BATTERY PREPARATION
HYDRO-STATIC TRANSMISSION
The 12 volt battery is shipped wet and charged. Connect the battery leads according to the following
steps to ensure that power is provided to the engines electric starter.
The Hydro-Static Transmission is factory filled with fluid having a viscosity equivalent to SAE 20 W
20.
Do not overfill the expansion tank. Notice that the full level line is near the
bottom of the expansion tank. Over filling will result in rupturing the seals
on the hydromatic transmission and subsequent mechanical damage.
When tightening the positive (+) battery cable end, do not contact the nega-
tive (-) battery terminal with the wrench or other metallic objects. This could
cause an electrical short and electrical sparking or an explosion of the battery.
Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this will short circuit
the battery charging system causing the fuse on the engine to become dam-
aged, and also possibly resulting in an explosion of the battery.
