A - Positive Terminal

B - Ground


CAUTION: Gas given off by batteries is explosive. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Make last connection and first disconnection at point away from booster batteries.

CAUTION: Avoid possible injury or death from machinery runaway.

Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Machine will start in gear if normal circuitry is bypassed.

NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Start engine only from operator’s sear, with transmission in neutral or park.

IMPORTANT: Be sure polarity is correct before making connections. Reversed polarity will damage electrical system or possibly cause battery to explode.

If two or more booster batteries are used, they must be connected in parallel ensuring booster batteries are producing 12 volt charge.

Final Tier 4 and Stage IV Engines only: To determine tractor engine type, see Record Engine Serial Number in Identification Numbers section of this Operator's Manual. Do not disconnect battery until Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system has had enough time to automatically purge system of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) . If adequate time is not allowed for system to be purged, any DEF remaining can crystallize and plug system. At temperatures below -15°C (5°F), unpurged DEF will freeze and damage system components. If equipped with a battery disconnect system, a light next to disconnect system is illuminated while auto-purge is in progress. It shuts off when complete and safe to disconnect the battery.

If tractor is not equipped with battery disconnect switch, wait at least 4 minutes after tractor stops before disconnecting battery.


Booster Battery

  1. Remove cap and attach red cable to remote positive terminal (A) of starter and positive terminal of booster battery.

  2. Attach black cable to negative terminal of booster battery. Attach other end to ground (B).

  3. Remove ground cable first when disconnecting.


Battery Charger

IMPORTANT: Set battery charger at nominal 12 volt and no more than 16 volt maximum.

  1. Remove cap and attach positive charger lead to positive remote terminal with charger in OFF position. Attach negative charger lead to ground at tractor frame, away from batteries.

  2. Switch charger to ON and charge battery according to charger manufacturers instructions.

  3. Switch charger to OFF. Remove negative charger lead first, then positive lead.
