8. Battery should be charged once each month when
in service.
9. To charge the battery connect the battery positive
terminal to the charger positive terminal and the
negative to the negative, then recharge in the stan-
dard fashion.
10. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It partially
charges the battery at a high rate and in a short
time. When using a boost-charged battery, it is
necessary to recharge the battery as early as pos-
sible after the operation has been finished. Fail-
ure to do this extremely affects the service life due
to over discharge.
IMPORTANT :
• When connecting the battery, do not reverse the
polarities. Connection with reverse polarities causes
troubles to the battery and electrical system in the
tractor.
• When disconnecting the cables from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first, when connect-
ing start with the positive terminal first. Reversing
the steps may cause short-circuiting.
• If the tractor is to be operated for a short time with-
out battery(using a slave battery for starting), do
not, under any circumstances, interrupt the circuit
by switching off the key switch before stopping the
engine by means of fuel pump shut off cable. Use
additional current(lights) while engine is running.
Insulate terminal of battery cable before starting
by means of slave battery. If this advice is disre-
garded, damage to alternator and regulator may
result.
Direction for Storage
1. When shutting down the tractor for long period of
time, remove the battery from the tractor, adjust
the electrolyte to the proper level and store in a
dry place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges even while it is stored,
Recharge it once a month in hot seasons and
once every two months in cold seasons.
