In case of assist starting, the vehicles must
not touch each other.

The pole clamps of the individual cables must
never come into contact with one another.

For starting assist you must first connect the
positive cable with the positive pole on the
external battery and then with positive pole
on the discharged battery. Then connect the
negative cable with the negative pole on the
external battery and the end of the negative
cable with a earth contact point on the vehicle.

When coupling the positive terminals and con-
necting the negative terminal of the assisting
battery to the frame of the vehicle, the engine
should be switched off on both vehicles.
¾
When starting from a different source, first
switch on the assisting vehicle and then the
receiving vehicle. It is recommended that the
lighting be switched on for the receiving vehi-
cle to protect the electronics from overvoltage.
¾
After successful starting disconnect the cables
in reverse order.
If the batteries of the 12 Volt vehicle electrical
system are discharged, recharge them by run-
ning the engine after remote starting.
If the battery has been discharged and no work is
due on the machine which necessarily requires
the engine to run, the battery can be charged
with the aid of a battery charger.
CAUTION
Do not charge via jump starting! This may cause
the battery to explode.
NOTE
Battery maintenance must follow the battery
manufacturer’s specifications.
