WARNING
Battery acid causes burns. Batteries contain sulfuric acid.
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Contact with skin and eyes could result in severe irritation
and burns. Always wear splash-proof goggles and protective clothing (gloves and aprons). Wash
hands after handling.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
The tractor is equipped with a BCI group 34, 12 V bat-
tery (1) with a minimum cold cranking ability of 660 A at
-18 °C (0 °F).
Make sure the battery connections are tight and free
of corrosion. Use a solution of baking soda and water
to wash the outside surface and terminals of the bat-
tery when necessary. However, make sure the solution
does not get inside the battery. After cleaning, wash the
battery with clean water, and then apply a small amount
of petroleum jelly to the terminals to prevent corrosion.
Maintain a good battery charge in freezing tempera-
tures. If the battery discharges or becomes run down,
the electrolyte becomes weak and may freeze, causing
damage to the case.
