Battery Maintenance Cleaning
Battery terminals must be kept clean and tight. The cable
terminals will corrode and interfere with battery
performance unless regularly checked. A light smear of
petroleum jelly on the terminal posts and connections will
help to resist corrosion.
Occasionally remove the connections and clean the terminal
posts with wire wool or emery cloth, smear with petroleum
jelly and reassemble.
Wash the battery top with warm water and soda. Ensure
that none of this solution gets into the battery cells. Finally
rinse with plain water. The vent holes in the filler caps
should be open at all times.
Servicing
Check the battery at every 50 hrs. of operation for
electrolyte level and specific gravity. If the battery shows
need of charging it must be given immediate attention.
Keeping the battery fully charged not only preserve its life
but makes itself available for instant use when needed.
When replacing the battery the earth cable must be
connected to the negative (– ve) terminal and the battery
cover secured in its correct position.
Do not, under any circumstances, allow an electric spark or
open flame near the battery, during or immediately after
charging. Do not lay steel tools across the terminals, as this
may result in a spark or a short circuit which could cause
an explosion. Be careful to avoid spilling electrolyte on
hands or clothing.
Effect of Low Temperatures
Battery capacity is greatly reduced in cold condition which
has a decided numbing effect on the electrochemical action
of the battery. Based on ambient temperature cranking
power is available as listed below:
At 80°F : 100%
At 32°F : 65%
At 0°F : 40%
If your tractor is not to be operated for some time during
winter months, it is advisable to remove the battery and
store in a dry place where the temperature will not fall
below freezing point.
Maintaining the electrical system in good working order will
enable the alternator to provide the current needed
necessary to keep battery fully charged thus ensuring
maximum efficiency of the electrical devices.
Ensure that the terminals are clamped tight,
and the battery is securely fastened down in the
battery tray.
Do not over-tighten.
Before working on any part of the electrical
system disconnect the battery ground cable. Do
not reconnect this cable until all electrical work
has been completed. This will prevent short
circuits and damage to electrical units.
Electric storage batteries give off a highly
inflammable gas when charging and continue
to do so some time after receiving a steady
charge

When the alternator is charging, an explosive
gas is produced inside the battery. Therefore
always check the electrolyte level with the
engine stopped. Do not use an exposed flame
and do not smoke while checking the battery.
