The remote jump terminals, installed on the
right-hand side of the engine, provide an easy
method of boosting the tractor battery without having
to remove the battery cover.
The positive terminal (1), is attached to the starter
solenoid, and is encased in a plastic housing.
The negative terminal (2) attaches to the upper
mounting bolt of the starter.
Connect one end of red jump lead, to the positive,
(+), remote jump terminal, (1), and the other end to
the positive, (+), terminal of the auxiliary battery.
Connect one end of black jump lead, to the negative,
(- -), remote jump terminal,(2), and the other end to
negative, (- -), terminal of auxiliary battery.
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.
