REPLACING BATTERY (See Fig. 33)

WARNING: Do not short battery terminals by allowing a wrench or any other object to contact both terminals at the same time. Before connecting battery, remove metal bracelets, wristwatch bands, rings, etc.

Positive terminal must be connected first to prevent spark- ing from accidental grounding.

Lift hood to raised position.

Disconnect BLACK battery cable (A) then RED battery cable and carefully remove battery from tractor.

Install new battery with terminals in same position as old battery.

First connect RED battery cable (B) to positive (+) battery terminal with hex bolt and keps nut as shown. Tighten securely. Slide terminal cover (C) over terminal.

Connect BLACK grounding cable to negative (-) battery terminal with remaining hex bolt and keps nut. Tighten securely

Close hood.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the MAINTENANCE sec- tion of this manual).

If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure:

IMPORTANT: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12 VOLT SYSTEM. THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12 VOLT SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR BATTERY TO START OTHER VEHICLES.

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE

 

(+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to

 

short against tractor chassis.

Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE

 

(-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

Positive B (Red) Cable

ANegative (Black) Cable

• Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (D) to good

chassis ground, away from fuel tank and battery.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

RED cable last from both batteries.
