Activating and Installing the
Battery
Parts needed for this step:
2 Bolt, 1/4 x 3/4 inch
2 Hex Nut, 1/4 inch
Procedure
Bulk electrolyte with 1.265 specific gravity must be
purchased from a local battery supply outlet.
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 robber gloves
to protect your hands.
•
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
•
Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
1. Remove the battery from the tractor.
2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
Note: Never fill the battery with electrolyte while
the battery installed in the tractor. Electrolyte could
be spilled on other parts and cause corrosion.
3. Remove the vent caps from the battery (Figure 5 ).

4. Slowly pour electrolyte into each battery cell until
the level is up to the upper line on the battery case
(Figure 5 ).
Important: Do not overfill the battery
because electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause
severe corrosion and damage to the chassis.
5. Wait five to ten minutes after filling the battery cells.
Add electrolyte, if necessary, until the electrolyte
level is up to the upper line on the battery case
(Figure 5 ).
6. Install the battery filler caps.
Charging the battery produces gasses that
can explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep
sparks and flames away from battery.
Note: Make sure the vent caps are installed in
the battery.
7. Charge the battery for 1 hour at 10 amps or 2 hours
at 5 amps.
8. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the
charger from the electrical outlet, then disconnect
the charger leads from the battery posts (Figure 6 ).
