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.
DANGER
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.
•
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning.
Do not remove the fill cap while cleaning.
•
Ensure that the battery cables are kept tight on the
terminals to provide good electrical contact.
•
If corrosion occurs at terminals, remove the battery
cover, disconnect the cables (negative (–) cable first), and
scrape the clamps and terminals separately. Connect the
cables (positive (+) cable first) and coat the terminals
with petroleum jelly.
•
If you store the machine in a location where temperatures
are extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where
temperatures are cool.

Maintaining the Tires, Wheels,

Inspecting the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a
tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect tire
condition after an accident.
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear pre maturely.
Figure 63 shows an example of tire wear caused by under
inflation.

Figure 64 shows an example of tire wear caused by over
inflation.
