Clean the Battery Connections

The battery connections must be cleaned and tightened
to maintain proper operation of the electrical system
of the tractor .

Remove the three battery ground cable connections,
() first, and then the three positive cable connections,
(2) before cleaning . Each connection has a rubber
boot covering it for protection . The connections are
loosened by turning the nut counterclockwise and
pulling the connection from the battery mounting
stud .

Clean the battery stud, battery cable and mounting
nut thoroughly with a brush and reinstall the cables .
Attach the positive cables first and the ground cables
last .

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING THE BATTERIES,
