^WARNING
For your personal safety when removing or installing
battery cables, always disconnect the negative cable
FIRST and reconnect it LAST. The positive battery
terminal can easily be shorted to the tractor frame by a
wrench or other tool if this is not done.
^WARNING
Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling
electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks away from the
battery.
Check Fluid Level
Check the battery fluid level. Wipe dirt from around the
caps then remove the caps one at a time. The fluid must be
even with the bottom of the split ring. If not, add distilled
water. Reinstall the caps. Be sure the cover is in place over
positive terminal.
Cleaning Battery and Cables.
1. Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative cable
first. A positive sign is stamped on the battery next
to the positive terminal. See figure 12.
