Dangers When Handling Batteries

CAUTION: Any plastic bag or material must be removed from batteries to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.

IMPORTANT: Always keep batteries clean and free from chaff.

Keep all sparks or open flames away from batteries as gas from electrolyte is highly flammable.

When servicing the electrical system or engine, always disconnect battery ground cables.

If a battery needs a quick recharge while still installed on combine, always disconnect battery ground cable and remove battery cell filler caps before connecting the charger. This will prevent damage to the electrical system.

When removing batteries, always disconnect the ground cables first and then the positive cables.
