Battery - Install
1. Check the battery for cleanliness, especially around the
terminals. Clean the area where the battery mounts
to the tractor frame to prevent debris from piercing the
body of the battery.
2. Check the vent caps for proper installation and tight-
ness.
3. Ensure that no leakage occurs from the battery.
4. Install the battery squarely into position before securing
with strap, and J-bolt, (1).
5. Connect the negative (-) terminal, (2), then the positive
(+) terminal, (3).
NOTE: Coat the battery terminal clamps with petroleum
jelly or equivalent. Do not use conventional lubricants as
electrolyte corrosion may occur.
6. Check battery terminal connections for correct polarity
and tightness. Do not overtighten. Install dust covers
over terminals, (where installed).
