Ariens Garden Tractors models.

The hour meter is located under the engine hood, on the

record the actual time the engine operates. Keep a record of

hour meter readings in order to perform Maintenance and

Lubrication services at the recommended hourly intervals.

When operating in extremely dusty conditions, check the air

filter daily. A precleaner is available. Consult the Engine

Manual.

BATTERY SERVICE

Check the battery electrolyte level once each month. Add

distilled water to bring the level to the bottom of the split

ring in the filter tube of each cell.

Each spring and fall remove corrosion from the terminals

and apply a light coat of grease, to the terminals. Keep

battery cables securely tightened to terminals and be sure

battery is properly fastened down in battery holder at all

times. Keeping battery clean will prolong battery life.

CAUTION: Storage batteries give off highly in

flammable hydrogen gas. Do not allow sparks or

flame near battery. Do not lay tools across battery

terminals which may cause a spark resuiting in an

expiosion.

Maintain the battery at full charge during storage and

during winter months to prevent freezing. When water is

added during freezing weather, run the engine at least one hour

to thoroughly mix the water and electrolyte.

When installing the battery, make certain that the ground

cable is connected to the negative (—) terminal on the battery,

see Figure 14. Be sure the battery cable is connected to the

positive (+) terminal.

WARNING: Reversed battery cables or reversed

cables from a battery charger or booster battery can

cause damage to the regulator rectifier (Figure 16).

Always disconnect plug from the regulator rectifier

before using a charger, booster battery or when

electric welding is done on the tractor.
