• Do not connect the other end of the negative (-)

jumper  cable  to  the  negative  (-)  terminal  of  the
tractor battery.

When  jump  starting  the  engine,  follow  the  instructions
in this section to safely start the engine.

1. Bring the helper vehicle with a battery of the same

voltage as disabled tractor within easy cable reach.

IMPORTANT :

• The vehicles must not touch.

2. Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put

the shift levers in neutral. Shut both engines off.

3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
4. Attach  the  red  clamp  to  the  positive  (red,  (+)  or

pos.)  terminal  of  the  dead  battery  and  clamp  the
other end of the same cable to the positive (red, (+)
or pos.) terminal of the helper battery.

5. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or

neg.) terminal of the helper battery.

6. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of

the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as
possible.

7. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a

few moments. Start the disabled tractor.

8. Disconnect  the  jumper  cables  in  the  exact  reverse

order of attachment (Steps 6, 5 and 4).

(1) Dead battery
(2) Jumper cables

(3) Helper battery

IMPORTANT :

• This  machine  has  a  12  volt  negative  (-)

ground starting system.

• Use only same voltage for jump starting.
• Use  of  a  higher  voltage  source  on  tractor's

electrical  system  could  result  in  severe
damage to tractor's electrical system.

• Use  only  matching  voltage  source  when

“Jump  starting”  a  low  or  dead  battery
condition.

• Do  not  operate  the  tractor  with  the  battery

cable disconnected from the battery.

• Do  not  operate  the  tractor  without  the

battery mounted.

• Do  not  operate  the  tractor  with  the  battery

dead. Charge the battery fully enough before
