In order to service your tractor you
must park it on a īat level surface, set
the parking brake, place the gear shift
lever in neutral and stop the engine.
1. Do not smoke while working around
the battery or when refueling your
tractor. Keep all sparks and īames
away from the battery and fuel tank.
The battery presents an explosive
hazard because it gives off hydro-
gen and oxygen⦠especially when
recharging.
