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.

CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gas. Keep sparks and flame away from batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is strong enough to eat holes in clothing and cause blindness. Improper servicing of batteries can result in serious injury to you or others. DO NOT attempt to service batteries unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Have it done by your John Deere dealer or other qualified dealers.

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.

Keep batteries clean by wiping them with a damp cloth. Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove any corrosion, and wash terminals with solution of baking soda and water. Coat with grease before attaching cable.

Keep batteries fully charged, especially during cold weather.

Use John Deere batteries or equivalent with a rating of at least 925 cold cranking amps at -18.8 °C (0 °F).
