Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
WARNING!
Explosion hazard. Batteries contain and give off an
explosive gas which is highly flammable and
explosive. A short circuit, open flame or spark could
cause a violent explosion. Ventilate well.
WARNING!
Never confuse the positive and negative poles on the
batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
1 Check that the auxiliary battery has the same
voltage as the engine system voltage.
2 Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+)
terminal on the discharged battery and then to
the plus terminal on the auxiliary battery.
3 Connect the black start cable to the minus (–)
terminal on the auxiliary battery and to a place
a little distance away from the discharged bat-
tery, e.g. the start motor's negative terminal.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances may the black jumper
cabel (–) come in contact with the positive connec-
tion on the starter motor.
4 Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for
approximately 10 minutes to charge the batter-
ies. Make sure there is no extra equipment con-
nected to the electrical system.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and
hot surfaces.
WARNING!
Do not touch the connections during the start
attempt: Risk of arcing.
Do not bend over any of the batteries either.
5 Turn off the engine. Remove the start cables in
the exact opposite order to their connection.
