WARNING
DO NOT over fill battery with electrolyte. Shield the
positive terminal with terminal cover located on
battery harness. This prevents metal from touching
the positive terminal which could cause sparks. The
electrolyte (acid) produces a highly explosive gas.
Keep all sparks, flame and fire away from area when
charging battery or when handling electrolyte or
battery. Electrolyte (acid) is a highly corrosive liquid.
Wear eye protection. Wash affected areas immediately
after having eye or skin contact with electrolyte (acid).
Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse empty acid containers
with water and mutilate before discarding. If acid is
spilled on battery, bench, or clothing, etc., Flush with
clear water and neutralize with baking soda. DO NOT
attempt to charge battery while installed on the walk
behind. DO NOT use “BOOST” chargers on the
battery.

dangerous, corrosive and poisonous liquid. Follow very
carefully, all instructions and warnings provided with the
kit.

kit to charge battery.
1. Remove battery from carton.
2. Place battery in a well ventilated area on a level non-
concrete surface.
3. Remove sealing tape from top of battery, exposing
cells.
4. Prepare electrolyte and fill cells, following instructions
provided with the electrolyte.
5. Install strip of battery plugs making sure that each
plug is fully seated and each cell is sealed.
6. Slow charge battery for a minimum of 18 hours using
charger provided with kit, being careful to observe
correct charger and battery polarity.
7. Loosen bolts that secure battery bracket to deck.
