IMPORTANT
When connecting the battery, do
not reverse the polarities. Con-
nection with reverse polarities
causes troubles to the battery
and electrical system in the trac-
tor.
When disconnecting the cord
from the battery, start with the
negative terminal first, when con-
necting start with the positive
terminal first.
Reversing the steps may cause
short-circuiting, should a metal-
lic tool touch the terminals.
If the tractor is to be operated for
a short time without battery (us-
ing a slave battery for starting),
do not, under any circumstances,
interrupt the circuit by switching
off the key switch before stop-
ping the engine by means of fuel
pump shut off cable. Use addi-
tional current (lights) while en-
gine is running. Insulate termi-
nal of battery cable before start-
ing by means of slave battery. If
this advice is disregarded, dam-
age to alternator and regulator
may result.
DIRECTION FOR STORAGE
1. When shutting down the tractor for
long period of time, remove the bat-
tery from the tractor, adjust the elec-
trolyte 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.
The tractor has been shipped
with dry-type battery. Your dealer
will fill electrolyte and charge for
use for the first time.
