Handling, Checking, and Servicing Batteries
Carefully
NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, general
service of maintenance free batteries is not required.
CAUTION: Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks
and flames away from batteries. Use a flashlight
to check battery electrolyte level.
Never check battery charge by placing
a metal object across the posts. Use a
voltmeter or hydrometer.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp
first and replace it last.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous.
Sulfuric acid is strong enough to burn skin,
eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness
if splashed into eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:
1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.
2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoiding breathing fumes when
electrolyte is added.
4. Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.
5. Using proper jump start procedure.
If acid is spilled on a person:
1. Flush contacted skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda or lime to contacted
area to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush eyes with water for 15—30 minutes.
4. Get medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.
2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but
do not exceed 1.9 L (2 qt).
3. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
If electrolyte spills on the floor, use one of the following
mixtures to neutralize the acid: 0.5 kg (1 lb) baking soda in
4 L (1 gal) water or 0.47 L (11.0 fl oz) household ammonia
in 4 L (1 gal) water.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the battery cells.
Check the specific gravity of electrolyte in each battery cell.
See an authorized John Deere dealer for
SERVICEGARD™ battery and coolant tester. Follow
directions included with the tester.
