1.
When installing the battery, make sure that the
ground polarity of the alternator and the ground
polarity of the battery are the same.
If
a battery of
the wrong polarity
is
installed, or the battery cables
are connected backwards, the battery is shorted
directly through the alternator's diodes. The diodes
and wiring could be damaged by the resulting high
current.
2.
When connecting a booster battery
or
auxiliary
power source, make sure to connect the positive
terminals together and the negative terminal on the
booster source to a good ground (i.e. chassis or
engine block support) away from the discharged
battery. Connect the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery to the ground.
3.
When connecting a charger to the battery, connect
the positive charger lead to the positive battery
terminal and the negative lead to the negative
terminal. Failure to do so will result in alternator
and wiring damage. Never attempt to start the
engine
or
turn the ignition switch "ON" while the
charger is in use.
4. Never short across
or
ground any terminals on the
alternator
or
regulator. Grounding
or
shorting any
of the terminals can cause serious electrical mal-
functions that can damage components in the
electrical system.
5.
Do
not attempt to polarize the alternator. This
procedure
is
not necessary with an alternator.
It
is
important that the battery and the alternator ground
be of the same polarity for diode protection
CAUTION:
NEVER OPERATE THE ALTERNATOR WITH
AMPATURE WIRES DISCONNECTED. WITH
NO ELECTRICAL LOAD
IN
THE CIRCUIT,
(WIRES REMOVED OR DISCONNECTED)
THE ALTERNATOR CAN BUILD UP HIGH
VOLT AGE, WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DAN-
GEROUS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT ACCI-
DENTALLY TOUCH THE BATTERY TERMI-
NALS OR ALTERNATOR. BEFORE MAKING
ANY CHECKS OR TEST, MAKE SURE THAT
ALL CONNECTIONS IN THE CIRCUIT ARE
TIGHT AND SECURE.
LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION
This section will show diagrams indicating certain
points on the tractor that should be lubricated or greased
at the regularintervals indicated in the Lubrication and
Service Guide. These point must not be over-looked
as
doing
so
will casue pre-mature ware on certain parts
of
the tractor.
This section is designed as a quick reference tool to
help you locate grease fittings and other items that
should be maintenanced regularly.
If
you have any
questions concerning where you should lubricate cer-
tain parts of the tractor contact your local Long dealer
for service.
Lubricate the following locations at the time intervals
indicated with a multi-purpose grease.
Be
sure to clean
the grease fittings before and after greasing.
40
After every 60 hours, lubricate the tie rod ends and
steering cylinders ends. There are a total of 4 fittings.
