Battery Care
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.
Warning
The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained
and the top of the battery kept clean. Store the machine in a
cool place to prevent the battery from running down.
Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating hours or, if
machine is in storage, every 30 days.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
•
Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
•
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring
inside each cell.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning it.
Do not remove the fill caps while cleaning the battery.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
•
Always
disconnect
the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
•
Always
connect
the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
Warning
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables,
negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals
separately. Reconnect the cables, positive (+) cable first,
and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
Storage
If you wish to store the machine for a long period of time,
the following steps should be performed prior to storage:
1.
Remove accumulations of dirt and old grass clippings.
Sharpen the reels and bedknives, if necessary; refer to
the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual. Use a rust
preventive on bedknives and reel blades. Grease and oil
all lubrication points; refer to Lubrication, page 28.
2.
Block up the wheels to remove any weight on the tires.
3.
Drain and replace the hydraulic fluid and filter and
inspect the hydraulic lines and fittings. Replace, if
necessary; refer to Changing the Hydraulic Oil and
Filter, page 32 and Checking the Hydraulic Lines and
Hoses, page 33.
4.
All fuel should be removed from the fuel tank. Run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Replace the fuel
filter; refer to Replacing the Fuel Filter, page 32.
5.
While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the
crankcase. Refill it with fresh oil; refer to Changing the
Engine Oil and Filter, page 29.
6.
Remove the spark plugs, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil
into the cylinders, and crank slowly to distribute the oil.
Replace the spark plugs; refer to Replacing the Spark
Plugs, page 31.
7.
Clean dirt and chaff from the cylinder, cylinder head
fins, and blower housing.
8.
Remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on
the shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables
disconnected if it is stored on the machine. Store the
battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick
deterioration of the charge in the battery.
9.
If possible, store the machine in a warm, dry location.
