Starting With Auxiliary Battery - UniCarriers FD160-2 Operation & Maintenance Manual

STARTING WITH AUXILIARY BATTERY

WARNING
When starting the engine using an auxiliary battery, make sure
to connect the (-) cable finally. Connect the cable to a point
away from the battery, such as either of the two tilt cylinders,
but not to the (-) terminal of the battery. This will help prevent
the occurrence of sparks which might cause a fire.
CAUTION
• Keep the booster cable in place while the starter motor
is turning; otherwise sparks occur to cause an accident.
• Never allow the (+) terminal of the booster cable to come
in contact with the (-) terminal of the booster cable.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1) Make certain that auxiliary battery unit supplies 24 volts
(connect two 12-V batteries in series).
2) Connect the booster cables in the following order:
① Connect the red cable (+) to the(+) terminal of the auxiliary
battery.
② Connect the red cable (+) to the (+) terminal of the battery
on the truck.
③ Connect the black cable (-) to the (-) terminal of the auxiliary
battery.
④ Connect the black cable (-) to the (-) terminal of the frame at
a point away from the battery on the truck, such as to either
of the two tilt cylinders.
3) Start the engine.
4) After the engine has started, remove the booster cables in the
reverse order of connection.
