TO START ENGINE WITH AWEAK BATTERY

_CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from

batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the

engine, it should be recharged. (See "BATTERY" 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 negative grounded system. The other vehical must also be a 12 volt negative grounded system. Do not use your tractor battery to start other vehicles.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER-

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

2.RED cable last from both batteries.
