Battery

Before servicing the battery or electrical system, be sure the electrical battery disconnect switch is in the OFF position or disconnect the negative (ground) battery cable.

The battery on the loader is a 12-volt, wet-cell battery. To access the battery, open the engine access cover and lock open the rear grille.

The battery top must be kept clean. Clean it with an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water). After foaming has stopped, flush the battery top with clean water. If the terminals and cable connection clamps are corroded or have a build-up, disconnect the cables and clean the terminals and clamps with the same alkaline solution. Apply protective spray to prevent corrosion.

Warning Warning

Explosive gas is produced when a battery is in use or being charged. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery area. ALWAYS charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.

Never lay a metal object on top of a battery, because a short circuit can result.

Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first-aid tips:

1.Immediately remove any clothing on which acid spills.

2.If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affected area with running water for 10 to 15 minutes.

3.If acid contacts the eyes, flood the eyes with running water for 10 to 15 minutes. See a doctor at once. Never use any medication or eye drops unless prescribed by the doctor.

4.To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use one of the following mixtures: a.1 pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 1 gallon (4 L) of water, or b.1 pint (0.5 L) of household ammonia in 1 gallon (4 L) of water

Whenever the battery is removed, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal connection first.
