To keep batteries in good working condition, follow this maintenance program on a regular basis. Proper battery maintenance is critical not only for good performance, but also for safe operation.

• Ensure battery connections are clean and properly tightened.

• Use only 4-gauge (AWG) wires with low-resistance terminals to replace battery wires on IQ Plus models.

• 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 a fire, property damage, or personal injury.

1. Batteries should be kept clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup baking soda (237 mL) per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off batteries. Do not allow this solution to enter the battery. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CC P/N 1014305).

NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.

2. The electrolyte level in the batteries should be checked weekly (Figure 25). Add water only after charging unless the electrolyte level is below the top of the plates. In this case, add just enough water to cover the plates, charge and then check the level again. Never charge batteries if plates are exposed above electrolyte level. For best battery life, use only distilled water.

Turn the key switch to the OFF position, then remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the neutral POSITION. Chock the front wheels.

Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).

Position a pan designed for oil changes under the front drain plug.

Use a 14 mm socket or wrench to remove the drain plug, turning it counterclockwise, and allow the engine oil to drain into the pan.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change engine oil when the engine is hot or even warm. Engine oil can cause skin burns. Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear rubber gloves when handling oil drain plug, oil filter, and oil drain pan.

Clean the oil drain plug threads with solvent to remove oil and oil residue. Make sure that the compression washer remains on the drain plug.

Use a 14 mm socket or wrench and replace the front oil drain plug, turning it clockwise, and tighten to 18 ft-lb (24.4 N·m).

Relocate the oil drain pan to a position under the engine oil filter.
