Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
(1) Battery (2) Indicator
How to read the indicator
1. Check the battery condition by reading the
indicator.
State of indicator display
Green
Specific gravity of electrolyte and quality of
electrolyte are both in good condition.
Orange Add distilled water.
White Needs charging battery.
Battery charging
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
• When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place (if equipped).
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
• When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of
vent wells, if necessary add distilled water in a
wellventilated area.

(B) Lower level
The water in the electrolyte evaporates during
recharging. Liquid shortage damages the battery.
Excessive liquid spills over and damages the tractor
body.
To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal
and the negative to the negative, then recharge in
the normal manner.
A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will
partially charge the battery at a high rate and in a
short time. When using a boost-charged battery, it
is necessary to recharge the battery as early as
possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service
life.
When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between
1.27 and 1.29, the charging is completed.
2. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in TABLE 1.

Battery storage
1. When storing the tractor for long periods of time,
follow the following procedure.
a. Remove the battery from tractor.
b. Adjust the electrolyte to the proper level.
c. Store the battery in a dry place out of direct
sunlight.
2. Recharge it once every 3 months in hot seasons
and once every 6 months in cold seasons.
The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
