Machine Operation

Jump-Start the Engine

WARNING!
• When working with any open electrical circuit, ensure that your hands are free of any metal
objects (rings, watches, jewelry, etc.).
• The top of the battery must be kept clean to prevent plugging of the battery vents.
Regularly wash the top of the battery to prevent the battery vents from plugging.
• Battery gases are explosive. Never smoke around batteries or expose them to sparks or
open flames.
• Wear personal protective equipment when working with batteries.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• If battery acid contacts your skin or eyes, flush the area immediately with fresh water and
seek medical attention.
• Always jump-start the engine with equal voltages. The starting system voltage and the
battery voltage in the boosting machine should be no more than 12V. Never use a welder or
equipment with a higher voltage system to jump-start the machine. Using a higher voltage
to jump-start the engine may damage the electrical system or cause an explosion or fire.
• The jumper cables and their clamps must be undamaged, have no corrosion, and be
suitable for the amperage. All clamps must be securely attached to their jumper cable
ends.
• Be careful when disconnecting jumper cables after both engines are running. Never allow
the jumper cable clamps to touch each other.
Failure to observe and follow these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
1. Make sure the key switches of both machines are in the OFF position.
2. Set all controls to their neutral positions.
