1.11.8 Pushing and towing
The directives in the Driver's Manual must be complied with when tow-

are not observed, damage may be caused to the
drive train.
1.11.9 Electrical system
•
Never start the engine unless the battery terminals are firmly
connected.
•
Incorrect supply voltage polarity may destroy the control units.
•
Do not undo or disconnect the battery terminals while the engine
is running.
•
If the batteries are flat, the engine can be jump-started using
jump leads and the battery of another vehicle running on the
same voltage. Observe the Driver's Manual and the Maintenance
Manual. (12 V only)
•
Jump-starting with a rapid charger (over voltage) is not permit-
ted.
•

For information about the installation of additional electrical
components, see Section 7 Electrical system, page 221.
•
Cables routed near exhaust systems must be protected
against high temperatures.
•
Cables must not be routed near the exhaust manifold or
turbocharger.
•
Install the cables in such a way that there are no chafe or
shear points (in vehicle torsion and relative movement be-
tween vehicle and implement or body parts), particularly at
crossing points and sharp edges and use cable channels
or conduit if necessary.
•
Do not attach electric cables to brake lines.
•
Do not carry out measurements at connector contact
points using unsuitable media (test probes, wire ends,
etc.). This may lead to contact problems as a result of the
formation of contact resistance. Use suitable test leads.
•
The ground terminal of the welding unit must be connected
directly to the part to be welded and as close as possible
to the welding point.
