Battery maintenance
Low temperatures will affect the performance of batteries so take particular care of it in winter. For long-term
storage of the tractor remove the battery and keep it in a cool dry room. If it is on the tractor while stored,
disconnect the negative terminal. Batteries will self discharge if left for a period of without use time. To keep
them in good condition charge them once a month in summer and every second month In winter. When
replacing the original battery, ensure that the replacement battery is the same size. Failure to do so can
cause problems with the electrical circuit.

Battery charging

A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, It is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
Caution: Always disconnect the negative terminal first when removing the battery and always
connect the positive terminal first when fitting the battery. When connecting the battery leads make
sure not to reverse the polarity. Quick charging will reduce battery life. Disconnect the terminals
prior to charging the battery to avoid damage to the circuit and electrical instruments.
