PROBLEM

Show/hide table

On certain D8T Track-Type Tractors the 340-9357 Battery Cable Assembly to the jump start receptacle is restrained by tie strap at critical juncture in battery box. If tie strap breaks loose or is left off, the angle of the cable may allow it to fall onto quick disconnect switch, resulting in shorting of electrical system.
