Warning
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
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.
Important Before welding on the machine, disconnect
ground cable from the battery to prevent damage to the
electrical system.
Note: Check battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery case
clean because a dirty battery will slowly discharge. To
clean the battery wash the entire case with solution of
baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water. Coat the
battery posts and cable connector with Grafo 112X
(Skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47 or petroleum jelly
to prevent corrosion.
