Servicing the Battery
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use
a paper towel to clean the battery and battery box. If
the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a
solution of 4 parts water and 1 part baking soda. Apply
a light coating of grease to the battery terminals to
prevent them from corroding.

Removing the Battery
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine 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 machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and the metal parts of
the machine.
1. Disengage the blades (PTO).
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
4. Remove the ignition key.
5. Open the hood to see the battery (under the dash
panel).
6. Lift the rubber cover up off the negative (black)
cable.
7. Disconnect the negative (black) ground cable from
the battery post (Figure 29).
