IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the
caps are on tightly.
Removal and Installation (Fig. 38)
1.
After negative cable is removed, loosen and remove
positive (+) cable.
Loosen and remove negative (–) cable from battery.
3.
Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top of
the battery which might indicate a loose or missing filler
cap, overcharging, loose terminal post or overfilling.
Also, check battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the bat•
tery with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse
it with clean water.
2.

4.
place the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Re•
Install battery in reverse order making sure to con•
nect positive (+) cable to battery before connecting neg•
ative (–) cable.
5.
Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level is
below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells with
distilled water between the minimum and maximum fill
lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to allow
sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.
NOTE: Before connecting the negative (ground) cable,
connect a digital multimeter (set to amps) between the
negative battery post and the negative (ground) cable
connector. The reading should be less than 0.1 amp. If
the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the machine’s electrical
system should be tested and repaired.
5.
After battery cables have been connected to battery,
make sure that speed selector lever does not come with•
in 1 inch (25.4 mm) of either battery cable when moved
through its entire range of motion. Also check that bat•
tery cables do not contact rotating screen on engine.
