Battery handling
When removing batteries, always disconnect the
negative cable first.
When fitting batteries, always connect the positive
cable first.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
friendly manner. Batteries contain toxic lead.
Never use fast charge to charge the battery. This may
shorten battery life.
Ignition key & Battery Dis-connector key removal in
transit
While transporting the machine on the trailer or container or in
long term parking always ensure that
1. Ignition key should be removed from the ignition switch.
2.Battery dis-connector key should be removed.
This will avoid static parasitic current consumption & saves the
battery life & potential battery drain issue.
Jump starting
Do not connect the negative cable to the negative
terminal on a dead battery. A spark can ignite the
oxy-hydrogen gas formed around the battery.
Check that the battery used for jump starting has the
same voltage as the dead battery.
Turn the ignition and all power consuming equipment off. Switch
off the engine on the machine which is providing jump start
power.
First connect the jump start battery’s positive terminal (1) to the
dead battery’s positive terminal (2). Then connect the jump start
battery’s negative terminal (3) to, for example, a bolt (4) or
hoisting ring on the machine with the dead battery.
Start the engine on the machine providing the power. Let the
engine run a little. Now try to start the other machine. Disconnect
the cables in reverse order.
