Rear Tires - Cub Cadet 108 Operator's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAUTION! If the rider is to be tipped
up or on its side remove the batteries to
avoid spilling the electrolyte. Battery
electrolyte is poisonous and can be injurious to
eyes, skin, and clothing. If electrolyte is spilled,
flush immediately with a solution of one part
baking soda to four parts water.
When replacing a battery, make certain the ground
cable is connected to the negative (-) terminal on
the battery. Be sure the rubber boot is properly
positioned over the positive (+) terminal on the
battery. NOTE: Both cables must be assembled
with the nuts to the inside of the terminals to
prevent shorting against fender well.
Cleaning and Servicing the Battery
Connecting Booster Batteries
Occasionally remove the battery cables and
brighten the terminal contact surfaces with wire
wool, and reassemble them. Apply a light coat of
vaseline or chassis lubricant. Be sure the terminals
are clamped tightly and that the battery is fastened
securely in the battery box. Replace unserviceable
cable. Keep the vent holes in the battery filler caps
open.
When required, a booster 12-volt battery may be
connected in parallel with the 12-volt system on
International Cub Cadet Tractors.
CAUTION I Gas discharged by batteries isexplos
Avoid sparks near the batteries.
Keeping the battery fully charged not only adds to
its life but makes it available for instant use when
needed.
NOTE: All circuits must be turned "off". Electri-
cal system is NEGATIVE (-) grounded only.
Reversed polarity will result in permanent damage
to components of the electrical system.
Liquid Level
The first jumper cable must connect the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery and the positive
terminal of the battery on the tractor.
Check the battery at least once a month for water
level.
The second jumper cable must first be connected
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery;
and then to a point on the frame of the tractor,
away from the battery, having a good ground, so
no spark occurs near the battery.
The electrolyte (acid and water) in each cell should
be at ring level at all times to prevent battery
failure. When the electrolyte is below this level,
add pure, distilled water.
Acid or electrolyte should never be added except
by a skilled battery man. Under no circumstances
add any special battery "dopes", solutions or
powders.
