Jump Starting
Never jump start a damaged or frozen battery. Be certain the vehicles do
not touch, and ignitions are off. Do not allow cable clamps to touch.
1.
Connect positive (+) cable to positive (+)post of your tractor's discharged
battery.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the positive (+) post of the jumper
battery.
3.
Connect the second cable negative (–) to the other post of the jumper battery.
4.
Make the final connection on the engine block of the tractor, away from the
battery. Attach to an unpainted part to assure a good connection.
If the jumper battery is installed on a vehicle (i.e. car, truck), do NOT start
the vehicle's engine when jump starting your tractor.
5.
Start the tractor (as instructed in the Operation section of this manual).
6.
Remove the jumper cables in reverse order of connection.
Charging
Batteries give off an explosive gas while charging. Charge the battery in a
well ventilated area and keep away from an open flame or pilot light as on a
water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
When charging your tractor's battery, use only a charger designed for 12V lead-
acid batteries. Read your battery charger's Owner's Manual prior to charging
your tractor's battery. Always follow its instructions and heed its warnings.
If your tractor has not been put into use for an extended period of time, charge the
battery as follows:
1.
Set your battery charger to deliver a max of 10 amperes.
2.
If your battery charger is automatic, charge the battery until the charger
indicates that charging is complete. If the charger is not automatic, charge
for no fewer than eight hours.
Fuse
Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
A 20 AMP fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to protect the tractor's
electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor's engine will not crank,
check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It is located under the seat,
attached to the POSITIVE (Red) wire leading to the battery.
Always use a replacement fuse with the same amperage capacity as the
blown fuse.
