Charging the Battery

WARNING

Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.

Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.

Important:

Always keep the battery fully charged.

This is especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C).

1. Charge battery for 10 to 15 minutes at 25 to 30 amps

or 30 minutes at 10 amps.

2. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger

from the electrical outlet, then disconnect the
charger leads from the battery posts (Figure 47).

3. Install the battery in the machine and connect the

battery cables, refer to Installing the Battery.

Note:

Do not run the machine with the battery

Servicing the Fuses

The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check the
component/circuit for a malfunction or short.

Fuses:

•

Main, 30 amp, blade-type

•

Engine, 20 amp, blade-type

1. The fuses are located on right hand console next to

the seat (Figure 48).

2. To replace the fuses, pull out on the fuse to remove

it.

3. Install a new fuse of the same amperage removed

(Figure 48).
