Jump Starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have
enough power to start the engine, use jumper cables
and the following procedure to jump-start the engine.
NOTE: BE SURE that the jumper battery is also a
12 volt D. C. battery.
1. Turn the keyswitches on both vehicles to OFF.
Make sure that both vehicles are in “Neutral” and NOT
touching.
2. Remove the battery filler caps and make sure that
electrolyte solution is up to the proper level. In addi-
tion, place a clean cloth over the uncapped filler holes
to prevent the electrolyte solution from overflowing.
3. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cable
to the positive (+) battery terminal on the disabled
vehicle first. DO NOT allow the jumper’s positive (+)
cable clamps to touch any metal other than the positive
(+) battery terminals. Connect the other end of the pos-
itive jumper cable to the jumper battery positive (+)
terminal.
4. Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cable
to the jumper battery negative (-) terminal.
5. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connec-
tion to the disabled Telescopic Forklift’s engine block
or frame (ground) -- NOT to the disabled battery neg-
ative post. If making the connection to the engine, keep
the jumper clamp away from the battery, fuel lines, or
moving parts.
NOTE:
Twist the jumper cable clamps a couple
of time on the battery terminals to insure a good
electrical path for conducting current.
WARNING
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in
use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks
away from the battery area. Make sure battery
is charged in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER lay a metal object on top of a battery
as a short circuit can result.
Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or
fabrics. If acid spills, follow these first aid tips:
1. IMMEDIATELY remove any clothing on
which acid spills.
2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affected
area with running water for 10 to 15 min-
utes.
3. If acid comes in contact with the eyes,
flood the eyes with running water for 10 to
15 minutes. See a doctor at once. NEVER
use any medication or eye drops unless
prescribed by the doctor.
4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use
one of the following mixtures:
a. 1 Pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 4
quarts (4 liters) of water.
b. 1 Pint (0.4 liters) of household ammo-
nia in 4 quarts (4 liters) of water.
Whenever battery is removed from the unit,
BE SURE to disconnect the negative (-) bat-
tery terminal connection cable first.
WARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a
dicharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to per-
form the following procedure. The second per-
son is needed for removing the jumper cables
so that the operator does not have to leave the
operator’s compartment while the engine is
running. NEVER connect the jumper cables
directly to the starter solenoid of either
engine. DO NOT start the engine from any
position other than the operator’s seat, and
then ONLY after making sure all controls are in
“neutral.”
Closely follow the jump-start procedures, in
the order listed, to avoid personal injury. In
addition, wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes, and avoid leaning over the batteries
while jump-starting.
DO NOT attempt to jump-start the machine if
the battery is frozen because this may cause it
to rupture or explode.
