parts when removing or installing the battery.

Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal tractor parts.

WARNING: Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the tractor and battery cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury. Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable.

Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting, corroded or dirty terminals; loose connections, defective wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or open circuit.

The electrical system is protected by fuses located on the right fuel tank instrument panel. Fig. 9-3 The fuses are as follows:

Main - 20 amp, blade-type

Clutch/Aux - 10 amp, blade-type

Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electrical system, use a test light or voltmeter to check the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the cleanliness and tightness of the terminals and ground connections. A general understanding of electrical servicing and use of basic test equipment is necessary for troubleshooting and repair.

Major overhaul or repair of the starting motor or charging system should be performed by trained technicians only.

Access to integrated pump/motor units

The integrated pump/motor units are accessed by lifting the seat platform. The seat platform is hinged at the front. To raise it, remove the two cap screws and tilt seat platform up and forward. (Fig. 9-4)

If the seat is equipped with the optional arm rest kit, make certain to place the control arms in the park brake position and pivot the arm rests upward before placing the seat platform in the full forward position to prevent damage to the arm rests.
