Troubleshooting & Repair
doth over the open vent wells of each
battery. These two actions help reduce
the explosion hazard always present in
either battery when connecting a "live"
battery to a "dead" battery.
3. Attach one end of one jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the booster
battery (identified by a red color, "+" or
"P" on the battery case, post or clamp)
and the other end of same cable to
positive terminal of discharged battery.
DO NOT permit vehicles to touch each
other, as this could establish a ground
connection.
4. Attach one end of the remaining cable
to the negative terminal (black color, "-
" or "N") of the booster battery, and the
other end to a bare metal surface on the
frame of your tractor AWAY FROM
the battery compartment (do not con¬
nect directly to negative post of dead
battery). Take care that clamps from
one cable do not inadvertently touch
the clamps on the other cable. Do not
lean over the battery when making this
connection.
5. The tractor with the deadhattery should
now start.
Reverse the jump starting procedure exactly
to remove the jumper cablfeSi Then reinstall
the vent caps and throw the cloths away as
they may have corrosive acid on them.
WARNING
Any procedure other than the above
could result in: (1) personal injury
caused by electrolyte squirting outthe
battery vents, (2) personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex¬
plosion, (3) damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or of the
immobilized vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle
having a frozen battery because the
battery may rupture or explode. If a
frozen battery is suspected^, examine
all fill vents on the battery. If ice can
be seen or if the electrolyte fluid
cannot be seen^ do not attempt to start
with jumper cables as long: as the
battery remains frozen.
