TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BATTERY

ACAUTION: Lead-acid batteries gener- ate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batter-

ies. 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 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 negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12 volt

negative grounded system. Do not use your tractor battery to start other vehicles.

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

•Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of each bat-

tery, taking care not to short against chassis.

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

•Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to good CHASSIS GROUND, away from fuel tank and battery.
