Assembling the lawn tractor
3.6 Connecting the starter battery (09, 10)
The lawn tractor comes with a starter battery.
The starter battery is located under the engine
cover.
The starter battery is always supplied from the
factory pre-charged.
WARNING! Danger if the starter battery
is not handled correctly! The following points
must be complied with to avoid the dangers aris-
ing from incorrect handling of the battery!
■
Do not store the starter battery in the immedi-
ate vicinity of naked flames, do not burn it or
place it on heaters. Risk of explosion.
■
Store the starter battery in a cool, dry room
(10 - 15 °C) over the winter. Avoid storing at
temperatures below the freezing point.
■
Do not leave the starter battery without
charge for a long period. If the starter battery
is not used for a long period, it should be
charged using a suitable charger.
■
Do not smash the starter battery. The electro-
lyte (sulphuric acid) causes chemical burns to
the skin and clothing – immediately rinse off
with copious amounts of water.
■
Keep the starter battery clean. Only wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Do not use water, pet-
rol, thinners or similar for this purpose.
■
Do not short-circuit the connection terminals.
CAUTION! Danger of a short circuit! To
avoid a short circuit, always disconnect the nega-
tive cable (-) of the battery first, and reconnect it
last! Always remove the ignition key before start-
ing work on the battery!
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Connect the battery cables to the connection
terminals of the battery.
NOTE Check the polarity:
■
Red terminal = positive terminal (+)

Black terminal = negative terminal (-)
