(1) Battery (2) Clamp
IMPORTANT :
• Since the metal-battery-holder can crack, do not
tighten it too much.
• To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal
and the negative to the negative, then charge as
follows.
Charging the battery For at least 1 hour at 6.5 amperes
• A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will
partially charge the battery at a high rate and in a
short time. When using a boost-charged battery, it
is necessary to recharge the battery as early as
possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service
life.
• When the specific gravity of electrolyte is shown in
the following table, the charging is completed.
Specific gravity of electrolyte Between 1.27 and 1.29
1.2 Dealing with the battery when storing
the tractor for a long period
1. Remove the battery from the tractor.
2. Adjust the electrolyte to the proper level.
3. Store the battery in a dry place out of direct

a. Undo the hook.
b. Turn the air cleaner cover clockwise and detach
it.
2. Clean the air cleaner element.
When dry dust adheres to the element, blow
compressed air from the inside, turning the
element. Pressure of compressed air must be the
value shown in the following table.
Pressure of compressed air Below 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30 psi)
3. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, follow
the following procedure.
a. Soak the air cleaner element in detergent for
the following minutes.
Soaking the air cleaner element in detergent For 15 minutes
b. Then wash it several times in water.
