OPERATION
WARNING: Do not use ether with the
thermostat starting aid.
NOTE: A coolant immersion heater which provides
for easier starting in temperatures below O°F
(-17.7°C) by warming the engine oil and coolant is
available as a dealer installed option.
STARTING THE TRACTOR WITH JUMPER
CABLES
WARNING: Start engine only from
operator’s seat. If safety start
switches are bypassed, engine can start
with transmission and/or P.T.O. in gear.
If it is necessary to use jumper cables to start the
tractor, follow the instructions below.
1 Shield eyes.
2. Connect one end of the jumper cable to the
tractor battery positive (+) terminal and the
other to the auxiliary battery positive (+)
terminal. Connect one end of the other cable
first to the auxiliary battery negative (-)
terminal, and the other end to the tractor
starter ground terminal. Follow the starting
procedures indicated previously above.
Idle the engine and turn on all electrical
equipment (lights, etc.), then disconnect the
cables in reverse order of the connecting
procedure above. This will help protect the
alternator from damage due to extreme load
changes.
WARNING: Batteries contain sulphuric
acid and produce explosive gases.
Follow the instructions below to prevent
personal injury.
• Wear eye and skin protection.
• Keep sparks and flame away.
• Always have adequate ventilation while
charging or using the battery.
• Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions
which are shown on the battery.
STOPPING THE ENGINE

switch, Figure 20 to the “OFF” position to stop the
engine
IMPORTANT: Failure to turn the key switch to the
“OFF” position when engine has stopped will allow
the warning lights to remain on, causing the battery
to discharge.
