or property damage. To prevent sudden movement
of the telehandler, place wheel chocks in front of and
behind wheels before the brakes are released.
If the telehandler is to be towed, make sure the released
brake(s) can be reapplied or the tow vehicle has the
braking capacity to stop the telehandler.
Warning
DO NOT use ether as a starting aid. Ether is flamma-
ble and can cause an explosion when starting the
engine, which could result in death or serious inju-
ry. Follow the cold starting procedures and engine
manufacturer's specifications for using a starting aid.
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potential-
ly explosive gases. To avoid death or serious injury
when checking, testing, or charging batteries:
• DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.
• Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from bat-
teries.
• Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.
• Wear proper personal protective equipment, including
safety glasses.
Warning
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric
acid, which is poisonous and could cause severe
chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes,
skin, or clothing. Use protective gear when handling
batteries. DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle
in any direction.
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid suggestions:
• External contact; flush with water.
• Eyes; flush with water (including under the eyelids)
for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention im-
mediately. Flushing must begin immediately to avoid
permanent eye tissue damage.
• Internal contact; drink large quantities of water or milk
to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.
IMPORTANT; In case of internal contact, DO NOT give
fluids that induce vomiting.
Jump Starting
Warning
Wear eye protection when connecting jump start
cables. Improper jump start procedures could cause
the battery to explode, which could result in death
or serious injury.
XR5919-A
Electrolyte contains acid and could cause serious
personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.
NEVER jump start the telehandler when travel select
lever is in gear, which can cause the telehandler to
lurch forward or backward, and could result in death,
serious injury, or property damage.
To avoid injury or death when jump starting with an-
other telehandler, make sure the two (2) telehandlers
are not touching.
• Never jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode.
Let the battery thaw out before charging.
• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each
other or any metal surfaces.
• Jump start only with a power source with the same
voltage as the stalled telehandler.
• Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled
telehandler to prevent them from operating when the
power source is connected.
