Dangers When Handling Batteries

CAUTION: Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level.

Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.

Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last.

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.

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.

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

If a battery needs a quick recharge while still installed on harvester, 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.
