maximize the life of your battery, it is necessary that
the battery be charged before use. Usea 12volt battery

charger. Charge battery at a rate of 6 amperes for 1
hour, Observe all safety precautions required for bat-

tery charging. Failureto charge battery can result in a
shortened battery life,

Check the acid level after the battery is charged, If the
acid has fallen below the correct level, add distilled or

iron free water,
Install the vent caps to cover the vent wells, Wash fhe

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 dis-
posal by adding itto four inches of water in afive 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.
