Activating the Battery

Bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet.

4. Wait five to ten minutes after filling the battery cells. Add electrolyte, if necessary, until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line (Fig. 1) on the battery case.

5. Install the battery vent caps.

Danger

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.

• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and robber gloves to protect your hands.

• Fill the battery where clean water is always

available for flushing the skin.

• Follow all instructions and comply with all

safety messages on the electrolyte container.

1. Remove the battery from the machine and place it on a

level surface; refer to the Operator’s Manual, Removing the Battery.

Important Never fill the battery with electrolyte while

the battery is installed in the tractor. Electrolyte could be spilled on other parts and cause corrosion.

2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.

3. Remove the vent caps from the battery (Fig. 1). Slowly

pour electrolyte into each battery cell until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line on the battery case (Fig. 1).

6. Charge the battery for 1 hour at 25 to 30 amps or 6 hours at 4 to 6 amps (Fig. 2). Do not overcharge the battery.

Warning

Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode.

Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from battery.

7. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger

from the electrical outlet, then disconnect the charger leads from the battery posts (Fig. 2).

Important Do not overfill the battery because

electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe corrosion and damage to the chassis.
