Connection of a booster battery to
the positive battery terminal on the
tractor
IMPORTANT: When connecting a booster battery to the
tractor positive terminal, make sure the batteries are the
same voltage (i.e. 12 Volt) and the electrolyte is at the cor-
rect level. DO NOT connect auxiliary battery cables across
the terminals of the starter. Always start the engine from
the operator's seat.
WARNING: Always connect the ground cable
last and disconnect the ground cable first
so you do not cause a spark at the battery.
A spark can cause a battery explosion and
cause injury.
Procedure
OPERATION 1
Position the machine with the booster battery next to the
tractor so that the booster cables can be connected eas-
ily. MAKE SURE THE MACHINES ARE NOT TOUCHING.
OPERATION 2
Remove the red cap from the positive terminal (1).
Connect the booster battery positive (+) to the
tractor positive terminal (+) and the negative (-)
to a good ground on the tractor frame, not to the
tractor battery terminal.
OPERATION 3
Start the engine of the machine with the booster battery
and run the engine for approximately 2 minutes.
OPERATION 4
Start the tractor engine. See correct procedure in this
manual.
OPERATION 5
When the tractor engine has started, disconnect the nega-
tive booster cable from the tractor frame and the booster
battery negative first, then the positive cable from the
tractor terminal and the booster battery.
Install the red cap on the positive terminal after the start-
ing operation has been completed. (The position of the
terminal depends on tractor model)
WARNING: Always use specific personal safety devices
for each operation.
