6.2 Charging the battery
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
• When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place (if equipped).
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
(1) Battery
1. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal
and the negative to the negative, then recharge in
the standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will
partially charge the battery at a high rate and in a
short time. When using a boost-charged battery, it is
necessary to recharge the battery as early as
possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service
life.
3. The battery is charged when the indicator display
turns from black to green.
4. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
a battery of equivalent specification to those shown
in the following table.

6.3 Directions for battery storage
1. When storing the tractor for long periods of time,
remove the battery from the tractor, adjust the
electrolyte to the proper level and store in a dry
place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once every 3 months in hot seasons
and once every 6 months in cold seasons.
IMPORTANT :
• In checking and refilling the battery, be
careful not to spill battery fluid. Spilt battery
fluid may affect the engine controller (ECU)
located below the battery, resulting in
damage.
