Incorrect battery cable routing could
damage the machine 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.

5. Slide the rubber cover up the positive (red)

cable. Disconnect the positive (red) cable from
the battery post (Figure 43).

6. Remove the battery hold-down (Figure 43) and

lift the battery from the battery tray.

Checking the Battery Electrolyte Level

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.

1. Tip the seat forward to see the battery.
2. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte

must be up to the Upper line (Figure 44).
Do not allow the electrolyte to fall below the
Lower line (Figure 44).

3. Lower line

2. Upper line

3. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount

of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to
the Battery in Electrical System Maintenance,
page 34.

Adding Water to the Battery

The best time to add distilled water to the battery is
just before you operate the machine. This lets the
water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Remove the battery from the machine;

refer to Removing the Battery in
Electrical System Maintenance, page 34.

Important:

Never fill the battery with

distilled water while the battery is installed
in the machine. Electrolyte could be
spilled on other parts and cause corrosion.

2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
3. Remove the vent caps from the battery

(Figure 44).
