A	CAUTION! If the tractor is to be tipped

BATTERY

Liquid Level

For long battery life and trouble-free operation check the battery at 15-day intervals for water level. If the battery is in need of charging, it should be given immediate attention. Keeping the battery fully charged not only adds to its life but makes it available for instant use when needed.

The electrolyte (acid and water) in each cell should be at the proper level at all times to prevent battery failure. When the electrolyte is below this level, pure, distilled water should be added.

A CAUTION! Acid or electrolyte should never be added except by a skilled battery man. Under no circumstances

add any special battery "dopes", solutions, or powders.

Occasionally remove the battery cables and brighten the terminal contact surfaces with wire wool, and reassemble. Apply a light coat of vaseline or chassis lubricant. Be sure terminals are clamped tightly, the rubber cover is slid over the positive terminal, and that battery is fastened securely in the battery box. Replace defective cable, and keep vent holes in battery filler caps open.

The output of the built in charging circuit in the engine rises from 2 amperes at 2400 RPM to 3 amperes at 3600 RPM and uses less than .2

horsepower.

Connecting Booster Batteries

When required, a booster 12-volt battery may be connected in parallel with the 12-volt system on the tractor.

NOTE: All circuits must be turned "off", Elec- trical System is Negative (-) grounded only, Reversed polarity will result in permanent damage to components of the electrical system.

ACAUT ION! Electrical storage batteries

give off highly inflammable hydrogen gas

when charging and continue to do so for some time after receiving a steady charge. Do not under any circumstances allow an electric spark or an open flame near the battery. Do not lay tools across battery terminals as this may result in a spark or short circuit which may cause an ex- plosion. Be careful to avoid spilling any electrolyte on hands or clothing.
