STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES
Batteries emit flammable fumes that are explosive,
resulting in injury. Prevent sparks near batteries. They
could cause vapors to explode.
Do not allow the jumper start cables to contact each
other or the applicator.
Always wear eye protection when starting with jumper
cables.
Improper jump start procedures can cause an
explosion resulting in personal injury.
Always connect the battery positive (+) to battery
positive (+) and the battery negative (-) to the battery
negative (-).
Only jump start with an energy source the same
voltage as the stalled applicator.
Turn OFF all lights and accessories on the stalled
applicator. Otherwise, they will operate when the
energy source is connected.
When starting from another machine, make sure the
two machines do not touch. This will prevent possible
damage to engine bearings and electrical circuits.
The XA1200 uses a 12 volt starting system. Use the same voltage for jump starting.
1. Turn the ignition switch of the stalled unit to the "OFF" position.
2. Move the power source machine to a location close enough to the stalled unit that the
cables can reach the batteries. Do not allow the machines to touch.
3. Turn off the engine on the power source machine.
4. Connect the red jumper cable to the positive terminal (+) on one battery of the stalled
unit.
5. Connect the other end of that cable to the positive terminal (+) on the power source
machine.
6. Connect the black cable to the negative terminal (-) on the other battery on the stalled
unit.
7. Connect the other end of the black cable to the negative terminal (-) on the other
battery on the power source machine.
