Urgent.. Battery connection

[movan]

Help. mitzimad jockaneezer

Where is battery connection to Burstner t680 please. Battery is under carpet and metal box but there was a link for quick connection in engine... I`m sure and I cannot find it.

These are all I can find but apparently they are earth links.

Hello joy , the threaded bolt on the top of the photo is the Earth connection ,the positive is under that red box .

[movan]

Thank you both ... Just so I don't say it wrong.. so should the farmer connect the jump lead to the metal bit under the lid of the red box..

HHugs to you both.

Once running keep it running for at least 20 mins ,better still go for a half hour drive or longer

I hope you get it started

[Terry]

Just connect it to a bolt on engine or that earth strap in first pic

Clip the red lead to the metal under the red plastic and the black lead to threaded bolt in your picture above.

Joy the farmer may have to leave leads on for five mins before trying to start

 

[Terry]

???? Well have you got it running ?

 

[movan]

No. . Farmer's son had to go out before the replies came through. He is hoping to do it tomorrow.

I am guessing even if he does get it running with a jump start I am going to need new starter battery.

It might just be flat . When did you last start it?

from your other thread, 12.2v is about 50% discharged, so it should take a charge ok. Not guaranteed though

Went today and it dropped right down to 11.2 and couldn't start the engine.

Annoyed at myself for tempting fate, as always raving on how the Battery Master never lets me down no matter how long between start ups.

I'm going back tomorrow with a farmer with a jump lead.... no cheeky remarks please!!!

Not that long back. Long day. . Will update you lovely, helpful prople then and ask more questions.... Confusion reigns.

Sorry for being dense.
