Charging the Battery
Charging the battery produces gasses that
can explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep
sparks and flames away from battery.
Important: Always keep the battery
fully charged (1.265 specific gravity). This
is especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C).
1. Remove the battery from the chassis.
2. Charge battery for 10 to 15 minutes at 25 to 30
amps or 30 minutes at 4-6 amps.
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug
the charger from the electrical outlet, then
disconnect the charger leads from the battery
posts (Fig. 67).

4. Install the battery in the machine and connect
the battery cables; refer to Installing the
Battery.
Note: Do not run the machine with the
battery disconnected, electrical damage may
occur.
Servicing the Fuses
The electrical system is protected by fuses. It
requires no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows
check component/circuit for malfunction or short.
The fuses are as follows:
• Main F1-30 amp, blade-type
• Alternator F2-25 amp, blade-type
1. Unlatch the seat and raise the seat to gain
access to fuse holder (Figure 46).
