Fuse

Service Interval/Specification
The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check
component/circuit for malfunction or short.
Fuse: Main F1–30 amp, blade-type
Alternator F2–25 amp, blade-type
Safety Interlock and Clutch F3–15 amp,
blade-type
1. Remove dash panel screws to gain access to fuse
holder (Fig. 34).
2. To replace fuses pull out on the fuse to remove it
(Fig. 34).

Battery

Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 8
hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully
charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case.
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with

a solution of four parts water and one part baking
soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to prevent corrosion.
Voltage: 12 v, 280 Cold Cranking Amps
Checking Electrolyte Level
1. Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte
must be up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 35). Do not allow the electrolyte to get
below the plates. (Fig. 35).
2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount
of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the
Battery, page 32.

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. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 35).
3. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the level is up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 35).
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the battery
because electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause
severe corrosion and damage to the chassis.
