posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amps until
the specific gravity is 1.250 or higher and the
temperature is at least 60_F (16_C) with all sells
gassing freely.
6. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts.

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.
Warning
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal tractor components causing sparks.
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the tractor.
7. Reinstall the battery to the machine.
8. First, install the positive cable (red) to the positive (+)
terminal and then the negative cable (black) to the
negative (–) terminal of the battery (Fig. 9). Slide the
rubber boot over the positive terminal to prevent a
possible short from occurring.
Warning
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.
