USE LOW HEAT PORTABLE LIGHTING
Hot surfaces on trouble lights or portable work lights can set off fuel or battery explosive gases.
BOOST STARTING OR CHARGING ENGINE
BATTERIES
If any mistake is made in the method of connecting
the booster cables, it may cause an explosion or fire.
Always do the following;
• Turn off all electrical equipment before
connecting leads to the battery. This includes
electrical switches on the battery charger or
boost starting equipment.
• When boost-starting from another machine or
vehicle do not allow the two machines to touch.
Wear safety glasses or goggles while required
battery connections are made.
• 24 volt battery units consisting of two series-connected twelve volt batteries have a cable connecting one
positive terminal on one of the 12 volt batteries to a negative terminal on the other battery. Booster or
charger cable connections must be made between the nonseries-connected positive terminals and
between the negative terminal of the booster battery and the metal frame of the machine being boosted
or charged. Refer to the procedure and illustration in Operation and Maintenance Manual.
• Connect positive cable first when installing cables and disconnect the negative cable first when removing
them. The final cable connection, at the metal frame of the machine being charged or boost-started,
should be as far away from the batteries as possible.
