DANGER
• Battery – Poison! Contains acid! Causes severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidotes:
– External: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.

oil. Call a physician immediately.

WARNING
• Do not jump start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.
The battery in the Husqvarna gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent watering
(Figure 24).
Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking soda and
water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this solution to enter
battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 144 in-lb (16 N·m)). Let the terminals dry
and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03). See preceding WARNING
and following WARNING.
WARNING
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure to
do so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in fire, property damage, or
personal injury.

Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 144 in-Ib (16 N·m). A loose battery clamp may allow the
battery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged any
longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
