Connecting the starter battery

The lawn tractor comes with a starter battery.
The starter battery is located under the engine cover.
The starter battery is always supplied from the factory pre-charged.

WARNING! Danger if the starter battery is not handled correctly! The following points must be complied with to avoid the dangers arising from incorrect handling of the battery!

• Do not store the starter battery in the immediate vicinity of naked flames, do not burn it or place it on heaters. Risk of explosion.
• Store the starter battery in a cool, dry room (10 – 15 °C) over the winter. Avoid storing at temperatures below the freezing point.
• Do not leave the starter battery without charge for a long period. If the starter battery is not used for a long period, it should be charged using a suitable charger.
• Do not smash the starter battery. The electrolyte (sulphuric acid) causes chemical burns to the skin and clothing – immediately rinse off with copious amounts of water.
• Keep the starter battery clean. Only wipe clean with a dry cloth. Do not use water, petrol, thinners or similar for this purpose.
• Do not short-circuit the connection terminals.

CAUTION! Danger of a short circuit! To avoid a short circuit, always disconnect the negative cable (-) of the battery first, and reconnect it last! Always remove the ignition key before starting work on the battery!

1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Connect the battery cables to the connection terminals of the battery (34).

NOTE Check the polarity:

• Red terminal = positive terminal (+)
