Starting the engine
15
Never use start spray
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar
products as a starting aid. Explosions could oc-
cur in the inlet manifold. The consequence could
be personal injury.
Starting with auxiliary batteries
WARNING!
Batteries (especially auxiliary bat-
teries) contain hydrogen which is highly explo-
sive in contact with air. A spark, which can be
formed if the auxiliary batteries are wrongly
connected, is enough to make a battery explode
and cause damage.
1. Check that the auxiliary batteries are connected
(series or parallel) so that the rated voltage cor-
responds to the engine system voltage.
2. First connect the red (+) jumper cable to the
auxiliary battery, then to the flat battery. Then
connect the black jumper cable (–)
to the auxil-
iary battery, and lastly to a place
some distance
from the flat batteries
, such as the negative
cable by the main switch or the negative cable
connection on the starter motor.
3. Start the engine.
WARNING!
Do not move the connections when
you attempt to start the engine (risk of arcing),
and do not stand and lean over one of the bat-
teries.
4. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order
from installation.
WARNING!
The ordinary cables to the standard
batteries must not be loosened on any condi-
tion.
