13.13 JUMP-STARTING
CAUTION: Starting the vehicle using a starting aid with too high a
voltage can damage the electrical components.
– Never jump-start the engine with a fast charger.
– Never jump-start the vehicle with a voltage higher than 29 V.
CAUTION:
– Do not disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running.
Disconnecting the battery cables while the engine is running can
damage the electrical components.
Battery systems
The vehicle is equipped with a regular battery system with a set of two 12 Volt batteries.
The engine may be started with the aid of starter cables that use power from:
– separate auxiliary batteries (approximately 24 V), or
– another vehicle with a running engine (approximately 29 V).
When this starting procedure is followed, the battery cables must not be
disconnected.
The battery box can be placed in various positions: beside the chassis or on the chassis
behind the cabin or between the side members at the rear of the chassis.
On some of these positions extra terminals are fitted to facilitate connecting the starter
cables.
