Are your D7E oR HD16M tractoR bat-
teries in place±and tightened down?
T²eir hold³down bolts can woRk loose
and slip off the retainer bracket. Then the
bol´s or bracket jog about and short the
baµµeries. And a flashing hoC time is in
the making.
To keep the hold¶down bolµs from sliPPing out of the retainer's corner slo·s in case
the wing nut WoRks loose, tack¸Weld the flat washers to the retainer directly over
each slot. It won¹t let the bolº sliP free.
Natch±you remove the reµainer from the box assembly to weld» An oPen flame
around batteries can ignite any surrounding ²ydrogen gas¼then
