17.1 Precautions for connecting and disconnecting the starter
cables
WARNING
• When you start the engine using connection cables, wear protective goggles.
• If you start the engine by taking electrical power from another machine, check that
your machine does not come into contact with the other machine.
•
To connect the starter cables, start with the positive terminal. To disconnect them,
start with the negative terminal (mass).
• If a tool comes into contact with the machine's positive terminal, there is a risk of
sparks.
• Do not connect the connection cables to the terminals in reverse polarity. For exam-
ple, never connect the negative terminal on one machine to the positive terminal on the
other machine.
• The capacity of the starter cables and the size of the clips must be adapted to the size of
the battery.

• The machines' batteries must have the same capacity.
