ASSEMBLY WARNING Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. Seek prompt medical attention. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/water or baking soda/water. NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks. Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated during charging can be combustible. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use extreme caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if misused. Do NOT open, disassemble, overheat, or incinerate the battery. CAUTION When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (-). CONNECTING BATTERY CABLES WARNING Always connect the positive lead to the battery before connecting the negative lead. This will prevent sparking or possible injury from an electrical short caused by contacting the tractor body with tools being used to connect the cables. For shipping reasons the factory may leave both battery cables disconnected from the terminals. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows: NOTE: Wiring harness should lay on top of battery hold down rod, otherwise damage to the wiring harness may result. See Figure 15 on page 11. Models with Lead-Acid Battery 1. If present, remove the plastic cover from the positive battery terminal. Attach the red connector to the positive battery terminal (+) using the bolt (a) and hex nut (b). See Figure 12. 2. If present, remove the plastic cover from the negative battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative battery terminal (-) with the bolt (a) and hex nut (b). See Figure 12. 3. Position the red rubber boot (c) over the positive battery terminal to help protect it from corrosion. See Figure 12. (b) (b) (a) (c) (a) Figure 12 NOTE: If the battery is put into service after date shown on top/ side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Charging the Battery section, prior to operating.

Use a Philips screw driver. See Figure 13. 3. Remove the plastic cover (c), if present, from the negative battery terminal (f) and attach the black cable (g) to the negative battery terminal (f) with the remaining hex screw (a) and square nut (b). See Figure 13. 4. Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery terminal to help protect it from corrosion. See inset in Figure 13.
