Avoid Explosion
WARNING! Avoid serious injury from explosion.
Lead-acid batteries produce extremely explosive gases
especially when being charged. Keep arcs, sparks,
fl ames and lighted tobacco away.
• Do not smoke near batteries.
• Keep them away from arcs, sparks and open fl ames.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
Never check the battery by placing a metal object
across the battery posts. The resulting spark could
cause an explosion.
WARNING! Avoid serious injury from battery
explosion. Do not charge a battery or jump-start the
engine if the battery is frozen.
Warm to 60°F (15.5°C) or the battery may explode and
could cause serious injury.
Safety rules during battery jump-starting:
• Follow the instructions for proper battery jump-
starting, as specifi ed in the manufacturer's manual.
• Be sure the machines are not touching.
• Observe the polarity of the batteries and connections.
Tire and Wheel Maintenance
Check your tires and wheels daily, if equipped, because
the stability of the machine can be dramatically affected
by tire pressure or damage to tires or wheels.
Check tires for:
• Correct pressure.
• Cuts and bulges.
• Nails or other punctures.
• Uneven or excessive wear.
• Condition of valve stems and caps.
Check wheels for:
• Damage to the rims.
• Missing or loose lug nuts or bolts.
• Misalignment.
All tire service should be performed by a qualifi ed tire
service center or by an authorized service person who
has been properly trained in the procedures and use of
safety equipment designed for tire servicing.
WARNING! The types of wheels and tires usually
found on this equipment require special care when
servicing to prevent death or serious injury. Do not
infl ate the tires above the recommended pressure.

• Make the fi nal cable connection to the engine or
the furthest ground point away from the battery.
Never make the fi nal connection at the starter or
dead battery. Sparks may ignite the explosive gases
present at the battery.
• When disconnecting cables, remove the cables in
reverse order of connection (e.g., fi nal connection fi rst).
Toxic Chemical Disposal
For the safety of others and the environment, consult
with your operator's manual or site supervisor for proper
disposal of batteries and any chemicals or fl uids.
