posts (B) on the batteries. Tighten the terminal clamps.
Place the plastic covers over the clamps.
IMPORTANT:
The batteries are negative-grounded. Ensure that the
starter cable is connected to the positive (+) terminal of the
battery and the battery ground cable is connected to the
negative (–) terminal of the battery. Connecting a cable to
the wrong post can result in permanent damage to the
electrical system.
NOTE:
Ensure that the batteries are oriented in the battery tray so
that the positive (+) posts are on the right when
facing them.

Auxiliary Power Posts

The auxiliary power posts are a convenient way to connect remote auxiliary fuel pumps for in-field filling of the windrower
fuel tank or maintaining a battery charge.
IMPORTANT:
The auxiliary power posts are NOT meant for continuous duty. Remote fill pump motors have a high gallons per
minute (GPM) rate, and most models can fill the windrower fuel tank within 10–15 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
The auxiliary power posts are NOT to be used as battery boost posts. Boosting a battery from these posts can result in
blowing the auxiliary power post's positive terminal fuse.
