9. Before starting any work on electrical equipment or work
that may cause you to touch the electrical part accidentally,
first disconnect the battery cables. Never remove the
rubber cap cover at the positive terminal of the battery
cable end. Before connecting the battery to the charger,
make sure that the charger switch is in "OFF" position. Be
sure to connect the charger to the correct terminals on the
battery, (positive to positive, negative to negative). A great
amount of hydrogen gas is generated by the battery when it
is being charged. Take precau-tions against fire: do not
have any exposed flame in the area where you are work-
ing. Be sure not to cause any leakage of the electrolyte,
since it will corrode the skin or clothing. In case of accident as
described below, immediately seek first aid, and see a
doctor immediately for proper treatment.
a) If the diluted sulfuric acid from the battery has gotten
into the eyes: Cleanse the eyes with a lot of clean run-
ning water for more than 15 minutes, while opening the
eyes widely.
b) If diluted sulfuric acid from the battery has been swal-
lowed:
Rinse the mouth with clean water immediately and drink
a lot of raw eggs or milk. Lie down quietly.
c) If diluted sulfuric acid has gotten on the skin or clothing:
Wash away the diluted sulfuric acid completely with a
lot of clean running water and neutralize with soap
solution. Then rinse with water.
d) If the diluted sulfuric acid is spilled:
Wash away with a lot of water or neutralize with
slacked lime or bicarbonate of soda.
10. If you intend to use the tractor for applying pesticide, wear
suitable protective gear such as goggles, mask gloves,
etc. Avoid direct contact with or breathing agricultural pes-
ticide as they may be dangerous for your health. For fur-
ther information, consult the manual of pesticide.

Neutral before performing any of the following services,

12. The steering wheel always has built-in play to some
extent, which is required for smooth working of sector
gear and pinion gear. Always inspect the amount of the
play. Do not operate the tractor if there is too much or too
little play in the steering.
