8.3.4 STARTING ENGINE WITH BOOSTER CABLE
Start the engine with booster cable as described below.
CAUTIONS IN CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING BOOSTER CABLE
• Never connect the (+) terminal and ( − ) terminal to
each other when connecting the cables.
• Wear goggles and rubber gloves when starting the
engine with the booster cable.
• Do not let the normal machine and machine in
failure come into contact with each other.
As the battery produces hydrogen gas, sparks
around the battery can cause an explosion.
Do not make mistakes in connecting the booster
cable. Also, sparks will occur at the last connection
(connection to the upper swivel frame), so connect
it as far as possible from the battery. (However,
avoid work equipment as it does not conduct well).
• When removing the booster cable, make sure that
clips of the booster cable do not touch each other,
or come into contact with the machine.
CAUTION
• Use a booster cable and clips of appropriate size for the battery size.
• The battery in the working machine and the failed machine should be of the same capacity.
• Check that the cable and clips have no breakage or corrosion.
• Connect the clips securely.
• Check to ensure that lock levers are in the LOCK position for both machines.
• Verify that each lever is at the neutral position.
CONNECTING BOOSTER CABLE
Place the starter switch in the OFF position for both the
working machine and the failed machine and connect the
booster cables in the order shown in the figure below.
1. Connect a clip of the booster cable (A) to the (+)
terminal of the failed machine’s battery (C).
2. Connect the other clip of the booster cable (A) to the
(+) terminal of the working machine’s battery (D).
3. Connect a clip of the booster cable (B) to the ( − )
terminal of the working machine’s battery (D).
4. Connect the other clip of the booster cable (B) to the
revolving super structure frame (E) of the failed
machine.
