TO START ENGINE WITH AWEAK 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.
