Transmission Oil Expansion Reservoir
The transmission oil expansion reservoir is connected by hoses
to the RH and LH transmission assemblies, and is located behind
the seat box. The function of the reservoir is to hold the natural
expansion of transmission oil that occurs as the transmission
warms up during operation. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR.
Under normal operating conditions, no oil should be added
to the reservoir. The COLD oil level should be no higher than
approximately 1⁄4" (the "Full Cold" mark) above the bottom of the
reservoir. See Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the tractor, the
oil level in the reservoir may be slightly higher than the
maximum due to air in the oil lines. Operation of the tractor
will eventually purge the air from the lines and the oil level
will settle to the maximum.
Connecting the Battery Cables
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION:
When attaching battery cables, always
connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first,
followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment
may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the
factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The
negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip
ahead to step 2.
1. Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive battery
terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery
terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8
2. Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative
battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative
battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-8.
3. Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery
terminal to help protect it from corrosion.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown
on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in
the Maintenance section your Operator's Manual prior to
operating the tractor.
