2.7.3 Starting the tractor with jump start cables
IMPORTANT:
• Do not attempt to boost a damaged battery.
• Do not touch the connectors on the jump start cables.
• Do not allow your body to touch the vehicle (chassis frame) when making the connections.
• Do not use a damaged battery or a damaged booster.
• Only use a battery or a booster with a similar voltage.
• To avoid accidental hazards when working near the battery, remove all jewellery or metal accessories,
such as rings or bracelets.
• Do not disconnect the damaged battery — this can damage the vehicle's electrical system.
Procedure
1.
The ignition key must be in the OFF position.
ATTENTION:
The tractor engine must not start up or move accidentally.
2.
Connect the clamp of the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery.
3.
Connect the other clamp of the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the battery in good condition
or to the positive terminal (+) of a recovery vehicle.
4.
Connect the clamp of the black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the battery in good condition.
5.
Finally, connect the other black clamp to any part of the engine block or chassis frame (metal part).
ATTENTION:
To avoid the risk of a spark and potential explosion due to hydrogen from the battery, never make
this final connection to the negative terminal (-) of the damaged battery.
6.
Leave the flat battery to recharge for a few minutes, or even longer if possible, before attempting to
start.
7.
Start the engine of the vehicle. Once started, leave the engine running for a few minutes.
8.
Without turning off the engine you have helped to start, disconnect the jump start cables from the
battery or the booster in reverse order.
ATTENTION:
At the end of the operation, make sure that the red and black cables do not touch each
other when they are still connected to a battery.
IMPORTANT:
Corroded battery terminals may interfere with, or even prevent the tractor from
starting.
