START THE ENGINE USING AN EXTERNAL SOURCE
When
starting the engine using an external source of energy, by connecting to the battery of another
machine, check that the two resources do not enter into contact to avoid the po ss
i
b
l
eprotection of sparks.
The batteries emit a flammable gas which sparks could ignite, leading to the battery exploding.
Do not smoke when checking the level of electrolyte.
Keep metal items such as buckles, watch straps, etc. at a distance from the positive cable (+) ofthe battery, as
they may cause a short circuit between this pole and nearby metal components,
and consequently the
operator may be burnt. The external or emergency battery must have the
same nominal voltage and
capacity as the forklift battery.
If
the engine cannot start due to a
flat
battery, another
12V
booster battery can be used together with the
corresponding jump leads to connect thetwo batteries.
If
you use the battery of another machine or
forklift,
avoid the
two machines touch- ing.
1.Apply the forklift’s parking brake.
2.Remove the
right side cover.
3.
Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal and connect the negative
(-)
cable to the negative
(-)
battery terminal (fig
.
1).
4.
Start the forklift in the normal way.
5.
Disconnect the cables from the terminals and the connections, starting with the positive (+) termi-
nals.
Only use a 12V battery, as all other devices (battery chargers, etc.)
could
lead to
the
battery
exploding or
damage
to
the
battery
un
it.
