LTV Operation
WARNING
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
►
In the event of ingestion or contact with skin or eyes, seek medical attention
immediately.
NOTICE:
Observe the following precautions to prevent serious damage to the electrical
system.
Jump-starting a shorted or defective battery will cause the voltage regulator to
supply higher than normal voltage. This can severely damage the digital
electronics that control machine operation. If there is any doubt as to the battery’s
condition, a replacement battery should be used or an attempt should be made to
charge the battery before starting the machine.
Do not connect the negative clamp to a carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body
parts.
Do not attempt to operate the machine without a battery.
Dispose of waste batteries in accordance with local environmental regulations.
CAUTION
Electrical arcing can cause severe personal injury.
►
Do not allow positive and negative cable ends to touch.
Procedure Perform the procedure below to jump-start the battery.
1. In very cold weather, check the condition of the electrolytes. If it seems slushy or
frozen, do not try jump-starting until it thaws.
NOTICE:
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolytes inside the battery can freeze.
Attempting to jump-start a frozen battery can cause it to rupture.
2. Disconnect engine load.
3. Use a booster battery of the same voltage as is used with your engine system.
4. Attach one end of the positive cable clamp (red) to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery. Attach the other end of the positive cable clamp to the positive
terminal of the booster battery.
5. Attach the negative cable clamp (black) to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery. Attach the other end of negative cable clamp to a solid chassis
ground on your engine or unpaired portion of the machine frame away from the
"discharged" battery.
