Auxiliary Battery Connections
Engine can start with transmission in gear when neutral or safety
start switch is by-passed:
1. Do not connect across terminals on starter.
2. Attach a booster battery by connecting the positive terminal of
the booster battery to the "positive terminal" provided or to the
positive terminal of the machine battery. Connect the negative
terminal of the booster battery to the "negative terminal"
provided or to the chassis of the machine.
Then use recommended starting procedures from operators
seat.
3. When necessary repair electrical system components promptly
so that "jump starting" will not be attempted.
Machine run-away can cause injury or death to operator and
bystanders.
When connecting an auxiliary battery or charger to the tractor battery,
make sure you connect positive-to-positive and negative on the auxiliary
battery to the tractor side rail as a ground.
Do not connect auxiliary battery cables across the terminals of the starter.
Start the engine from the operator's seat.
IMPORTANT: This is the only safe method to start the tractor engine with
an external power supply. Any other method of starting can cause injury or
death to the operator or other persons.
Connect the positive (+) cable clamp
of the auxiliary battery to the positive
cable terminal of the tractor battery.
Connect the negative (-) cable
clamp of the auxiliary battery to the
tractor side rail as a ground.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the negative cable last and disconnect
the negative cable first so you do not cause a spark at the battery. A spark
can cause a battery explosion and cause injury.
