Checking the Oil Level
The tractor comes from the factory with oil in the engine

Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid that is
poisonous (if consumed) and can severely burn
you.
• Do not drink electrolyte.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and
rubber gloves to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is available
for flushing the skin.
• Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
3. Slowly pour electrolyte into each cell until the level is
up to the lower part of the tube.
4. Leave the filler caps off and connect a 3- to 4-amp
battery charger to the battery posts.
5. Charge the battery at a rate of 2 amperes or less for
4 hours (12 volts). Do not overcharge the battery.
Install the filler caps after the battery is fully charged.
