Jump Starting
CAUTION
The ONLY safe method for jump starting a discharged Battery is for TWO PEOPLE to carry out the
following process. The second person is needed for removing the jumper cables so that the operator
does NOT have to leave the Operator’s Seat while the Engine is running.
WARNING
Do NOT jump start the Battery if it is frozen. This can cause the battery to rupture or explode.
WARNING
BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES! ALWAYS keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away
from Batteries. Also, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and avoid leaning over batteries while
jump starting.
NOTE
BE SURE that the jumper battery is also a 12 volt D.C. Battery.
ALWAYS use the following procedure to jump start the machine. Follow these procedures in
the order listed to avoid personal injury.
1.
Turn the Key switches 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 addition, place a clean cloth over the uncapped filler holes to prevent
the electrolyte solution from boiling over.
CAUTION
If acid comes in contact with your skin, eyes, or clothing, flush the area IMMEDIATELY with
running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
WARNING
NEVER make the jumper cable connections directly to the Starter Solenoid of the Engine. Make
sure all controls are in Neutral.
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 positive Jumper Cable to the jumper Battery positive (+) terminal.
WARNING
When jump starting, NEVER connect the negative (-) Jumper Cable to the frame or Loader Boom.
Doing so could present a high resistance current path resulting in poor jumper performance.
4.
Connect one end of the negative (-) Jumper Cable to the jumper Battery negative (-)
terminal.
5.
Make final connection of the other end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the disabled
vehicle’s Engine Block, NOT to the Battery Negative Post. When making the
connection to the Engine, keep the clamp away from the Battery, Fuel Lines, Tubing,
or Moving Parts.
