2. Open the battery plugs to avoid risk of explosion.
3. Connect the (+) terminal of the auxiliary battery to the (+) terminal on the
tractor battery.
4. Connect the other jump lead from the (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery to
the attaching bolt of the battery ground wire or some other convenient ground
(not to the battery terminal).
5. Start the engine.
6. When the engine has started, disconnect the jump leads in the following order:
• Disconnect the jump lead between the ground and the (-) terminal of the
auxiliary battery.
• Remove the jump lead between the (+) terminals.
