BATTERY
The original battery is maintenance free. But the water in the electrolyte can evaporate during
use. So it needs to service for longer life.
■ CHECKING THE BATTERY
The electrolyte level of the battery can evaporate during use thus lowering the level.
Where it does so replace it with distilled water.
Where a spillage has reduced the level, replace it with electrolyte.
■ Battery Maintenance
Low temperatures will affect the performance of batteries so take particular care of it in winter.
For long-term storage of the tractor, remove the battery and keep it in a cool dry room.
If it is on the tractor while stored, disconnect the negative terminal.
Batteries will self discharge if left for a period of without use time.
To keep them in good condition charge them once a month in summer and every second month in winter.
When replacing the original battery, ensure that the replacement battery is the same size.
Failure to do so can cause problems with the electrical circuit.
IMPORTANT
Low electrolyte levels can cause premature battery failure and corrosion.
CAUTION
Electrolyte contains acid and can cause serious burns.
Any spillage on skin should be washed off by running water immediately.
