REMOVAL AND RE--INSTALLATION
(Op. 55 301 40)
REMOVAL
105 Ah and 120 Ah batteries fitted in front of the
radiator (Figures 1 and 2)
1. Lift the engine hood.
2. Disconnect earth cable (ground) from tractor
structure and position it safely, away from the
structure itself.
3. Slacken the bolts on both terminal clamps and
disconnect the positive and negative battery
cables. Make sure they do not touch the battery
itself.
4. Lift the battery from the tractor by the two
handles at each end of the battery.
RE--INSTALLATION
Applicable to all types of battery
1. To re--install the battery, reverse the removal
procedure, with the following precautions:
• Check that the battery is clean, there are no
signs of electrolyte leak and the breather covers
are completely installed. Coat the terminals and
clamps with a petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline).
Do not use traditional lubricants as they can lead
to electrolytic corrosion.
• Check the battery compartment or support. The
clamps should be clean and there should be no
stones or other small objects, which could pierce
the battery casing.
• Check that terminal polarity is correct. Check
terminal clamp connections are not too tight.
• If a radio is installed, it will lose all saved data and
will need to be reprogrammed. Electronic panels
and microprocessors, for those models to which
they are fitted, will not lose their memory
function.
