1. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
• Inspect or handle the battery with the engine shut down
and the starter key in the OFF position.
• Keep metallic items such as tools away from the battery
terminals.
• Loose terminals can cause sparks leading to an
explosion. Secure the terminals tightly.
■
Jump-starting the engine
• Wear safety goggles when jump-starting the machine.
• When starting from another machine, do not allow the
two machines to make contact with each other.
• When connecting the battery cables, start with the
positive terminal. For disconnection, start with the
negative one.
• Do not allow a tool to bridge and make a connection
between the positive terminal and machine body. This
can generate dangerous sparks.
• Do not connect the booster cable to wrong terminal. NEVER connect the positive terminal
to the negative.
• Final connection to the engine block of the disabled machine can cause sparks. The
connecting point should be as far as possible from the battery.
1.9 Towing
• To tow the machine, use cables with ample strength.
• Do not perform towing on a slope.
• Do not use twisted, kinked or damaged cables when towing.
• Keep everyone away from the space between the machine and the towing vehicle when
connecting the two.
• Align the connection points of the disabled machine and the towing vehicle in a straight
line when connecting the machines.
