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.

•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.

•Block up axle securely.

•Remove axle cover, retaining ring and washers to allow wheel removal (rear wheel contains a square key - Do not lose).

•Repair tire and reassemble.

•On rear wheels only: align grooves in rear wheel hub and axle. Insert square key.

•Replace washers and snap retaining ring securely in axle groove.

•Replace axle cover.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot
