JUMP-STARTING THE ENGINE
ATTENTION
Do not start the engine using a quick charge
booster to avoid any damage to the electronic
boards.
DANGER
When jump-starting the engine through the battery
of another machine, make sure that the two vehicles
cannot collide to prevent formation of sparks.
Batteries give off a flammable gas and sparks may
burn it and cause an explosion
Do not smoke when checking the electrolyte level.
Keep any metal object like buckles, watch straps,
etc. clear of the battery positive (+) terminal. These
elements can short between the terminal and
nearby metal work and the operator can get
burned.
The booster supply must have the same rated
voltage and output of the battery installed on the
handler.
To jump-start the engine:
• Turn any users off by the special control levers.
• Put the gear lever to neutral and engage the parking
brake.
• Ensure the machine battery A is connected to the
frame earth, the terminals are well tightened and the
electrolyte level is regular.
• Connect the two batteries as shown in the figure.
Connect first the positive terminals of the two
batteries, then the negative terminal of the booster
supply B to the machine frame earth.
• If the booster supply is installed on a second vehicle,
make sure that the latter does not touch the handler.
To avoid damage to the electronic instruments
of the machine, the engine of the machine where
the booster supply is installed, must be stopped.
• Turn the ignition key and start the handler, then
follow the procedure explained in
"Starting the engine".
