must be filled with battery fluid (acid) and charged
before they are put into service. Follow the instructions
which apply to the battery in your lawn tractor.
ActivatingAndChargingTheBattery
(Type "B" Battery Only)
Do not activate battery (fill with battery acid) until
battery is actually placed in service. Be certain to read
previous battery warnings before activating the battery.
• Pivot the seat pivot bracket forward. Unhook the
strap which secures the battery (hook is on rear
frame, under fender). Disconnect the positive cable
from the positive terminal. Save the hardware for
reassembly.
• Remove the battery from the lawn tractor, paying
attention to how the battery is placed inthe unit,
and how the drain tube (attached to the battery) is
routed.
• Activate the battery as instructed in the "Quick
Start" brochure included with the battery fluid. Read
instructions carefully.
NOTE: You can continue assembling the lawn tractor
while battery is standing for 30 minutes (after filling with
acid), and later while you are charging the battery.
IMPORTANT: To obtain the maximum life from your
battery, it MUST BE CHARGED prior to initial use.
