6-6 How to Use Battery Jumper Cables
WARNING
!
BATTERIES EMIT EXPLOSIVE GAS. Do not smoke or have
open flames or sparks in battery charging areas or near
batteries. An explosion can result and cause injury or
death. Hydrogen gas is produced during normal battery
operation. Hydrogen can explode if flames, sparks, or
lighted tobacco are brought near the battery. When
charging or using a battery in an enclosed space, always
provide ventilation and shield your eyes. Wear safety
glasses when working around batteries.
2. Put the truck with the booster battery as near to the other truck
as necessary for the jumper cables to reach both batteries.
Check and make sure that the trucks do not touch each other.
Use particular care when connecting a booster battery to
prevent sparks
.
3. On both trucks:
a. Apply the parking brake.
b. Put the directional control lever in the NEUTRAL position.
c. Turn the key/start switch to the OFF position.
d. Turn all accessories to the OFF position and leave them off
until after the engine has been started and the jumper cables
have been removed.
WARNING
!
To avoid SHORT CIRCUITS, remove all jewelry and do not
permit any metal tools to make contact between the
positive battery terminal and other metal on the truck.
When you connect jumper cable clamps to the positive
terminals of the two batteries, make sure that neither
clamp contacts any other metal. Injury can occur from
electrical shock or explosion.
