The PIPELINER® 200D KUBOTA is equipped with a

ically regulated when the battery is low (after starting
the engine) to a trickle current when the battery is fully
charged.
When replacing, jumping or otherwise connecting the
battery to the battery cables, the proper polarity must
be observed. This system is NEGATIVE GROUND.
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
• Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes
away.
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and
skin.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and
be careful when boosting, charging
or working near battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
a) Installing a new battery - disconnect the nega-
tive cable from the old battery first and con-
nect the negative cable to the new battery last
b) Connecting a battery charger - remove the bat-
tery from the welder by disconnecting the neg-
ative cable first, then the positive cable and
battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect the
negative cable last.
c) Using a booster - connect the positive lead to
the battery first, then connect the negative
lead to the ground lead on the base.
