Jump-starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have enough power to start the
engine, use jumper cables and the following procedure to jump-start the
engine. Remote battery connectors are located at the rear of the loader.
WARNING
discharged battery is for two people to perform the following
procedure. The second person removes the jumper cables so that
the operator does not have to leave the operator's compartment
with the engine running.
Never make jumper cable connections directly to the starter
solenoid of either engine. Do not start the engine from any position
other than the operator's seat and then only after being sure all
controls are in neutral.
Closely follow the procedure in order to avoid personal injury. In
addition, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. Avoid leaning
over the batteries while jump starting.
Do not jump-start the battery if it is frozen, because it may rupture
or explode. Warm the battery to 60°F (16°C) before connecting to a
charger.
Note: Be sure the jumper battery is a 12 volt D.C. battery.
1. Turn the keyswitches of both machines to
in neutral and
NOT
2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) remote battery
terminal on the disabled loader first. Do not allow the jumper's positive
cable clamps to touch any metal other than the positive (+) remote
terminal. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to the jumper
machine's positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper machine's negative
(-) terminal.
4. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection to the disabled
negative (-) remote terminal.
5. Be sure the brake switch is engaged and that the controls are in neutral.
Start the engine. If it does not start at once, start the jumper machine's
engine to avoid excessive drain on the booster battery.
6. After the disabled loader is started and running smoothly, have the second
person remove the jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from
the jumper machine's battery and then from the disabled loader while
being sure NOT to short the two cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the skid loader alternator to build up a charge in the
battery before attempting to operate the loader or shut off the engine.
