PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
•
Always wear protective eyeglasses and rubber gloves
when starting the engine by using the jumper cables.
•
When connecting a normal machine to a failed machine
with the jumper cables, always use the normal machine
with the same battery voltage as the failed machine.
•
When starting the engine with the jumper cables, perform
the starting operation with 2 workers (one worker sitting in
the operator's seat and the other working with the battery).
•
When starting from another machine, be careful that the
normal machine does not contact with the failed machine.
•
When connecting the jumper cables, turn the starting
switch to OFF position for both the failed machine and the normal machine. If the failed machine has a bat-
tery disconnect switch, turn it to OFF position, and turn it ON again after connecting the cables.
For details of operation of the battery disconnect switch, see "BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH (3-139)".
It is dangerous that the machine may move when the power is connected.
•
Be sure to connect the positive (+) cable first when installing the jumper cables. Disconnect the negative (-)
cable (ground side) first when removing them.
•
When disconnecting the jumper cables, take care not to bring the clips in contact with each other or with the
machine.
•
For the starting procedure with the jumper cables, see OPERATION, "START ENGINE WITH JUMPER CA-
BLES (3-288)".
START ENGINE WITH AUXILIARY ENGINE STARTING CONNECTOR
If any mistake is made in the method of connecting the auxiliary engine starting connector, it may cause the
battery to explode, so always observe the following.
•
When connecting a normal machine to a failed machine
with the auxiliary engine starting connector, always use the
normal machine with the same battery voltage as the failed
machine.
•
When starting the engine with the auxiliary engine starting
connector, perform the starting operation with 2 workers
(one worker sitting in the operator's seat and the other
working with the battery).
•
When starting with the auxiliary engine starting connector,
be careful that the normal machine does not contact with
the failed machine.
•
Turn the starting switch of both the failed machine and the normal machine to OFF position when starting
the engine with the auxiliary engine starting connector. If the failed machine has a battery disconnect
switch, turn it to OFF position, and turn it ON again after connecting the cables.
For details of operation of the battery disconnect switch, see "BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH (3-139)".
•
For the starting procedure with the auxiliary engine starting connector, see OPERATION, "START ENGINE
WITH AUXILIARY ENGINE STARTING CONNECTOR (3-290)".
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION
If the checks before starting are not performed properly, the machine will be unable to display its full perform-
ance. It is dangerous and may cause serious personal injury or death.
When performing the checks, move the machine to a wide area with no obstructions, and pay careful attention
to the surroundings. Prohibit anyone other than the operator from coming close to the machine during operation.
