Jumper Cable Starting - IHI 15VX Operation Manual

WARNING
Battery gives off flammable fumes that can
explode.
When starting from another machine,
make sure the machines do not touch.
This will prevent damage to engine
bearings and electrical circuits.
Always connect the battery POSITIVE (+)
to battery POSITIVE (+) and and the
battery NEGATIVE (–) to battery
NEGATWE (–).
Jump only with a battery source and with
the same voltage as the stalled machine.
This machine has a 12 volt starting system.
Use only equal voltage for lump starting.
Use higher voltage will damage the
electrical system.
Be sure the start switch is in the OFF
position BEFORE attaching the jumper
cables to the machine to be started.
