Accessing Engine Compartment
The engine compartment can be
accessed by lifting the hood upward
from the recessed notches of the side
panels and tipping the hood forward. If
greater access is required, the tractor
is equipped with quick release side
panels. To remove the quick release
side panels (see Figure 17):
• Open the hood by pulling up.
• Flip quick release fasteners up and
turn to align with slots in side panels.
• Swing the side panel out and away
from the tractor

General Battery Information
• Battery acid must be handled with
great care, as contact with it can
burn and blister the skin. It is
advisable to wear protective clothing
(goggles, rubber gloves and apron)
when working with acid.
• Should battery acid accidentally
splatter into the eyes or onto the
skin, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If
there is any further discomfort, seek
prompt medical attention.
• If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it
with clean water, then neutralize
with a solution of ammonia/water or
baking soda/water.
• Since battery acid is corrosive, do not
pour it into any sink or drain. Before
discarding an empty electrolyte con-
tainer, rinse it thoroughly with a
neutralizing solution.
• NEVER connect (or disconnect)
battery charger clips to the battery
while the charger is turned on, as it
can cause sparks.
• Keep all sources of ignition
(cigarettes, matches, lighters) away
from the battery. The hydrogen gas
generated during charging can be
combustible.
• As a further precaution, only charge
the battery in a well ventilated area.
• Always shield eyes and protect skin
and clothing when working near
batteries.
WARNING: Batteries contain
sulfuric acid and may emit
explosive gases. Use
extreme caution when han-
dling batteries. Keep
batteries out of the reach of
children.
