BATTERY (See Fig. 26)
CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries gener-
ate explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flame and smoking materials away
from batteries. Always wear eye pro-
tection when around batteries.
If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the CUSTOMER RE-

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 NEGA-
TIVE (-) 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.
