msimucimms
To keep your tractor running better, longer; perform nec­
essary service using the following Maintenance Schedule.
Each time you start your tractor, check your Ammeter (Fig.
34). The needle should move towards the + (charging) mark
indicating the battery is being charged as you operate the trac­
tor. The headtights will not show a discharge on the ammeter
because they are not connected to the battery (they have their
own eiectrical source, see page 26). If you have з lift motor
connected it will show a discharge when being operated.
