Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
DANGER!
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the
battery or batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during
charging which, when mixed with air, can form an
explosive gas. This gas is easily ignited and highly vol-
atile.
DANGER!
Never interchange the positive and negative poles on
the batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
DANGER!
Battery electrolyte is a corrosive acid and should be
handled with care. If you spill or splash electrolyte on
any part of the body, immediately flush the exposed
area with liberal amounts of water and seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
1.
Check that the auxiliary battery has the same
voltage as the engine system voltage.
2.
Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+) ter-
minal on the discharged battery and then to the
plus terminal on the auxiliary battery.
3.
Connect the black start cable to the negative (–)
terminal on the auxiliary battery and to a place a
little distance away from the discharged battery
(e.g. the starter motor's negative terminal).
DANGER!
The black jumper cable (–) must never come in
contact with the positive connection on the starter
motor. Risk of arcing and explosion.
4.
Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for
approximately 10 minutes to charge the batteries.
Make sure there is no extra equipment connected
to the electrical system.
