ý 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 25).
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 12 ft-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 CAUTION.
ý 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 12 ft-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).
