ACTIVATE BATTERY 

 

The battery is not installed and is shipped dry. Allow 
sufficient time for charging and installing the battery 
before operating the tractor.  Pay close attention to the

from your local dealer or retailer.  You will also need an 
automotive type battery charger to activate the battery for 
use.

the two seat knobs that secure it to rear fender.  See

WARNING 

The electrolyte (acid) produces a highly explosive 
gas.  Keep all sparks, flame and fire away from area 
when charging battery or when handling electrolyte 
or battery.  Electrolyte (acid) is a highly corrosive 
liquid. Wear eye protection.  Wash affected areas 
immediately after having eye or skin contact with 
electrolyte (acid). Flush with clear water and neutralize 
with baking soda. DO NOT OVER FILL! 

 
  3.  Remove battery cell caps.  Fill cells as required with 

electrolyte (purchased separately) to proper level.  
Fill to 3/16” above cell plates.  Filling battery with 
electrolyte will bring the battery to 80% charged 
state. 

 
Note:

  3/16” above cell plates is the recommended level.  

DO NOT place anything in battery other than 
specified electrolyte.
