Inspection and Maintenance
1.
stop engine, apply parking brake and remove key from
ignition switch.
Park machine on a level surface, lower attachment,
1. Check for cracks in battery case. Replace battery if
cracked or leaking.
2.
Check battery terminals for corrosion. Use wire
brush to clean corrosion from terminals.
2.
Locate battery at rear of machine. Loosen and re-
move hex nut and cap screw that secure negative (–)
cable to battery. Separate negative (–) cable from bat-
tery terminal. After negative cable is removed, loosen
and remove positive (+) cable.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the
caps are on tightly.
3.
hold down rod. Slide hold down rod away from battery.
Remove wing nuts and washers that secure 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.

4. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Re-
place the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
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 inspected for short circuits or faulty
components and repaired.
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.
