Servicing Battery
Use a John Deere battery or an equivalent with a rating of at least 750 cold cranking amps at -18°C (0°F). Proper battery maintenance is vital to dependable service. In conventional or New Dimension battery, keep water level even with bottom of cell filler neck and never below the top of cell plates. Do not add water in freezing weather unless engine is run 2 or 3 hours to mix electrolyte. Keep battery clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove any corrosion, and wash terminals with solution of baking soda and water. Attach cables and coat connections with petroleum jelly. Keep battery fully charged, especially during cold weather. IMPORTANT: BATTERY IS NEGATIVE GROUNDED. Always connect starter cable to positive (+) terminal of battery and battery ground cable to negative (-) terminal of battery. Reversed polarity in battery or alternator can result in permanent damage to electrical system. WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. |
