3.7.5.3 STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLES
When starting the engine with a booster cable, do as follows:
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING BOOSTER CABLES
WARNING
• When connecting the cables, never contact the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals.
• When starting the engine with a booster cable, always
wear safety glasses.
• Be careful not to let the normal machine and problem
machine contact each other. This prevents sparks from
generating near the battery which could ignite the hy-
drogen gas given off by the battery. If hydrogen gas ex-
plodes, it could cause serious injury.
• Be careful not to make a mistake when connecting a
booster cable. In the last connection (to the upper struc-
ture frame), a spark will be caused, so connect the cable
to a spot as far away from the battery as possible.
(Avoid the work equipment, however, because it is not a
good conductor)
• When removing the booster cable, exercise good care
so that the booster cable clips may not contact each
other, or they contact the chassis.
IMPORTANT
• The size of the booster cable and clip should be suitable for the battery size.
• The battery of the normal machine must be the same capacity as that of the engine to be started.
• Check the cables and clips for damage or corrosion.
• Make sure that the cables and clips are firmly connected.
• Check that the safety lock levers and parking brake levers of both machines are in the LOCK position.
• Check that each lever is in the NEUTRAL position.
BOOSTER CABLE CONNECTION
Keep the starting switch of the normal machine and problem
machine in the OFF position.
Connect the booster cable as follows, in the order of the num-
bers marked in the diagram.
1.
Connect one clip of booster cable (A) to the positive (+)
terminal of the problem machine.
2.
Connect the other clip of booster cable (A) to the positive
(+) terminal of the normal machine.
3.
Connect one clip of booster cable (B) to the negative (-)
terminal of the normal machine.
4.
Connect the other clip of booster cable (B) to the engine
block of the problem machine.
