TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK
BATTERY
Ar_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.

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:

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.
