Servicing the Battery

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.
Important: The machine is shipped with a filled
lead acid battery.
DANGER
Charging the battery may produce explosive gasses.
Battery gasses can explode causing serious injury.
• Keep sparks, flames, or cigarettes away from
battery.
• Ventilate when charging or using battery in an
enclosed space.
• Make sure venting path of battery is always open
once battery is filled with acid.
1. Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery
in the table below and charge the battery for the
recommended time interval to bring the charge up
to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater.
Important: Make sure the negative battery
cable is disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of
16 volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging
the battery (see chart below for recommended
charger settings).

CAUTION
If the ignition is in the "ON" position there
is potential for sparks and engagement of
components. Sparks could cause an explosion or
moving parts could accidentally engage causing
personal injury.
Be sure ignition switch is in the "OFF" position
before charging the battery.
2. Connect the negative battery cable.
Note: If the positive cable is also disconnected,
connect the positive (red) cable to the positive
battery terminal first, then the negative (black) cable
to the negative battery terminal. Slip insulator boot
over the positive terminal.
Note: If time does not permit charging the battery,
or if charging equipment is not available, connect
the negative battery cable and run the vehicle
continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to sufficiently
charge the battery.

Checking Tire Pressure

1. Check the tire pressure in the drive tires. Proper
inflation for drive tires is 12-16 psi (83-110 kPa).
2. Adjust the tire pressure within 12-16 psi (83-110
kPa) range to make the tire circumferences match as
closely as possible.
Greasing the Unit
Note: The unit is not greased at the factory.
1. Lubricate fittings with NGLI grade #2
multi-purpose gun grease. Refer to the following
chart and Figure 8 for fitting locations and initial
pumps.
