TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BAT- TERY

WARNING: Lead-acid batteries gen- erate explosive gases. Keep sparks, ﬂame and smoking materials away from bat- teries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See "BAT- TERY" in the MAINTENANCE section 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 -

1.Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to short against tractor chassis.

2.Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

3.Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (D) to good chassis ground, away from fuel tank and battery.

REPLACING BATTERY

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 sparking from accidental grounding.

1.Lift seat pan to raised position.

2.Disconnect BLACK battery cable ﬁrst then RED battery cable and carefully remove battery from tractor.
