Battery Safety

FIG. 36: Electrical storage batteries give off highly
flammable hydrogen gas.
materials, open flames, and electrical sparks away from
the battery.
Do not lay tools or other conductive materials on a battery.
Be careful when connecting booster cables to the
machine. Electrical component damage or battery
explosion can result if booster cables are not installed
correctly. See Jump Starting in the Maintenance section
for more information.
Battery posts, terminals and other battery parts contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands carefully after
handling a battery.
FIG. 37: Fluid in the electrical storage batteries contains
sulfuric acid. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or
clothing. Wash your hands after handling the battery.
If skin contact occurs, flush immediately with large
amounts of water.
If eye contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention immediately.
If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk. Do not
induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

Tire Safety

FIG. 38: Check tires for cuts, bulges, and correct
pressure. Replace worn or damaged tires. When tire
service is needed, have a qualified tire mechanic service
the tire. Tire changing can be very hazardous and must
be done by qualified tire mechanic using proper tools and
equipment. See the Specifications Section for the correct
tire size.
Tire explosion and/or serious injury can result from over
inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation pressures. See
the Specifications Section for the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate a tire that is seriously under inflated or has
been run flat. Have the tire checked by qualified tire
mechanic.
Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed. Welding
will make an air/gas mixture that can cause an explosion
and burn with high temperatures. This danger applies to
all tires, inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking the
bead is not enough. The tire must be completely removed
from the rim prior to welding.
