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.
