Engine Start with a Slave Battery

LX266705-UN-19JAN16

CAUTION: It is permissible to start a tractor with a slave battery only if that tractor is equipped with jump-start connections authorized by John Deere™. If a tractor is not equipped with connections for jump-starting with a slave battery, then the discharged or defective battery must be replaced with a battery that is sufficiently charged. Have this work performed by your John Deere™ dealer.

CAUTION: Danger of injury, danger of explosion! Take safety precautions, see Handling Batteries Safely in Section 05.

CAUTION: Be sure polarity is correct before making connections.

CONNECTING: Connect positive terminal (+) first and then negative terminal (—)! DISCONNECTING: Disconnect the negative terminal (—) first and then the positive terminal (+)! Reversed polarity will damage the electrical system.

IMPORTANT: With battery disconnected, insulate the positive battery cable (+) properly to protect the alternator from damage. See also Important Instructions Regarding Alternator in Section 85.
