WARNING

• Do not jump-start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.

The battery in a Husqvarna vehicle is a 12-volt, low-maintenance battery that requires infrequent checks

(Figure 25)

. Electrolyte level should be checked semiannually.

1. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the

NEUTRAL position. Chock the wheels.

2. Access the engine compartment.

See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” on page 8.

3. Tilt the bed and ensure that the prop rod is properly engaged.

4. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first.

See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally start-

ing...” on page 8.

5. Use a flat blade screwdriver, and carefully remove the battery cell caps from the battery

(Figure 25)

See

following WARNING.

WARNING

• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a full face

shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.

6. Carefully check the electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary. Do not fill above designated fill

line. Replace battery cell caps.

7. Clean both battery terminals with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per

1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse thoroughly. Do not allow this solution to enter the battery. Tighten battery
terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector
Spray (P/N 603 00 00-03).

See following CAUTION.

CAUTION

to do so may cause them to overheat during operation.
