Warning
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables,
negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals
separately. Reconnect the cables, positive (+) cable first,
and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
Always disconnect the battery cables, ground cable (–)
first, to prevent possible wiring damage from shorts
whenever working with the electrical system.
