F THE BATTERY IS DISCHARGED
17.1 Precautions for connecting and disconnecting the starter
cables
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 example,
•
never connect the negative terminal on one machine to the positive terminal on the other
machine.
•
To connect, start with
the positive terminal (1).
•
The capacity of the starter cables and the size of the clips must be adapted to the size of the
battery.
•
Check that there is no damage, cracks or corrosion on the starter cables and clips.
•
The machines' batteries must have the same capacity.
WARNING
•
To disconnect, start with
the negative terminal (1).
