Never lay a metal object on top of a
battery, because a short circuit can
result. Battery acid is harmful to skin
and fabrics. If acid spills, follow these
first-aid tips:
• If battery acid spills on any clothing,
remove it immediately.
• If acid contacts skin, rinse the
affected area with running water for 10
to 15 minutes.
• If acid contacts eyes, flood eyes with
running water for 10 to 15 minutes. See
a doctor at once. Never use any medi-
cation or eye drops unless prescribed
by the doctor.
• To neutralize acid spilled on the floor,
use one of the following mixtures:
• 0.5 kg (1 lbs.) of baking soda
in 4 L (4 qts.) of water.
• 0.5 L (0.5 qts.) of household
ammonia in 4 L (4 qts.) of water.
The battery on the loader is a 12-volt, wet-cell
battery . To access the battery, open the rear
door and lift the engine cover .
The battery top must be kept clean . Clean it
with an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking
soda and water) . After foaming has stopped,
flush the battery top with clean water. If the
terminals and cable connection clamps are
corroded or have a build-up, disconnect the
cables and clean the terminals and clamps with
the same alkaline solution .
