BATTERY
Your tractor
has a battery
charging
system
which
is sufficient
for normal

How-
ever, periodic
charging
of the battery
with
an automotive
charger
will extend
its life.
• Keep battery
and terminals
clean.
• Keep battery
bolts tight.
,
Keep small
vent holes open.
• Recharge
at 6-10 amperes
for 1 hour.
NOTE:
The original
equipment
battery
on
your tractor
is maintenance
free. Do not
attempt
to open or remove
caps or covers.
Adding
or checking
level of electrolyte
is
not necessary.
