We bought a battery charger for our tractor, and it's not working.
Everything seems to be connected properly. The electric outlet is OK. Battery terminals are clean. When the charger is connected to electric power, the charger lights flash for a couple of seconds. Then, nothing. The charging light is supposed to come on after 5 seconds, but it doesn't.
The very inadequate Troubleshooting section in the manual merely says "Check electrical outlet. Check electrical connections. Check battery."
Here are photos of the way I connected the charger to the battery and tractor chassis. Does anything look wrong? The instructions are to attach the positive charger clip to the positive battery terminal, and that's what I did.
