instructions to prevent the
screwdriver from shorting against
the frame.
IMPORTANT: Never jump your tractor’s
dead battery with the battery of a running ve-
hicle.
• Connect end of one jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the good battery, then
the other end to the positive terminal of the
dead battery.
• Connect the other jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the good battery, then
to the frame of the unit with the dead
battery.
WARNING: Failure to use this
procedure could cause sparking,
and the gas in either battery could
explode.
Cleaning the battery:
Keep the terminals and the top of the battery
clean and free from corrosion. Clean the bat-
tery with baking soda or a commercial
battery cleaner. If necessary, scrape the bat-
tery terminals with a wire brush to remove
deposits. Coat terminals and exposed wiring
with grease or petroleum jelly to prevent cor-
rosion.
CAUTION: Do not allow any cleaning solu-
tion to get inside the battery.
Battery Failures
Some common causes for battery failure are:
• incorrect initial activation
• undercharging
• overcharging
• corroded connections
• freezing
These failures are NOT covered by your
tractor’s warranty.
TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is ap-
proximately 10 p.s.i. Maximum tire pressure
under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal
tire pressure should be maintained on all
tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain
rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate both
the tire and rim generously. Never inflate to
over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.

(over 30 p.s.i.) when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to
burst with force sufficient to cause
serious injury.
