NOTE: If the battery is put into service after date shown on top/
side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in Charging the
Battery, prior to operating.
Battery Maintenance
• Some batteries are filled with battery acid and then sealed
at the factory. However, even a "maintenance free" battery
requires some maintenance to ensure its proper life cycle.
• Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a battery terminal
sealer or coat the terminals with a thin coat of grease or
petroleum jelly, to protect against corrosion.
• Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free
of corrosion.
• Some models are equipped with a battery containing a liquid
electrolyte. Handle the battery with care and avoid tipping to
prevent leakage.

Battery Storage
• When storing the tractor for extended periods, disconnect
the negative battery cable. It is not necessary to remove
the battery.
• All batteries discharge during storage. Keep the exterior
of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty battery will
discharge more rapidly.
• The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged
battery can freeze sooner than a charged battery. A fully
g
charged battery will store longer in cold temperatures
than hot.
• Recharge the battery before returning to service. Although
the tractor may start, the engine charging system may not
fully recharge the battery.
Battery Removal
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
The battery is located beneath the seat frame. To remove
the battery:
MODELS WITH LEAD-ACID BATTERY
1. Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the black
negative battery lead to the negative battery post (marked
NEG (-)). Move the cable away from the negative battery post.
2. Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the red
positive battery lead to the positive battery post (marked
POS (+)).
3. Remove the hex washer screw (a) securing the battery hold-
down rod (b) to the frame. Then flip the battery hold-down
rod (b) up to free the battery (Figure 14).
4. Carefully lift the battery out of the tractor.
5. Install the battery by repeating the above steps in the
reverse order.
