NOTICE Do not try to start the engine by towing the machine. This will damage the drive
system.
WARNING Use safety goggles and rubber gloves. If any battery acid
gets in your eyes: immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of
water and get medical aid. If any battery acid gets on your
skin: immediately wash your skin with soap and water.
WARNING When there is frost, the electrolyte in a discharged battery can freeze. Do not connect
an auxiliary battery to a frozen battery. The frozen battery can explode.
Use two 12 Volt auxiliary batteries. Use 3 well insulated jumper cables with a wire cross-section of
at least 50 mm
2
. In between the auxiliary batteries and the machine, you need jumper cables with
a length of approximately 15 feet
