ASSEMBLY HOW TO SET UP YOUR TRACTOR PREPARE BATTERY (See FIG. 3) a CAUTION: Wear eye and face shield. Wash hands or clothing immediately if accidentally in contact with battery acid. Do not smoke. Fumes from charged battery acid are explosive. Read the instructions included with the battery vent caps in the bag of parts. Always wear gloves, clothing and goggles to protect your hands, skin and eyes. INSTALL SEAT (See FIG. 4) Adjust seat before tightening adjustment knob. • Remove cardboard packing on seat pan. • Place seat on pan and assemble shoulder bolt. • Assemble adjustment knob and flat washer loosely. Do not tighten. • Tighten shoulder bolt securely. • Lower seat into operating position and sit on seat. • Slide seat until a comfortable position is reached which al- lows you to press clutch/brake pedal all the way down. • Get off seat without moving its adjusted position. • Raise seat and tighten adjustment knob securely. Your unit has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery with an automotive charger will extend its life. • See instructions packed with vent caps in parts bag. • Fill battery with acid. Fill each cell until it reaches the bottom of the vent wells. Do not over fill. • Allow battery to stand and settle for at least thirty minutes. After standing, check the level of acid. If below the vent wells, add more acid until the correct level is reached. While battery is standing (after adding acid) and later, while battery is being charged, continue with assembly of unit. • To maximize the life of your battery, it is necessary that the battery be charged before use. Use a 12 volt battery charger. Charge battery at a rate of 6 amperes for 1 hour. Observe all safety precautions required for battery charging. Failure to charge battery can result in a shortened battery life. • Check the acid level after the battery is charged. If the acid has fallen below the correct level, add distilled or iron free water. • Install the vent caps to cover the vent wells. Wash the top of the battery with water to remove any acid, then wipe dry. • Check battery case for leakage to make sure that no damage has occurred in handling. • Dispose of excess battery acid. Neutralize acid for disposal by adding it to four inches of water in a five gallon plastic container. Stir with a wooden or plastic paddle while adding baking soda until the addition of more soda causes no more foaming. • Follow instructions on how to install battery.
