LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
10. Belt Pulley (where fitted)
1. Level/filler plug
11. Battery
1. Vent plug
2. Wing nut clamp
Operation 14 - Battery Electrolyte Level
The battery is mounted on a hinged tray which may be
swung outward, to improve accessibility, after loosening
the wing nut clamp.
Remove the vent plugs and add distilled water to bring the
electrolyte level 0.25 in. (6 mm) above the top of the
separator plates.
Ensure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. To
prevent the formation of verdigris (corrosion) the terminals
should be greased with petroleum jelly (Vaseline or similar).
CAUTION :
Do not use a open flame to check the
electrolyte level. Wear eye protection when charging
the battery or starting the engine with a slave battery.
NOTE :
In some territories, maintenance free batteries are
fitted on the Farmtrac tractors. Please follow the
manufacturer maintenance instructions.
