STARTING THE TRACTOR WITH JUMPER
CABLES
If it is necessary to use jumper cables to start the
tractor, proceed as follows:
WARNING
Operate the starting motor only from the
operator’s seat.
Wear eye protection when charging the battery
or starting the tractor engine with an auxiliary
battery.
1. Connect one end of one jumper cable (red) to the
tractor starter positive (+) post, 1, and the other
end (red) to the auxiliary battery positive (+)
terminal, 2.
2. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
(black) to the auxiliary battery negative (-)
terminal, 3, and the other end (black) to the
tractor frame ground post, 4. Follow the starting
procedure previously described.
3. When the engine starts, allow it to run at idle
speed, turn on all electrical equipment (lights,
etc.) This will help protect the alternator from
damage due to extreme load changes.
4. Disconnect the jumper leads in reverse order to
the connecting procedure.
NOTE: When using an auxiliary battery to start the
engine, make sure the polarity is correct. Reversed
battery polarity may damage the electrical system.
