TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BATTERY(See Fig. 23)

CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries generate

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 "BATTERY" in the Customer Responsibili-

ties 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

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 battery, 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.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

• BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully

charged battery.

• RED cable last from both batteries.

tal grounding.
