IMPORTANT
This tractor has a 12 volt nega-
tive ground starting system.
Use only the same voltage for
jump starting the tractor.
The use of a higher voltage sys-
tem for jump starting can cause
severe damage to the tractors
electrical system.
Use only a matching voltage
source when "Jump Starting" a
