Boosting The Tractor Battery - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATIONS

BOOSTING THE TRACTOR BATTERY

Your tractor is equipped with remote jump terminals
installed on the right-hand side of the engine.
WARNING
Always sit in the driver's seat to operate the starter
motor. If the key-start switch is by-passed and the
tractor has been left in gear, sudden and unexpected
movement of the tractor or a tractor runaway may
result which could cause serious injury. Wear eye
protection when starting the tractor with jump leads
or when charging the battery.
If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables)
to start the tractor, use only heavy duty leads.
Proceed as follows:
The positive terminal (1), mounts on the starter
1
solenoid, and is encased in an insulated housing.
The negative terminal (2) attaches to the upper
mounting bolt of the starter.
Connect one end of red jump lead, to the positive,
2
(+), remote jump terminal (1), and the other end to
50032874
the positive (+), terminal of the auxiliary battery.
2
Connect one end of black jump lead, to the negative,
(- -), remote jump terminal (2), and the other end to
negative, (- -), terminal of auxiliary battery. Follow the
starting procedure as described later in this Section.
When the engine starts allow it to run at idle speed,
turn on all electrical equipment (lights, etc.) then
disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order to the
connecting procedure. This will help protect the
alternator from possible damage due to extreme load
changes.
