34). The needle should move towards the + (charging) mark
indicating the battery is being charged as you operate the trac-
tor. The headlights will not show a discharge on the ammeter
because they are not connected to the battery (they have their'
own electrical source, see page 26). If you have a lift motor
connected it will show a discharge when being operated.
