4. After new oil has been added, run the engine at idle
speed until the oil pressure light is OFF. Check for
leaks at the filter and drain plug. Re-tighten only as
much as necessary to eliminate leakage.
CHECK THE BATTERY
The battery furnished with this machine is a 12 volt,
wet-cell battery.
Handling Battery Safely
The top of the battery must always be kept clean. Clean
the battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution
(ammonia or baking soda and water). After the foam-
ing has stopped, flush the top of the battery with clean
water. If the terminals and cable connection clamps are
corroded or have a buildup, disconnect the cables and
clean the terminals and clamps with the same alkaline
solution.
NOTE:
The battery in this machine is warranted
by the supplier. See the punch tag on the top of
the battery for warranty information.
Jump Starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have
enough power to start the engine, use jumper cables
and the following procedure to jump-start the engine.
IMPORTANT:
BE SURE that the jumper battery is
also a 12 volt D. C. battery, and the vehicle used
for jump starting has a negative ground electrical
system.
1. Turn the keyswitches on both vehicles to OFF. Be
sure that both vehicles are in “Neutral” and NOT
touching.
2. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cable
to the positive (+) battery terminal on the disabled
machine first. DO NOT allow the jumper’s positive (+)
cable clamps to touch any metal other than the positive
(+) battery terminals. Connect the other end of the pos-
WARNING
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in
use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks
away from the battery area. Make sure battery
is charged in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER lay a metal object on top of a battery
as a short circuit can result.
Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or
fabrics. If acid spills, follow these firstaid 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 min-
utes.
3. If acid comes in contact with 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.

WARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a
discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to per-
form the following procedure. The second per-
son is needed for removing the jumper cables
so that the operator does not have to leave the
operator’s compartment while the engine is
running. NEVER make the jumper cable con-
nections directly to the starter solenoid of
either engine. DO NOT start the engine from
any position other than the operator’s seat,
and then ONLY after being sure all controls
are in “neutral”.
Closely follow the jump-start procedures, in
the order listed, to avoid personal injury. In
addition, wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes, and avoid leaning over the batteries
while jump-starting.
DO NOT attempt to jump-start the machine if
the battery is frozen, because this may cause
it to rupture or explode.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use
one of the following mixtures:
a. 1 Pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 4
quarts (4 liters) of water.
b. 1 Pint (0.4 liters) of household ammo-
nia in 4 quarts (4 liters) of water.
Whenever battery is removed from the unit,
BE SURE to disconnect the negative (-) bat-
tery terminal connection cable first.
