sufficient time for charging and installing the battery

before operating the tractor. Pay close attention to the

precautionary statements on the battery and in these

two "Y" knobs that secure it to rear fender. See

Figure 1.

INSTRUCTION No. 2-8587 (REV. 2, 8/20/99)

WARNING

The electrolyte (acid) produces a highly explosive

gas. Keep all sparks, flame and fire away from area

when charging battery or when handling electrolyte

or battery. Electrolyte (acid) is a highly corrosive

liquid. Wear eye protection. Wash affected areas

immediately after having eye or skin contact with

electrolyte (acid). Flush with clear water and neutralize

with baking soda. DO NOT OVER FILL!

3. Remove battery cell caps. Fill cells as required with

electrolyte (purchased separately) to proper level.

Fill to 3/16” above cell plates. Filling battery with

electrolyte will bring the battery to 80% charged

state.

Note:3/16” above cell plates is the recommended level.

DO NOT place anything in battery other than

specified electrolyte.

battery terminals; RED to positive (+) and BLACK to

negative (-) terminal.

as an alternative, fast charge at not more than 2.5

amps for 4 hours to bring the battery to full charge.

battery life.

WARNING

Keep sparks and flames away from battery at all times!

Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse empty acid containers

with water and mutilate before discarding. If acid is

spilled on battery, bench, or clothing, etc., Flush with

to the positive terminal (+) on battery using bolt and

nut provided in hardware bag..

located on battery harness. This prevents metal
