MAINTENANCE REPLACING THE BATTERIES See Figure 24 - 31. NOTE: Only use RYOBI Electric Riding Lawn Mower 75Ah (LPC12-75) or 100Ah (LPC12-100) lead acid batteries. This mower operates on four 12 volt batteries connected in a series. If replacing one or more of the batteries, always replace using a battery of the same type with equal voltage and capacity. WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 and rubber gloves when replacing the batteries. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes or other serious personal injury. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries could explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions. Do not expose the battery to rain or keep in damp locations. Water and liquids can come in contact with the battery and damage connections and electronic components, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal injury. When batteries are not in use, keep away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause serious burns. SAFETY INTERLOCK CABLE HEX HD. BOLT SEAT TABS TABS WIRING COVER NOTICE: Use only identical lead acid batteries when replacing.

Only use RYOBI Electric Riding Lawn Mower 75Ah
(LPC12-75) or 100Ah (LPC12-100) lead acid batteries.
This mower operates on four 12 volt batteries connected in
a series. If replacing one or more of the batteries, always
replace using a battery of the same type with equal voltage
and capacity.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 and rubber gloves when replac-
ing the batteries. Failure to do so could result in objects

cial disposal instructions.
Do not expose the battery to rain or keep in damp loca-
tions. Water and liquids can come in contact with the

nents, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk
of fire, and serious personal injury.
When batteries are not in use, keep away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
