16. BATTERY
DANGER:
•
The battery generates very explosive
gases, so avoid smoking and keep sparks
and open flames away from the battery.
Charging the battery should be done in a
place well ventilated to disperse explosive
gases as quickly as possible.
• Battery electrolyte is very corrosive and
will cause burns, so if it splashes on skin
or clothes, wash it off immediately. If acid
contacts eyes, flush immediately with
clean water and get medical attention.
• When using booster cables, take sufficient
safety measures.

INSPECTION OF ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The battery,1, is installed on the middle of the left hand
side of the front mower. Check to see if the electrolyte
level is between the upper and lower limits.
When the level is near to the lower limit or below, raise the
level with distilled water to the upper limit.
WARNING:
Never attempt to keep on using or charging
the battery with a electrolyte level lower than
the limit, or the battery may explode or its
service life be shortened due to deterioration
inside the casing.
IMPORTANT: The electrolyte level should always be
kept between the upper and lower limits. A
too high level will cause the electrolyte to
overflow and corrode other parts.

HANDLING OF THE BATTERY
WARNING:
• Be sure to connect the battery terminals
correctly.
• The wiring from the battery should be kept
clean and connectors tight. Dirty or loose
wiring may cause a fire.
• When disconnecting the battery, disconnect
the negative terminal first and vice versa
when connecting.
• When replacing the battery, use a battery of
the same capacity as that of the current on
(80D 26R).
a. As atmospheric temperature lowers, the performance
of the battery also lowers. Consequently the battery
should be serviced with special care in wintertime.
